📚 Growing Stages Guide
Reference guide for each stage of the typical cultivation process with expected durations.
🧪 Inoculation
- Introduction of spores or culture to substrate
- Work in sterile conditions (SAB or flow hood)
- Label with date, species, and generation
- Store in dark, warm location (20-24°C / 68-75°F)
🌿 Colonization
- Mycelium spreads through substrate
- Watch for contamination (green, black, pink)
- Maintain temperature and darkness
- No need to open or disturb
💪 Consolidation
- Wait after full colonization for strength
- Mycelium becomes denser and whiter
- Prepare fruiting chamber
- Usually 5-10 extra days
🍄 Fruiting Conditions
- Introduce to fruiting chamber
- Fresh air exchange (FAE) 2-4x daily
- High humidity (85-95%)
- Light cycle (12 hours on/off)
📍 Pinning
- Small mushroom primordia appear
- Maintain humidity - critical stage
- Don't disturb pins
- Growth visible within hours
🎉 Harvest
- Harvest just before veils break
- Twist and pull gently
- Remove all fruits and aborts
- Soak for subsequent flushes
💡 Tracking Tips
📝 What to Log
- Daily observations - Even "no change" is useful data
- Temperature readings - Note any fluctuations
- Photos from same angle - Makes comparison easier
- Contamination signs - Document immediately for learning
- Mushroom measurements - Size, weight, quantity
- Environmental changes - Weather, season, humidity
⚠️ Warning Signs to Document
- Green, blue-green, black, or pink coloration
- Unusual odors (sour, fermented, chemical)
- Wet, slimy spots on substrate
- Cobweb-like overlay (different from normal mycelium)
- Slow or stalled colonization
