Jar of Unknown White/Grain already spore injected
    #14716386 - 07/04/11 03:46 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

So i hypothetically have this jar that a friend left at my house. It has four holes on the cap, all covered by tape. In the jar is what looks like grainy sand with moist white substances in it, and its growing. What would this be called and if i wanted to cultivate it what would be the next couple of steps ?

pweeeze helppp

It's gotta be toxic and doesn't sound safe to me at all. Could be a bomb man...I'd throw it out right now.

Sounds like a PF tek jar with mycelium already growing.

Next couple steps would be let it sit at about room temperature until it is fully colonized and read up on the PF Tek ands maybe a SGFC (Shotgun Fruiting Chamber)

Yes you are waiting for it all to be white. (fully colonized) Leaving it in darkness or exposed both work, although more people are going with exposed these days, since light during colonization for cubes has been found slightly beneficial.

Wow, thanks this is all really helpful! I'm reading PF-Tek for Simple Minds but it doesn't thoroughly explain how it is supposed to look like in the incubation process. I see some yellow/clearish liquid between the cake and glass theres an air gap, is all this normal?

also theres one yellow spot, it looks like thick yellow/tan goo, but its very small

Sounds contaminated.  Probably should throw it out.  If you could post a pic we could help you more.  Anything brown is bad though.

the liquid between the glass is the natural waste of the mycelium. The other yellow spot is probably a contam, you can try to fruit it and it may work as long as the mushroom is strong enough to take it over. With the jar being old(right?) the chance of this is lower

If it is contaminated dont give up because these cakes are cheap and easy to make. Check out shea25's pf tek and you can do all of this for $20 depending on how thrifty you are. It only takes a month or two and you can be eating your own mushrooms!!!!:awecid:

Piggies are so bad at not making it look like something fishy is going on.
