Hello!
Yeah - this is a mushroom question - a little out of place, but cannot reach the section for it so far, so here it is ;D
I have some mushroom mycelium and can clearly see it through a plastic wall.
Now I moist it very often and keep it away from potential mold sources.
I guess it is less than 2 weeks until the mycelium will start to grow some mushrooms itself, but I have passed more than 3 weeks, possibly even 4 and nothing has happened so far. I mean: the mycelium looks exactly like on the 1st day.
This is somehow strange as I thought that just mold can stop or hinder the growth of a mushroom - and I clearly have a shroomie free of those here.
I start getting nervous about my little boy, do you know what could be wrong with him ?
Things to say about:
1. I have him 4 h a complete water soaking and then started just to moist it inderectly and only a little bit at once. Some sources say you should do a 24 h soak ... so was mine too less ? Would it make a difference to make another one ? But I don't think that 4 h is too short to make ANY growing impossible.
2. I had a spraying flask with isopropanol (desinfection stuff) and poured everything out to fill it with water to add it to my friend. But I did not come up with the idea that the tube inside of the spraying flask also must be emptied. So when I sprayed, possible soooome of the isopropanol came into the container - but not directly on the shroom. Do you think this little portion of isopropanol is hindering it from growing at all now ?
THXXX for any Help !
