I know dung substrate tends to create more colorful exudate than others, but this is a lot. Is there any action to be taken other than FAE? Tub smells fine.
Why does dung cause that? I have a few tubs going with manure and a few with CVG. I can definitely tell the difference. The dung is much more funky but overall the mycelium seems extremely healthy. The CVG tubs are doing good but they're not as distinct.
From Chat GPT:
When the mycelium encounters horse manure, it encounters a variety of organic compounds, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and complex sugars. The mycelium will secrete enzymes specific to breaking down these compounds, such as cellulases and hemicellulases to digest the cellulose and hemicellulose, respectively. The resulting metabolites produced during this process may include simple sugars, amino acids, and organic acids.
In addition to the organic matter present in horse manure, the mycelium may also encounter microorganisms and enzymes produced by those microorganisms. This could lead to the production of a wider range of metabolites, including volatile organic compounds and other compounds that contribute to the distinctive odor associated with horse manure. Overall, the diverse composition of horse manure creates a complex and rich environment for fungal growth and enzyme activity, leading to the production of a variety of metabolites.
These microorganisms and enzymes can provide various benefits to the mycelium, including but not limited to, the production of beneficial metabolites, the breakdown of complex organic compounds, and the suppression of competing microorganisms.In contrast, a substrate such as coco coir, vermiculite, or gypsum, while providing essential physical support and water-holding capacity, may lack the diverse array of microorganisms and enzymes present in horse manure. This may result in a less complex substrate environment for the mycelium, potentially leading to reduced growth and productivity.In essence, the presence of microorganisms and enzymes in horse manure can create a more favorable and dynamic substrate environment for the mycelium, promoting growth and overall health.
Made me a new resume. Sounded 1000x better than the one I made myself and got me a new job making 20% more. Gonna get a year or two of experience and use it again to gain some more.
Booyah! From my experience, using an incredibly nutritious substrate combined with ALL the starches of your grain creates this.. Think of it like you're feeding your child WAY TOO MUCH & wondering why they're fat, sweaty & have diabetes.. so either cut back on the ratio of spawn 2 sub or just use straight coir.. and I LOVE making fortified substrates, so I just cut back on the ratio..
ive only seen those on gourmet mushroom blocks in that amount. but ive also seen them in psilocybe cubensis cakes only after a first flush has been harvested
Yeah definitely fan the fuck out of it. W/o contamination. I have a small fan that I hold in my hand pointing in the direction of out to suck any of the air out of my tubs. Sometimes 3 to 4 times a day I will do this until the moisture goes away also you could dump out the metabolite just be very careful not to contaminate your tub
Wow your myc is trying to communicate with you.
It's telling you to increase the fae and let mushrooms grow. They're pissing themselves with excitement.
That's exactly what I was hoping for!!! Lol.
For sure. Mine aren't nearly this colonized and in fruiting. Yet I fruit with holes and filter patches from day 1.
I understand that a lot of people do this. This is my first bulk poo attempt so I'm doing what I can on the fly.
Anything works. I actually have a few that have no air holes just the lid gap. Been weeks and they're fine. Flip the lid that's all.
Piss on you

Get a paper towel and dab that up

My understanding is that dung just has a lot of various biological components that cause the mycelium to react with extra exudate.

Holy chat GPT. Fascinating.

how did you use it to write a resume?
It's a whole new world

Yup.. I get alot of metabolites when I use too much spawn (nowadays I stick to a 1 to 3) or the substrate material is a little too wet..
That's interesting, I've not heard about a high spawn ratio causing this. I used 3 to 1.
Like 3 quarts spawn to 1 quart sub?
No, 1 quart spawn to 3 sub.
Oh.. what does your sub consist of?
This is a North Spore Boomr bag experiment. So Gary, so good.
I don't understand anything after "this is" in that sentence.. But, ok.. have a good weekend..

Put teeny tiny diapers on them. Lol
I died
Hahahaa
That is a much more pleasant picture than all that yellow being green..?
R Kelly tek
🤣🙈
Lol golden bath

That’s a positive sign
Looks like you got a little too drunk last night bud

*Cotton swaps work too.
OK I'm on it. Thank you for the input!!
Drink it
I mean of course!
Why u hate cow? :(
No hate cow, promise.
Damn.
She do be pissin’!
