Shrooms and pot

Your thoughts on fruiting mushrooms and starting cannabis seedlings in the same environment.

@CoyoteCody may know about that one…

Mushrooms need a lot of humidity (>90% RH.) I use a martha tent with a humidifier in it to fruit shrooms. Sterility is also very important for shroom growing. It’s best to keep them in a very tightly controlled environment.

Here are a couple of great threads from the shroom growers here.

Psilocybin Adventures

Hey all, so I know they we have a few people interested in this topic so I figured I would make a thread revolving around psilocybin cubensis and other magic and even the not so special kind of mushrooms if you are growing them. My last grow was alacabenzis, and they were pretty good, I learned a lot about the craft, and am still learning today. For my second round I will be attempting B+ in milo grain and horse manure. I will post pictures and stuff as soon as everything gets here. All are …

Caligurl's 2021 Mushroom Grow

First off, I’m growing these baby Portobellos So, my first grow didn’t go so well… I’ll explain later but I only ended up with about 1/4 ounce dried including the second flush. Next one gave me a tad over an ounce on the first flush and looked like this… of course I had more that I harvested intermittently… [IMG_5436] So, I guess, normally the second flush would produce less but here’s what it produced [IMG_5599] Up next, a grow start to finish… my journey of making my own spore s…

Not to mention Mushrooms tend to prefer the dark and pot is one of the most light hungry plants , I suppose with a nice even canopy you’d have a dark underbrush but that’s fairly late veg into flower

You could, but you would risk contamination much more than having their own enclosure. Also the humidity point was brought up, mushrooms like super high humidity, and while that may not cause a problem with the seedling itself, it could definitely cause some mold growth in/on the soil.

[Caligurl]

Yup, agree with above. At first, risk of contamination is high. Once mycelium has been established, that risk drops, then once the shrooms are pinning and forming, the risk is low.

Mushrooms don’t need darkness like once thought, but direct lighting (especially like we grow our Sacred Plant with is way too much. Ambient lighting up until fruiting, then I use a 4-bulb T5 with only 2 bulbs.

Humidity, yes needs to be very high (approx. 90% +/-)

I’ve been using my second grow tent but thinking of getting a more appropriate space for them.
