As a Dane trying to get cultivating, I must admit that a lot of the tips and tricks that I see on these shows (and anywhere else on YT) seem to be a bit 'Murica-centric, which of course makes sense. However, maybe it's just me and as you keep saying, I might get a reality-check later on, but I feel that the lengths that I keep hearing advised for success, even for like beginners is a bit over the top. I constantly hear about having to create a separate dedicated room, bleaching stuff down, laminar flow hoods, specific additives and so on. I live in a 1 room 38m2 apartment and hearing all of these things honestly prepared me to fail a lot, but after getting a hang of how much solution/LC to add to my grain I really haven't had any problems so far. Got me some Enigma and Yeti genetics, didn't even have a PC for the first successful Enigma jars I prepared using the oven tek with my kitchen hood on, put the jars in a cupboard, beautiful colonization and I am just about a month from harvest on those in a homemade monotub. The only contamination issues I've dealt with so far has been bacterial because I've injected too much liquid in my grains. Also using tap water which is a lot cleaner here compared to America luckily. I guess I just really wanted to share for other beginners out there, that you really don't need to buy all this expensive equipment to get started, you just need to get a hang of it and get going. Just accept contamination as a possibility and start growing, and don't listen to people trying to hold you down with pf-tek which I also see everywhere (If you don't have the equipment your only real road to success is pf-tek, pffft). If you don't have a PC look into Tyndallization and you'll be okay. Much love to everyone
If you listen to the 100+ episodes I've produced, there are many instances of me saying that everyone has different living conditions, different contam conditions, different income levels, but that anyone can grow mushrooms. I've had Microdex Mushrooms, 90 Second Mycology, etc.....all are low-tech friendly. But I have also said that this podcast "goes deep" and we definitely focus on more advanced cultivation approaches. There are so many pf tek videos on RUclips. I am trying to focus on a niche that didn't exist. In the US, you can readily buy an all-in-one grow bag and some LC and have fruit easily. With over 90% of my audience being from the US, our focus and content definitely skews to our reality. Appreciate the perspective, I will truly absorb it and see how I can use it to augment the programming in the future!
@@mycoGeeky Hey, I loved your replies, and I definitely know that you also remember us poor people in other episodes (I have become an avid viewer, and I do love your podcasts, sorry for not even giving props in my comment
I live in the exact same space as you, and I started putting my sab on my bed when I needed to use it, now I have a Martha and my incubator in my bedroom, and a rolling cart as my rolling mycology lab with a mini flow food on top with all my Myco tools on it, and a microscope on my kitchen table. I'm proof positive that if you really get the bug, you make it work for you.

