What Psychedelic Shrooms Work Best In Different Growing Methods?

If you are wondering, “Why are my Penis Envy Mushrooms not germinating/fruiting well in my BRF jars?” or “Why does my Squat Mac come out super small and deformed in my all in one grow bag?” then we shall assess these valid questions! I’m here to name off a few mushroom strains that fit best and which ones aren’t exactly the best methods depending on the grow method chosen.

BRF Mushroom Growing Jars

Brown Rice Flour (BRF) Jars -

This is also known as the PF Tek Method, one of the most classic mushroom growing styles. Also a super easy way of just learning how to innoculate, watching jars colonize, and a seamless transfer to your fruiting chamber. But why exactly do some mushrooms perform well in the BRF jars as opposed to some other mushroom strains? The answer to that - the less substrate for mycelium to feed off of creates less chance for success in certain varieties. 

A Few Mushroom Strains That WILL Thrive With a PF Tek Set Up:

· Golden Teacher 

· Maui Platinum 

· B+ 

A Few Mushroom Strains That WON’T Work Very Well:

· Penis Envy 

· Bull-Run

· Squat Mac

All-in-One Grow Bag

All In One Grow Bag -

The all in one (AIO) bag is a great way for beginners to learn inoculation as well as having the simplicity of growing in just one bag without needing a monotub or anything too crazy to start with. 

With that being said, I’ll also say there are going to be pros and cons amongst different varieties that can grow in an all in one grow method. In general, the yield that comes from an all in one bag can be minimal and I want you guys to get the best bang for your buck without having any further issues with yield and deformations.

A Few Mushrooms That WILL Work With The AIO Setup:

· Amazonian

· Blue Meanie Cube

· Jedi Mind Fuck (JMF)

A Few Mushrooms That WON’T Work Very Well:

· Hillbilly

· True Albino Teacher (TAT)

· Albino Penis Envy (APE) 

Bulk Mushroom Grow

Bulk Grow Set Up -

Bulk growing is high on the versatility scale due to the different mushrooms it can house. This involves starting on grains and then transferring to a substrate into a monotub, tote, aluminum pan, the options are endless. The only difference would be the kind of substrate that is called for your mushrooms. If it’s a grass lover, you will use a grass-loving substrate, if they need a manure-based substrate, use that. Again, the possibilities are endless.

If issues are arising in your bulk grow setting, it could potentially be lack of air flow, lack of oxygen, too hot/cold of conditions, ratio of grain to substrate is off, etc. Fear not, there are super simple ways of fixing these errors.
