Yeah is the same - "deer" "field" "hog" corn all the same...and I guess I should have said this before but the craked corn guy is probably right if you want most inoculation points and available nutrition. You do have to crack that hull at the least, but I believe you would be best off just buying cracked corn. I suggest that slime coat is oil rising and that's just extra food to them.
Can't you add sterilised corn meal mixed with a little corn or peanut oil to your straw before inoculating? I have heard that but have not gotten around to trying it yet, but either way corn they dig...

Pussycontrol: I think you need to rinse the corn better, like a few times, and as hippie said reduce the cooking time.
Good luck

Try garage sales - if the seal is in good shape.
You can buy them online all over - but $100

Whats with all you vendors and "pros"?
Come in here to hate on my tek!
Please just stay the fuck out if you dont have anything positive to contribute.
Hippie.. I kept my mouth shut before with your negative comments, but now you are being a jackass. I keep to myself and try to help out..
If 7 days isnt impressive for cracked corn, it isnt impressive for popcorn.
Are you jealous becuase this tek has comparable results to your popcorn tek? Honestly whats your deal?
Kafka I am impressed with your results, especially for the first time.
Well done!

Much kudos and thanks Effed :-)
I loaded up a couple spawn bags this past weekend, 2 WBS and 1 CC, the WBS I soaked 24hrs, and the one CC, simmered - I think the only real change was I boiled 2 cups of CC in 10-15 quarts of water, which helped serverly cut back on starch and slime... plan to innoculate with some edibles before the summer is up..
(oh, that one foaf - his second jar - it was just slow - its up to about 10%, just a slacker).

why 1/2 pints ?
are you wanting to fruit it as a cake .
if so, i recommend using pf tec, and replace brf with corn flour .
for spawning, however i don't think just steaming would do it .
but, if you don't have a pressure cooker, you can use a combination of microwave and steamer, or fractional strerilzation .
paid's micro-steam tec
fractional sterilization

I agree very valid point, but I do have to defend the newbs ya know. 
As I AM a newbie too!
Id say simmer them and steaming is worth a try..
Experimentation is "where its @".
Which is also what this post is about.
I bought CC thinking "WOW thats cheap, I bet it would work".
If you have an idea, go for it!
There is always more to learn and new ground to break with mycology.

i ask about the 1/2 pints because they are smaller and i prefer working with smaller batch sizes, plus its all i have. i see it as if you have 3 contams going into your jars would you rather have 3 1 qt jars, or 6 1/2qt jars? any other sugestions on how to prevent water loss while steaming?>

The picture is 3 inch deep substrate, cased with a 1/2 - 3/4 inch casing layer.
zippoz: Go ahead and try the 1/2 pints. It will be cool to see how they turn out. I have birthed 1/2 pint CC cakes once and they did pretty well.
They took a while to fruit. I would case them.