Was just having a look at the selection today, nice. Waiting for _P. caeruleorhiza_ to become available again. Very curious to see how that one enjoys the PNW. Going to see if I can get a _P. muliercula_ patch to overwinter in the PNW also -- seems like it should be possible, considering their high elevation range.
@@mycoGeeky I haven't seen anyone successfully germinate pluteus spores, if I can find another specimen I will definitely get a clone, it's an undescribed active pluteus I've had sequenced with Alans help and then got the provisional name set with Scott ostuni's help. All the papers I've read(only 2 I could find) haven't been successful, I've used water agar and nutrient agar (mya) unsuccessfully, just curious if anyone that was watching with experience with germinating difficult spores had some tips or had germinated pluteus americanus that I hadn't come across. Still searching the area for a specimen for a holotype.
@@mycoGeeky no worries I was honestly hoping you were gonna be like yeah dude duh here's a whole group for just pluteus and point me to something I had been missing lmao it's all good I'm finally sending swabs off to kilor for photographing and moved on from trying to get them to germinate. Still searching for a holotype when the weather is right for it though.
This Dreamer tub stuff was what I did years ago for the first ever fruits! I can't be the only one and this is what lots of myco_geeks did for their first time and I can honestly say IT FKN WORKS PERFECTLY. side note scaling up with auto fill and u c lights and ⁴inch ducting is very challenging to keep clean. start small and modular! it works perfectly!
Pretty sure he said an 80 quart tub on his Instagram. I'm making 2 110 litre tubs up here in Canada. They're a bit longer. I'm just doing the 1 tube getting fed into each tub instead of 2 tubes and only got a T joint coming out the humidifier n I'll see how that works out.
@gregscottcampbell works good, tampanensis growing nice and healthy looking. Switched to a timer for the humidifier. Inkbird kept it a little too wet for my liking. The sensor on the humidity controller he uses is junk, didn't work brand new out the box. Luckily I had an inkbird but like I said ended up going with a timer, about 2 minutes on and 8 n a half off for one tub. Running 2 tubs I was doing 3 minutes on and 8 n a half off. Also I remember geeky asking phenodreamers how tampanensis feels. I made a tea with 20.8g fresh with half a lemon squeezed in. How I make my tea is I simmer for 15 minutes . The amount of water i use is the cup im using to drink out of, by the time 15 minutes is up about half that water should be evaporated. Anyways. I read online the Potency can vary from regular cubes to as strong as pans. I was sipping the tea, about 15 minutes in and half way through the tea I felt a very intense body buzz. I got scared, "these are fuckin strong". I've never felt such an intense feeling while sipping my tea. I took one more sip n left 1/4 of the tea untouched. I wrestled with it, fighting it. I put on stress anxiety music and just had a super relaxing body buzz. Very Intense body buzz but when I got into that relaxing state it was pure bliss. By the end of the trip I felt super relaxed even after it wore off and into the next day. And it leviated the negative emotions I was struggling with which was the reason I was taking, what I thought was going to be, a mild tea. I remember getting angry during the trip n wanting to get rid of all my mushrooms and cultivating equipment and lab equipment. Was angry because it wasn't the trip I wanted. I was humbled and I'm still not giving it up. Just will tone it down. I got the 2nd flush of tampa coming In. Also all my spawn is bacterial. Idk what my problem is but I've yet to produce a clean spawn jar. Tamps doesn't seem to care. They'll grow a canopy regardless. I had pans growing next to them n got nothing, didn't even fully colonize all the sub. My subtropicalis got green while colonizing before getting put in fruiting conditions. I have a monotub of subtropicalis but nothing yet, been like a month. I see some primordia but something tells me they'd fruit better in the dreamer tub. The tampanensis in shoeboxes and mono tubs grow like spaghetti. Pretty much impossible to get prints.
It must be a common trait between a lot of us, mycoheads. I used to have money in the bank, but now I have stainless steel tables, flow hoods, and enough genetics to keep me busy for the next decade.😂
I'm the same way. I got my own lab. Love mycology and the medical alkaloids that can be extracted even from legal fruits. Mycology is so fun, and cool to get into. You learn more from your failures than your successes. If you get discouraged because of failures. This isn't for you, but you will fail quite a bit until you get your method down.
The full genomic expression of a two individuals within a species are similar enough to maintain the species yet there is still differences. Thus the genetic diversity you see in humans for example.

Neoxalapensis would work too
Is the rainwater in the cloud forest a different ph from the tap water or spring water used to mist?
@@wonbaddadgaming9537 I like how you think. Rainwater would have a pH of 5.6 (it tends to be a bit acidic), distilled water sits at about 7pH.
Geeky- love the show, newer follower (July 2024) and do mostly audio. How can I get a link to the discord channel? Keep crushing it bro!
Some beautiful pictures 😮sheesh
Any tips on germinating pluteus spores
They typically germinate easily. Could you take a clone culture? what methods have you tried? How old are the spores?
@@mycoGeeky I haven't seen anyone successfully germinate pluteus spores, if I can find another specimen I will definitely get a clone, it's an undescribed active pluteus I've had sequenced with Alans help and then got the provisional name set with Scott ostuni's help.

H2O2 for cleaning up spore prints & swabs?! 😲 that is wild! i wonder if/how that affects the longevity of the spores.
what size of tub is the dreamer tub?
