Sclerotia forming in unestablished jar
    #14475975 - 05/18/11 10:36 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I inoculated a couple jars with a Galindoi strain to form sclerotia on rye berries but two jars seemed to stall when they were almost fully colonized. I figured it was cause of lack of air or contamination or something but there aren't any visible signs of contamination and there's a small section in each jar that isn't fully colonized.

So I put the jars in a box and forgot about them until now and I found em and they have a bunch of sclerotia forming in them, there aren't any signs of mold or contamination that I know of. if I open it any it smells fine would ya think they're okay? What could cause this to happen?

I would just leave them alone an let them continue to grow. It's normal for them to grow in jars. Without pics we can't tell of any contaminates. But everything sounds Goood.

Probably some dry grains. Pics would help.

oh yeah I didnt even think about pics. I would say the jars are a little on the wet side rather than dry side.

I have then laying down sideways in this box, here's jar A:

and this is the side that's facing down


here's jar B:

and the underside.

Hmmmmm, I'm not a premier cultivator, but I would say perhaps you didn't allow for the exterior of some of your grain to dry completely before you stuffed them into the jars. Does this seem plausible? Do you recall the condition of your grain prior to loading the jars? Did you do the toilet paper trick? RR says to take a spoonful of grain and deposit them onto a piece of toilet paper for 15 seconds and then remove them. If the paper is wet, then your grains are too wet to be loaded. The paper should be completely devoid of any sign of moisture.

Thanks :smile:

Yeah they were dry enough, I just forgot to put tinfoil over the tops of the jars in the pressure cooker this time and extra water got in that way :frown: I hope they still turn out well though.

IMO the uncolonized grains look too wet not dry in the 1st pic, just leave the jars, they look fine you should get some nice truffles outta them!

How long has it been since you inoculated the jars?

Whats your filters made of/ hole size?

Be aware the old mycelium turns a weird brown yellow colour, looks like a contam but isn't really.

From multispore I been getting weights of 60g - 100g per jar leaving them for the full 5-6 months. Stupid strong potency on the ALT's 10-15 will put ya in the zone. :smile:20-30g for a full power force 5 hit.:thumbup:(not tried that much yet!)

Fractal.:super:

I inoculated em multispore early April I think ( I really should start labeling them haha) so around a month and a half ago.

Filter is just a hole punched in the top with a screwdriver and its ~1/3" just stuffed with poly-fill.

Yeah the myc piss is already building up, I just hope it's not too wet and weaken it to contams, although the extra water might be helping em grow bigger too :lol:

I hope I get yields like yours, that would be awesome.
