@Cat O’Rourke you have just 2 shrooms on your mushroom cake?
I need more details about your growing process, cultivation tek, what strain?

Curious; the filters aren't HEPA filter-rated.... surprised these have enough filtration
Also; you do get decent laminar flow from these? I guess since you don't have any contam issues it must be fine. Did you use the filter that comes with the fan at all?
Is this really panaeolus cyanescens? A couple of months ago I went out to collect mushrooms in my field, and I found about a kilo of these mushrooms, but I could not verify that they were safe to consume since I did not know their species. And using a mushroom app, it told me that they were toxic, so I decided to throw them away 😭😭😭
I read your whole article. Haven't found much micellium yet. It's dry in So Cal, Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley. So I mist them and alcohol them. Try not to get to clumpy or soggy. Hard to find a happy medium. But I found some old grow dung dirt with old spores and hooked them up outside and the freshies will grow in my towel closet in the bathroom. Then I took some pieces of P.E. shrooms and,1/2 top and 1/2 stem and crumbs from bottom of bag, and it has micellium growing. That's in my bathtub. If I have success,I will have 9 kids of shrooms. I'll be praying hard. ❤ I'm a 67 year old lady baby boomer. I love shrooms for every reason....💋🤙🏼💎💃🏼🎬
Thanks so much for this article, it's saved me from throwing away a potentially great grow as I was worried about it being contaminate.
I'll be introducing a lot more fresh air exchange now, and hopefully fix the issue.
@VK each method has pros & cons. Play with different options to find the best tek for you. Don't forget to share your results, please ;)
Casing isn't nutritious, so sterilization isn't necessary. We use pausterization (steam heat or in the oven for 1-2 hours at 160-180F or even in microwave). But the main point for casing is pH adjusting. You can find details on Step 8. Casing section
Regarding outdoor growing, yes you can bury wasted cakes in the garden in the shade and get shrooms. It is possible under proper climate conditions (warm, high relative humidity), because P. Cubensis are warm-loving tropical/subtropical shrooms. Check the examples I've shared on the final Step 20: Disposing of shroom cakes
Psilocybe Natalensis (African species) great for indoor and outdoor growing for hot season (77-105°F or +25°..40°C).
Psilocybe Azurescens is possible to grow on an outdoor bed in continental climate.
You can cultivate some edible mushrooms outdoor as well ;)
Wonderful guide! Thank you! I am going to experiment with adding some honey when I rehydrate my substrate. I am also thinking of adding some soil as a casing. I figure it does not have to be sterilized because the mycelium is well established.
Question, have you had much luck growing any mushrooms in your garden?

I’ve recently tried to grow shrooms but only 2 emerged, what do I do now?

Awesome!

beautiful!
Mold test on agar air sampling
Found a better filter; MERV 16 (HEPA's are rated at MERV 17) - this one has the same form factors as the ones you posted too, including thickness

Found a higher rated filter that might work better; maybe it's overkill but it does have a higher MERV rating

Just did Google pictures search mine looks the same curious what happened ✌️
Had good initial mycelium growth then stalled. What I'm missing?
