Kombucha drink

And my mushroom began to crawl out of the can. It rises above the water, and if you lower it, gas comes out, and it rises again after a short time.

[Natalia]

Natalia, Natasha, pour less water, otherwise it will deform, it was like that for me too

[Natalia]

Natalia, it is he who is trying to find a comfortable position for himself. I completely agree with the previous post - less solution.

[Natalia]

Natalia, Ludmila, thanks, girls I will consider for the future.

And my mushroom grows only from the sides, and in the middle a thin one remains and brown, it may be a month old, therefore, it has not yet grown. We change tea in three days in five. And always this brown hat is raised high above the liquid.

It happens to me too, but you wash it?

and in the middle there is also a thin brown

Tatyana, maybe he is sick? My entire surface is completely overgrown with a new light layer. Does it stand still in an acidic solution? Usually, if the mushroom is in solution, the film begins to turn brown. And this is a sign that he is dying.
I read all these assumptions from the book of Neumyvakin (professor, doctor of medical sciences).

yes, I wash it, but not every time, it didn’t stand for more than five days. On the contrary, I was told that if a mushroom stays in one solution longer, then it grows faster, it grows quickly from the edges and is thin in the center.
And today I changed the tea for him, so the lower layer with the beard peeled off by itself. And the center became even thinner. I don't want him to get sick.

Admin, Tatiana! Thank you for such informative material.
I need to ask you something. Please describe how the new top layer is formed on the mushroom. The fact is that I got a mushroom that stood in the closet for more than 6 months without leaving. He was very thick, I barely pulled him out of the cylinder. I cleaned it well, leaving one clean, transparent layer. After that, it dawned on me that I do not know what solution to fill it with. I looked on the Bread Maker and found your topic about kombucha. It was too late to correct the mistake ... I poured tea solution into my fungus. On the first day, it sank to the bottom, then partially rose, while a white coating, similar to mold, appeared on the surface of the liquid. Then this plaque thickened and became a thin layer of fungus. This layer is dry on top.
After 4 days, she poured the finished drink (it was like soda with small bubbles), and without rinsing the mushroom, she poured fresh tea. On the second day, history repeated itself. A whitish film began to appear on the surface of the tea, which began to acquire a gelatinous structure.
Please tell me, is your mushroom growing like that?
Top coat and must be dry?
Doubts gnaw at me whether it will be possible to restore the fungus ...

[Marina]

Marina, for me, for example, it now generally jumps almost entirely, and below only its lower part and at the same time it grows normally. Drain so that you can also drink with benefit, as you are ready, then

Natalia, thank you for such a quick response! I wonder how!
It turns out that the mushroom grows even if it rises above the surface of the liquid, as in the photo by Natasha niamka on the page above.

From the old mushroom, I have only one thin layer and another layer has grown. After changing the tea, the mushroom plunged into the solution. Again, whitish spots appeared on the surface of the liquid, which then merge and become a new layer. I can't figure it out - is this normal?
Maybe it will be while the mushroom grows layers?
Or is it a sign that for a long time without leaving the mushroom has died and I am in vain trying to resurrect it?

If the mushroom on the surface, white, produces delicious carbonated water, then everything is fine with it.I do not keep it on the window so that I do not get burns, it grows with me, everything is in order. Began to leave a little water the same, he began to work faster. And then everything, too, climbed to him .. He often exfoliated with me, now it does not, less often it is more dense and white, and before it somehow darkened quickly, I don't know why

and they also promised me a kombucha soon, I love this drink so much, I read you and I read and so soon I want to have my own

I have been looking for kombucha for 2 years

Natasha, Mowgli, thank you very much!
I'll see what happens next. Maybe my fungus will wake up too.

A whitish film began to appear on the surface of the tea, which began to acquire a gelatinous structure.

Marina, that's how a new mushroom has grown.
I bought a mushroom, it floated for a long time in the bottom of the can, rarely floating up, the instructions said that this is the norm, it gets used to it.
When preparing a new solution, I always added part of the old one, it is also recommended according to the instructions so that the mushroom is not stressed.
And then suddenly this gelatinous film appeared, the first time I splashed it out by accident, then I examined it and carefully left it, it began to thicken and grew to a normal mushroom, the diameter was already larger than the first mushroom, which floated on the second or third day and stuck this a new film, grew it, the upper layers turned white and later the first mushroom separated from the new one.
So everything is fine and a new one will grow up.

marina-mm, thanks! Hooray! It turns out that my mushroom has already grown 2 layers. I will leave part of the solution to him.

[Cricket]

Cricket, Marina, success in the "mushroom" business! When the mushroom adapts to new conditions, it grows rapidly.
Everything will work out!

Girls, from personal experience I can advise - in case of poisoning, you need to drink a couple of glasses, preferably a well-infused mushroom. After two hours, the pains in the stomach disappear. Maybe someone will find my experience useful.

Thank you, let's keep in mind

I got a kombucha, already of this size and in this form, it seems to me everything is fine with him, and you?
or is it some kind of muddy? it should be? in my opinion not, although the mushroom itself looks healthy

[DaNiSa]

DaNiSa, for phot everything is fine!

