Thank you Violet! I love your teks and I share your love for the P. Galindoi. I am growing some fruits from the grains left cleaning a jar of stones. It didn't feel right just to harvest the stones without giving the mycelium the option to fruit... These mushrooms are so cute and tiny!

Violet - "Don't forget the other stones too! That's right, underneath the casing layer there are new truffles that form and grow much more quickly when in fruiting conditions than invitro. Any sclerotia left in the grain when laying it out in the tub will have grown larger as well."
Have you noticed a difference in potency in these sclerotia formed in fruiting conditions?

So I don't have the resources right now to buy a pressure cooker big enough to sterilize more than one quart jar at a time. Could I do this in pint jars? Or am I better to just take the time to do one quart at a time (in the instant pot I already have) and is it okay to be on its side? I could fit 3 quarts at a time but only if I didn't use the spacer underneath which I assume is a no-no.
Thank you Violet for the work that you have done here!

You can absolutely do pint jars. Any size that you like

Hi, im having trouble getting P. Tampanensis to take to BRF. I started some spores on agar and transferred wedges to a jar. It grew a little bit out from the wedges but hasn't had any growth since like last month. Should i just try again with grain?

Hi, I was wondering if this looks like mold to any of you?

The black dots started forming shortly after it was around 80-90% colonized, I'm not sure if it's just spots where the mycelium couldn't connect and ended up dying off? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

If I put a piece of the sclerotia/magic truffles on an agar plate (in a sterile way), is it supposed to produce mycelium just like if you do it with mushrooms? I am trying to replicate magic truffles that I bought from an online shop, maybe it is not the optimal way but I can't find any place that sells liquid culture or spore syringes for magic truffles and especially not for that strain.

Yeah that would work. Do it in a still air box. Also rip the stone in half and take a small sample from the interior. The outside of the stone has been exposed to all the mold and bacteria in the air but the inside should give you a much better chance at getting clean growth.

Sclerotia growth questions.
I inoculated these 4 jars (different sides in each pic) with Mexicana and Tampanensis about 9 months ago. 24oz and 32oz rye grain jars. I let them sit for a lot longer than I imagined but life happens. They've been in a relatively cool spot and complete darkness the entire time. I'm not really sure what's going on with them- this cloudy white substance has grown in the jars which didn't start happening for 3-5 months or so I think, and I can't tell if that's mold, mycelium or what. I feel like if it were mold or something it would have completely overtaken the jars long ago. Not sure why there's so much loose grain at the tops of the jars after all this time. Do they look good to harvest or no?
Also, if I want to harvest them and keep most of it long term, what would be the best method? I have different vacuum-sealing methods if that's best.
