![]() ![]() Where you fruit them depends on your situation, time of year, climate ect… Your hard work has paid off and it’s time to fruit the mushrooms. Once you see this, you know it’s time to fruit! You should notice small clusters forming through some of the holes in the bucket. ![]() Once the bucket is fully colonized, pins will start to form. …But that’s not going to happen… right?!?! If that is the case, it’s time to toss the bucket and try again. This could be from bad spawn, contaminated chips, or poor environmental conditions. If you see no growth, or smell anything funky, it means that your bucket was contaminated. You should see that it is slowly expanding and working it’s way across the chips. Dig under the chips and take a look at the mycelium. If you want, feel free to take a peek under the lid after a week or so. This will allow the mushrooms to breathe, but help retain the humidity.ĭepending on temperatures, spawn rate, and species, your bucket should be fully colonized in 10-21 days. An easy way to avoid this is to loosely drape a plastic bag over the bucket while it’s colonizing. The important part is that it doesn’t dry out. You can leave it in the dark, but that is not crucial- it will still colonize fine if exposed to ambient light. Nothing fancy here- just keep it out of the sun, in a cool location if possible.īest bet is to put it in a basement or cool garage. Once the bucket is inoculated in layers, toss a lid on and put it somewhere to colonize. Let your chips sit in the hot water for 8+ hours, or until they have completely cooled off.