Congratulations!
Take care of him, let the beard grow. He also needs to get used to the new conditions.

[Lily]

Lily, Tatyana, Thank you! today it needs to be poured and look what has grown, what is this? beard? Or did he decide to share?

[DaNiSa]

DaNiSa, Alena began to form a beard!

[Kokoschka]

Kokoschka, Lilya, thank you, calmed me down! well, it means he is comfortable with us ..

[DaNiSa]

DaNiSa, from the photo the view is very good!

A good clean mushroom Above, a white film grows, below it overgrows with rags

[Admin]

thanks girls!
I was at my brother's today, and they were also given a kombucha, well, I immediately put my nose in there, and he already gives vinegar to his eyes, it turns out that they did not explain to her correctly how to take care of him - they said only 4 tbsp. l. add sugar to 2 liters of tea! I quickly enlightened her as it should, showed our mushroom, she was surprised that it grew so much, almost 2 times compared to their mushroom, and how many times tastier
Admin, Tan, thanks for such a useful Temko!
My relatives are asking me now, after how long can I start to divide it?

[Alyona]

My relatives are asking me now, after how long can I start to divide it?

Alyona, good health to you and your family!

And the mushroom itself will show when it is cramped in the bank, it becomes too thick, many layers will appear on it, and the layers themselves will begin to divide, ask for separation. You take a wash in your hands, and it disintegrates.
It is normal for the strength of the mushroom to be no more than 2 cm and dense for 2 liters of water (this is a 3-liter jar) - more, it already begins to eat sugar at an accelerated rate, the drink will be sour.

[Tanya]

Tanya, it turns out you can just share it with your fingers, so to speak, wash it and separate it with your fingers? on one he remains with a beard, while the other is "naked", as it were? I've never done this, I'm afraid of damaging the mushroom

Yes, you can take it with your hands - but not often! And how to take it out of the jar, and how to take care of it then?
I take it out of the can with my hands and put it in a plate, and while my can from his "kaki" is at the bottom, then I pour in new fresh tea, and then I transplant it into a fresh drink in a clean can
At this time, you can start breeding it, wash it, clean it, and so on ...
But I thoroughly clean the mushroom about once a month or two, and in between I can just pour a new batch of tea. Everything will depend on the state of the mushroom and the need to climb into it.

They infected me with a mushroom, tea, I'll go to Avito to look in my city!

[Alyona]

my relatives are asking me now, how long can it take to start sharing it?

Alyona, the mushroom can be grown without dividing it
if they are asking too much, pour the infused mushroom solution into a jar and leave it alone for a week. In a week you will see a thin film, this will be a new mushroom.
Pour a little sweet water with tea there, carefully, along the walls of the jar, so that he has something to eat, and he will grow

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, OlgaThanks for the tips!

Infected me with a mushroom, tea

so I got sick here too

Found in Togliatti, on Avito, the price is 50 rubles, at the same time they sell the Tibetan milk mushroom, also for 50 rubles. Is it worth taking it?

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, Lyudmila, I grew my own mushroom myself. The woman from whom I wanted to take the mushroom itself turned out to be still small, and she just poured me 0.5 liters of the drink itself. I covered it with gauze and put it on the refrigerator and it grew up with me.

Of course it is. And the price is good. Just make sure that the milk mushroom is healthy. Read this in the topic about a milk mushroom.
Good luck!

I had a mushroom in a three-liter ordinary jar. I decided to transplant it into the same three-liter one, but with a wide throat, so that it was more convenient to look after. Moreover, in the store I came across such a jar. I transplanted, and he stood upright. As far as I understand, this can will be a few millimeters narrower. How can I transplant it? Or now only if a new one is grown from scratch?

I put him in an old jar, and he sank to the bottom. I completely tortured him

[niamka]

niamka, but maybe the bank is not already. It happens that a mushroom can fall to the bottom and stand sideways. And then it will settle down as expected on the surface.

He did not turn over as it should during the night. Eh, should I put it back?

Girls, how do you fight gnats? Or is it just me this problem?

[niamka]

niamka, he can behave like this for several days. It happens to me and a fat man finds this

[Natalia-65]

Natalia-65, we have no midges. Only a layer of gauze is then needed more so that they do not have the opportunity to get inside.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, thanks, I'll put it back in a jar with a wide throat and wait for it to come up.
Natalia-65, Natalia, I cover it with eight layers of gauze and rubberize it with an elastic band, and put another 8 layers of gauze on top. They sit on top, but there is no longer a chance to get inside. There are a lot of mosquitoes, they fly to vegetables and fruits, because there are blanks. I still have vinegar wandering in the closet of 5 three-liter jars, also covered with gauze. The previous batch had to be thrown out because of these critters. They got inside and the worms appeared.

it usually pops up in a bubble, can you remove a small layer? and it will take root better?

Girls, how do you fight gnats? Or is it just me this problem?

Oh, this midge (fruit flies)
I cover the cans with a new elastic sock in two layers.There is a rubber band and there is no way for a midge to get through. Washes well. As soon as I have a hole, I put on a new one

Kombucha, when consumed regularly, normalizes blood sugar, tested on itself.
