Whatever you do don't let any of your reishi grains sit around! I waited a week for some more spawn bags to come in and the grains formed a leathery pouch that started growing these fat, round, reishi mushrooms. I still used it as spawn, hopefully it'll switch back to colonization mode and I didn't just waste 5 pounds of birdseed. Haha.

Interesting! I've only pasteurized them with boiling water in the bag, suffice to say I was rather new at this when I did that last and it didn't turn out well for whatever reason 
Can't wait to see how it goes

It might just be the way this light is hitting it, but the 2 on the right look fucked, just like the one in the bottom left corner.
None of them look like ideal growth tho....

yea that's kind of what I thought with my last update idk what's up with the way they look.

I have a question,
Is it best to get glass petri dishes (pressure cooking)? What size? And can you have good success with a properly build SAB?
glass is expensive, disposable are easier to work with, I have glass ones and I prefer to buy these disposable ones now anyway. And yes you can have 99% success with a good SAB and good sterile technique.

in this post the first image the bottom right, middle left, and top right are the same as the two dishes on the far right and bottom left of the latest image I posted.

So in the first image 0x x0 0x
correspond to
oox xox
where x are the questionable dishes.

But glass are reusable right with a pressure cookers so they can be worth it?
The wrap around the petri dishes is called parafilm right?
It "can" be worth it but it's not worth it to me. I would never get glass dishes if I had to start from scratch again
and yes parafilm but I use saran wrap.

nice work all.
so like everyone, i'm a dummy sometimes. i realized too late that many of my plates were made half strength, 500ml:5g:5g water:agar:malt. the myc on those are growing out super fuzzy and shabby looking. does this ruin them for inoculation, or will they be fine once they get put to grain?
i have learned the lesson well. always consult the cookbook.
also, i'm beginning a PC run right now, with three jars of rice and seven jars of CVG. the lids on the sub jars are upside down without holes, as though i was retarded and trying to pressure can them. does anyone see anything wrong with this? the idea is they won't seal but will also not contaminate. there's foil on them too.

Figured I'd share, here are some straw logs inoculated with rye berry spawn, pearl oyster "Wellington" strain. One 6 quart bag to each log.
These definitely look nicer than my first attempt with straw...except for the little one, I ran out of straw

i think ur ok. are u using them right away? I'm almost positive pasty sterilizes his CVG with unmodified lids. not sure if he turns them upside down tho...
weird they (ur half strength plates) r growing fuzzy, all my agar that is less nutritious grows thick, but i've never cut it down that much. are u trying to isolate or just doing limited genetic kinda thing for the grains?
bodhi, the two plates on the right, top and bottom (in the 2nd pic), look weird around the growth. i have a messed up PR plate kinda looking like that from a pin covered in bacteria, i will post when i wake up. hopefully its not bacteria, just had two monos fucked by bacteria being spewed out by my cool mist. culture was clean but my lazy ass didn't change the filter the fruits are soooo zombified, its like they were committing suicide by tearing themselves apart at the stem.
also gotta post my newest KSSS plates!

ooooo zombie fruit. i'ma write a short story.
i was planning on nocing the jars tonight, the sub was for when those jars were ready to spawn. but, yeah, i think i gotta do another set of transfers, can't believe i screwed the pooch on the agar. i believe many cultures on the dilute agar are isolations, but i can't tell for sure cause they just look like flat cotton balls.

So I know this would be off topic in cultivation but I'll leave it here
I've been experimenting with these no petri petris trying to grow some different species.
I know we're all about mycology here but, I tried growing homosapien but it pinned in vitro on my dish and grew outwards apically and terminated where it began to sporulate consciousness.

Here's the pinning on the agar. I couldn't get the whole specimen in view but it started out with a branched hand shape growth

It was the leftover in the bottom of the nonstick pan I heated my agar mix in.

Fuckwit newb mistake. Everyone knows you got to start with the brain when doing a Homo grow.

Better luck next time.
