Second guessing something i did when spawning to a tray
    #19109404 - 11/09/13 08:07 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So, I was spawning to a tray the other day, i mixed in 2 quarts to the spawn, then added a layer of spawn to the very top. I did kind of shift them around, but they arent mixed into the substrate, rather just a bunch of exposed grains on the top. Is this ok? or should i add a thin layer of substrate to cover the grains?

Putting a layer of substrate on top is an outdated practice I believe. People used to do it and with high levels of success, but I'm pretty sure it's been proven to be unnessecary. Talking out my ass I would say the colonized grains are like to colonized pf cakes in the fact the mycellium has a strong foothold there and contams aren't able to gain a foothold there. Then, assuming your grain spawn WAS clean, its just a race to get the sub colonized because the risk is contams starting up in the bulk substrate. So creating a layer of just plain substrate without an even mix of colonized grains would increase the colonization time of that top layer and therefore the chance of contams growing there. I think.
