In my experience, the problem with blue oysters isn't the initiation of pinning but ensuring that the pins actually grow into anything edible in terms of size. Blue oysters seem to be very demanding when it comes to air quality which is a big problem when growing indoors with this particular strain. Regular grey oysters, pink oysters grow fine, even if not as optimally...but blues always turn out small and weak and where i live most of the year it's freezing cold outside...can't exactly keep a window open 24/7 without freezing my own butt off. But the benefit of blue oysters is that the colonization is ridiculously fast, just a few days after adding grain spawn to a substrate...the mycelium had already spread to like 1/3 of the block. Strongest strain i've seen thus far. But i also add things to the substrate easy for the mushroom to eat - grass pellets, sunflower seed hull pellets. I avoid grain bran because of the high contam risk.
hey Seth, all of the mycelium is connected and sends it's energy to the mushrooms that develop at that one slit, typically it forms a 2-3 pound cluster from that one spot. If you do more holes to fruit from it tends to be a higher number of mushrooms but smaller clusters, you don't get more yield by cutting more holes.

Please explain the filter patch and where it is.

How long for the substrate block to fully colonize?
Genetics are important but anywhere from 2-6 wks for a 5lb bag
awesome man!
How much did it weigh
about 2.5 pounds
Those look like 10lb bags to me. If you take a look at the filter patch, they typically only use that style on that size bag if you look it up.
Yeah 10 lb bag of substrate the fruiting bodies were 2.5 pounds
that seems really wasteful. Only one slit? The whole block is there. Can you explain that?

@@fungially that makes sense and really appreciate the follow up answer. cheers mate!
Dude is high af
Lol
Do all the oyster mush rooms get you high seen some on Amazon didn’t list as (magic)
Huh? Where’d you hear that oysters contain psilocybin 😹 that would be the day
first on 3 videos in a row :)
wondering if I won a prize LOL
haha you should totally win a prize first view on 3 videos in a row, what more are you going to do today?
