ATL#7 Spawn
    #19137724 - 11/14/13 07:08 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've been doing a lot of research lately on the subject of truffles and I've seen that most people are using 1 cup of Rye for every jar of spawn.
My problem Is that I've been looking at the pictures of pre inoculated spawn jars then looking at my already inoculated spawn jars and I seem to have a lot less rye in my quart jars.
Will this decrease my yield of truffles or will it give more room for truffle growth?
Also how much rye do you guys usually use for truffle grows?

when using rye for a spawn you are going to have to do more than just measure out 1 cup of dry rye and put it in a jar

Well what I do is measure out a cup as I've seen in many teks
soak for 24 hours adding coffee & gypsum then simmer lightly
By that time the grains are fully soaked
I then dry them thoroughly
place back into the jars cover with foil then pc.

So how close am I to correct?

IME you don't need to leave room for the truffles, they will consume the grains and the water, shrinking the size of the spawn as they grow. I have limited experience with these but I find that I don't really need to leave a whole lot of room at the top as you can't really shake them, and when I shook them to break em up and get the truffles, it didn't really take much. The stones kinda crack the mycelium and move things around in there when they grow, doing some of the work for you. The mycelium is also nowhere near as thick as cube mycelium is.

Thanks for the help But do you know exactly how much dry rye grain you poured into each jar before the soak?

Soak them first, then fill the jars 2/3 to 3/4 of the way.

Leave room to shake them.
