Contaminant are my worst ennemy. I'Ve read several hour on shroom cultivation, but never found the best and costless sterile technique to kill these F"!*&?%$ bacteria. I try to grow shroom from last summer to now without sucess. What can I do?

You need to provide more details. What process are you using? What exactly is the problem that you are having?

Dog is correct , we need a little more info to "try" to help . There are so many variables when it comes to contams . At which stage of the game are you get the ickies ? But ask yourself one important question ............... Have I truly taken all measures with in my abilities to keep lab clean ? Good Luck

I use the BRF & verm. subtrat. For sterilisation, I use an old Presto , let the jars in for about an hour. When it cool down, I inoculate them with this tek: 3 holes in lid with aluminium foil over it, them with my syringe inoculate them by the 3 holes. I can see mycelium growing about 5 to 6 day after. The problem that I always have, is that after 2 weeks , green mold are showing up and take control over mycelium. How can I avoid that?

When you fill your jars. do you wipe down the last 1/2 inch of the jar lid ( the thread part. ) then fill the jar with dry verm.
Then PC in the presto, and inject, wipe down your needle between each injection with alc, or flame. keep trying. you will get it.

If you are PC'ing your jars for an hour at 15 PSI then we can rule out substrate contamination. Therefore the contamination is occuring either during inoculation or incubation.
After inoculation do you seal your jars? My friend recommends taping the needle holes and leaving the jar sealed until 50%-60% colonization.
Do you make your own syringes?

Clean the area you store them in real good , use some lysol or pinesol cleaner and wipe down all surfaces . Then do you have those holes in the lids sealed up real good ? Then each and every time you go to touch those jars , make sure you clean your hands real good with antibac soap , do not forget to scrub under finger nails . Are you sure you are achieving right temp and pressure in the cooker , this could also be why you get "delayed" contams . If you did not kill any and all nasties in yoor mix , they can come to life down the road when conditions are just right for them . Maybe you could add 15 mins to cook time . You could also try wearing a mask when you handle your jars . Rule of thumb ................."CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO MUSHINESS !" Good Luck "May The Mushroom Goddess Bless All Your Endeavors !"

Haven't you seen the lysol commercials. No matter how many bottles of pinesol you use, it won't get as clean as lysol because pinesol doesn't disinfect.

My bottle says it "disinfects" , personally I use a product called "dispatch" , is a hospital grade disinfectant , the shit will kill just about anything , even spores . But for the average Joe .....either, ither, or will do the trick . Use whatever you can , but try to provide the cleanest enviro possible , your mushies will love you for it !

Utilise tous les precautions possibles.
Essuie l'eguille entre chaque injections avec de l'alcool, encore mieux, utilise une flamme et chauffe l'eguille,
lave tes mains avant de toucher tes pots.
Esque tu as un incubateur? mon francais n'est pas trop bon, mais je peux t'aider un peu si tu veux.
