Nice hopefully it works out :thumbup:

That seems like a lot of spawn and not much substrate though... am I just confused?

Did you pasteurize the whole thing all together?

Its not a very low spawn high substrate ratio maybe 1:1, I pasteurized it all together (Excluding spawn.)

The oyster is ripping through my shoebox, top is covered already and sides should be done soon. Started a sep experiment with coffee grinds only...

Any good advice on initiating pinning?

It should pin just fine without your help, as long as it's got some humidity :smile:

Can we get some pics of the shoebox?  You just put the substrate in a cardboard shoebox?
This sounds very noob friendly.  What steps did you take to pasteurize the mix and grow the spawn?

I Have an oyster LC syringe I am wanting to use. I have hardwood fuel pellets, verm, coir, gypsum, bran, just trying to figure out a simple method.  I Have spawn bags and jars but I Don't think I want to start with either of these.  Jar cakes will take all my Liquid culture for a low yield fruit.  bags I am worrying about contaminating them since I don't have a way to seal them or flow hood.  I am probably missing the simple solution to generate a lot of spawn with only 10cc of liquid culture

I'll post pics if I get pins xD
Spawn came from a 2 Lb Rye Bag
I just pasteurized the mixture between 140-160 for an hr

It is now set up with a fan and polyfill holes on a top shoebox

generating a lot of spawn is easy once you start working with grains. One syringe will inoculate more than ten grain jars. Each grain jar can inoculate ten more grain jars. and the cycle can continue a few times, generating literal tons of spawn.

to preserve the culture for a long time put a drop on agar and watch the mycelium grow out.

Also i would recommend the pf style cakes because it only take a couple drops per each inoculation hole. Likely after 10 jars you will still have LC left in your syringe.

First thing I do with a culture that I want to work with is to inoculate a very small grain jar (like 1\4 full) to test it out.  If it survives the shake and everything looks good I will use that to inoculate 2 masters via G2G and expand it out there after.  Or you could make a GLC from it to inoculate many more jars.  Often I do both with same jar :tongue:

For oysters you cant beat pasteurized straw for ease of use and good results.  Straight pasteurized hardwood pellets would also work, but sterilized pellets with supplemented bran (in filter patch bag) would be better -  but doesn't sound like you want to go that route.
