PLEASE HELP! (solved)
    #19502436 - 01/31/14 05:41 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

Hello everyone, so lately i have been attempting to grow mushrooms. (the website sent me 2 10mg syringes, golden teacher and ...great white monster?..) I've never tried mushrooms before and the first ones i want to try will be my own. my first attempt was PF tek with 6 jars, all around 1/2 pint but not the best ones i would've gotten. anyways all the jars either were contaminated or some didn't even try to grow. this time i used 12 kerr wide mouth jars, had a better sterilization attempt (1.5hrs in large pot boiling) and yes i know pressure cooker is better, i just don't want one yet since i don't exactly know what I'm investing in yet. also had vermiculite/BRF/water measurements correct again. i made an incubator with an aquarium heater set at 82 degrees like last time, it's been a week and there has been no sign of any growth from any jars. I'm getting very doubtful of succeeding in growing. another factor would be i ordered my spores from spores101.com which I've recently read is no longer a sponsor and has bad reviews. excuse me for the long post, but i would greatly appreciate any adjustments to:
-growing method, better/less contam risk?
-spore website that has more reliable syringes?
any other tips would be appreciated. thanks!:thumbup:

A terrible sense of dread and doom filled me -- I knew what was happening, I knew I couldn't stop it, but it was so devastating; I was being destroyed -- all that was familiar, all reference points, all identity -- all viciously shattered in a few seconds. I couldn't even mourn the loss -- there was no one left to do the mourning. Up, up, out, out, eyes closed, I am at the speed of light, expanding, expanding, expanding, faster and faster until I have become so large that I no longer exist -- my speed is so great that everything has come to a stop -- here I gaze upon the entire universe."

get your spores from a sponsor here! and once you succeed take your own prints and you won't need to order!

I've had jars take up to 14 days to show any sign of growth, even a month once or twice. Have faith and wait.

82f is a bit on the warm side. I shoot for 75-80f, and some people colonize at cooler temperatures than that.

A PC and making a simple 'still air box' will help you out a great deal avoiding contamination, too.

Any of the sponsors should be reliable :wink:

They have a pretty bad reputation it seems. As newera said, get them from a shroomery sponsor. Also FYI, do not mention the vendor name in any post about growing as they sell them for microscopy use only :wink:


What method are you using to sterilize? A pressure cooker or a pot with a lid?

Also when I used to do the pf tek I would put a large family size can on top of the lid(or something heavy that wont fall off) for extra pressure
