whats wrong?
    #11006788 - 09/05/09 10:53 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

So this is my first time growing mushrooms and i fallowed directions but something went wrong. After i sterilized the jar and let it cool over night, i inoculated them the next morning, and waited 2 weeks. and there is no sign of mycelium growth at all! the only thing that changed was where i inoculated there was yellow stain like piss. on the substrate.

what the yellow stain? and what went wrong? :sad::confused:

Did you flame sterilize you're needle after you knocked up each jar?
Give it a little more time.

ya and it could give mold/bacteria the upper hand

an easy way to remember the mixture is
1 part water / 1 part BRF ./ 3 part verm
using a 1/2 pint this makes like 5/6 jars ... It's better to be on the dry side than the wet side because of contams
