First grow ready to scale up: precautionary measures?
#10996426 - 09/04/09 12:39 AM (15 years, 4 months ago) |

I inoculated 7 pint jars with B+ a couple months ago. Six jars colonized a couple weeks ago. One more jar is finishing.
I have 4 jars dunked and spawned 2:1 to pasteurized cpoo with a little verm and just a touch of coffee. Put into a foil tray in a shallow tupperware with 2 inches of perlite on the bottom. Was let to colonize then 'cased' with one more jar followed by peatmoss and verm. The casing laying is turning white but no knots yet. One corner did turn blue/green presumibly trich so I soaked it with a bleach solution and h202 and then cut it out and filled with verm.
Second tupperware same deal but I just puta couple 'wbs cakes' rolled in verm peatmoss and a tiny cpoo. Holes stuffed with polyfill on five sides on both tupperwares humidity is 92% and im fanning frequently with the odd mist.
One jar is spawned 1:1 to cpoo and 1/10 verm with a verm layer on top. In a closed container colonizing.
What should I do with the last jar to gaurentee I have at least a few mushrooms to collect spore prints from to start my next grow? Ill be starting headfirst with agar. I have a glovebox ive been using and ready to upgrade to tyvek coveralls and up to quart jars.

I woke up today to 3 tiny pins and one large one. Added more water to perlite for more humidity and gonna run a lot more light now.
This is on WBS 'cakes' im really glad i did them just to try so I dont expect much but i will dunk and maybe roll in manure then verm again.

Theyre only value is to create spores to be used to start (successful this time) LC's and more jars. I figure they need some nutrients. cpoo will just mold or take too long to recolonize or...?

Makes sense. Some additional reading verified that. Im just glad I have some fruit bodies to print. 7 pins last night. 12-13 today after i stuck them in the sun for a few hours.

doesnt matter what you have your myc growing on its the life cycle of the fungus, YES, hyphal knots b4 primordia then pins then fruitbody.

just dots on the myc like white chicken pox.

you can see the brighter tiny white specks. hyphal knots the ones that are brown/rust color are primordia.

its the life cycle of the mushroom,
1) spores -2) spore germination -3) fusion of compatable hyphae -4) hyphal knot -5) pinhead -6) primordium -7) small mushroom -8) mature fruitbody -back to 1) spores.
its full circle, you have to have one in order to get the other.
Pg.5 Figure 2. in The Mushroom Cultivator by Paul Stamets. (just so you know Im not talking out of my ass)

try to keep your substrate to spawn ratio low like 1:2 or 1:4. the more spawn the faster it colonizes the better the chance of not getting any contams. if you have 3 quarts of sub you should have at least 1 quart spawn. you have a pint. 4-5 1/2pint cakes would give you a quart of spawn. I have 18gal monos with 3"-4" sub depth and use around 12 quarts sub and 6 quarts spawn. 1:2 ratio. Ive used less and it takes longer to colonize and mold sets in b4 a second flush all the time.
I hope your tub is sealed up for gas exchange only and your not opening it to check on it you should have a view port cut out in your lid covered in clear plastic or plexi glass so you dont have to expose your uncolonized sub to freash air too early giving you a very uneven pinset and/or low yeild.
just a heads up incase you already havent done so.

I used straws to form a structor and then draped plastic wrap over/around for a lid.
yes, use many small pieces of myc in each transfer for faster colonization. I did that exact thing with the cakes in my milk jug.

you can see where I cut it away with a scalpel, it recovered for a second flush.

My tray of cpoo + verm + 2 pints followed by 1 pint spread on top then a verm/peat casing finally has one tiny tiny pin.
I hope they explode soon... I expected dozens to show up at once.
Should my casing layer be moist? The substrate is 100% wet but the casing layer is dry-dry-damp.

sounds good, next time try mixing your spawn with your sub then put the casing on, makes for a better flush due to the myc colonizing more of the sub getting more nutes.
a mist once in a while to give it a "glistening" look but no BIG drops or puddles will give your pins a nice drink.
If it looks dry.....mist, if you can visibly see moisture.....fan.
its a good rule of thumb
