B+ bulk in a box (mondo low tech)
Bulk substrates are damned fun to play with!!!
This is a transparent vertical file holding box (from Wal Mart - $5ish) with the bottom 5-6 inches light shielded with aluminum foil and duct tape. Inside is 8 cups of Popcorn spawned to 12 cups of bulk substrate . incubation was at room temperature in big cardboard box (in the dark).
After fully colonized, the tub was exposed to indirect sunlight and fanned twice per day (morning and evening). NO direct sunlight!
This is the tub, 12 days later…
Four days later (almost ready to print):
And here it is stupid high res and just pretty as hell (remember, each of those has a stem 4-6 inches long):
The only down side is that all those monsters were deeply rooted in the substrate . As a result, the mycelial mat was badly damaged during harvest. A second flush would be cool, but it isn’t really expected….
The up side is that harvest was well in excess of a pound (wet), so a second flush would just be gravy anyway!

The second flush went a little long and turned the top of the substrate "spore print purple," so it was flipped over and 10 days later it spat out this:
Later flushes can make for some real monsters! Check this cluster (this dude has big hands, by the way):
The caps in this flush were really beautiful and totally photogenic. Here is the prettiest one in two different lighting schemes to accentuate it's different features:
And finally, three beautiful caps. Same strain , same substrate , same flush (even the same cluster)...variety is the spice of life!!!
You can do some VERY cool things with a hand fanned plastic box and a little worm poo!!!

- Bulk substrate mix was 40/40/20 coir/castings/poly. Hydrated with EarthJuice, to make things more complicated.
