what type of mushrooms are you growing on there

[sporeprints]

@crystalbluerain this was shiitake I believe.

@sporeprintify I was wondering how you keep the moisture. I tried to do an outdoor spawn to wood chips and I used corn spawn, the damn squirrels some how smelled the corn or something and dug it up and ate the spawn.

@PakaNoHida oh, you can use beeswax, yes. you can also use cheese wax, or if you cannot get a hold of those two, go to the store and get some canning wax.

@sporeprintify

Is it beeswax or some other kind?

[sporeprintify]

@PakaNoHida it is so the mycelium is protected against bugs that like to eat it, and also prevents drying out :)

Wax? HUH? Why?
