Grain Spawn
    #14181454 - 03/25/11 11:04 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I did a couple of wheat and corn gain spawn bags. But most turned out to be contaminated. Does anyone have a website whereby a step by step method is shown from preparation to cooking time?

Also, if the contamintaion is at the edge or bottom, is it ok to scoop out the good ones and transfer over to another bag?

Have a search for RogerRabbit's videos, he deals with most aspects of cultivation including sterile grain preparation.

-Grain soaked overnight, 1:100 bleach solution can be used
-Drip drain until no more water drips
-You can optionally simmer the grains to crack them (better exposure to heat)
-PC for 90 minutes
-Inoculate with sterile syringe

You only want a few holes in the lid for gas exchange.  It's very easy to dry out grain.

Just soaking and draining is old way of doing grain.  Much better ways are RR's tek and the like where the grain is rinsed, soaked for 4hrs+, hard boiled for 10-15 minutes, drained into strainers, tossed every 5min for 20min, then loaded into bags/jars for pc.  This way all of the moisture is kept inside the grain with outside moisture steaming off creating a more suitable mushroom environment.

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

That sounds really cool.  I just can't bring myself to go through all of that extra new stuff when just soaking and draining nets me over a pound of shiitake from 12c of home depot saw and generic bird seed.  I do appreciate the innovation though.  The process is a lot of fun for some people I guess.

The point is, if you soak your grains before you PC, you have significantly less contam.

1:100 parts of bleach to water to soak the grains overnight?
