Thank's for the tip :wink: That Egyptian liquorice tea sounds awesome, I will look in to it and  buy some if its available in the uk :mushroom2:
 
I have not had any problems with my stomach (yet) after digesting them whole so I guess im lucky.. or maybe its because im new to them?

I tried the chocolate shrooms and they are really good !
I could not taste the mushrooms at all and I used 2gram dry in each small chocolate bar, The only problem I see with chocolate is not being able to eat more after digesting the first lot :tongue:


Not much progress with my Monotub - I believe the yellowing has slightly faded. Its looking and smelling good - I will update with some pictures when i see my first few pins.
My next Monotub will be a Isolate from agar if all goes well. :rockon:

Or buy it online.  Beats driving around or calling a bunch of places with uninformed employees.

A lot of people recommend fasting before and during the bioassay.

I buy almost everything online :smile: It turns out cheaper a lot of the time. Everything is so expensive in the UK. I Purchased 12 Half Pint Wide Mouth Mason Jars from America and got them imported to the UK - Turned out cheaper than it would have been to buy them strait from a UK Shop.

I fear the bucket is going to contaminate or already has :x
Its been three weeks since adding the Rye to the substrate but its been way to long ? It Smells good and i cant see any clear signs of contamination.
Can anyone please advise on what I should do ? 
I will update with photos tomorrow.

The buckets lid is on loosely (not clipped down) To allow some gas exchange.
If the bucket gets / is contaminated will I be able to clean the bucket and use it again for the pasteurisation ?

Yes but do it outside.  Put on old clothes, pour in bleach, add some water, swish around and make sure the bleach solution comes into contact with all parts of the bucket inside and outside.

Rinse with water and then add disinfectant soap and scrub well, rinse well.

Make sure and change your clothes as soon as you get inside.  Wash ASAP with disinfectant soap or at least put them into a plastic bag to minimize the spread of contams.

More Pins! :thumbup:
Will Post photos when its all go -

I have just prepared my agar and added the syringe solution to my Petri dishes. Seemed to go pretty well, I had to shake / swirl the jar after the 30 mins pressure cooking to mix it up, is this normal ? The agar did not want to mix together with the initial heating up and mixing before pressure cooking..
How long approx do you think it will be until i can isolate a sector ?
My Petri dishes have lots of condensation and I cant see through them..

20 inch mushrooms here I come :laugh::smirk:

Thank you Micofun :smile: - Ok I'll Post pics before harvest :smile:
Hopefully I can harvest most of them at the same time.


Can't Believe how many pins there are considering its a syringe ( Random Genetics ) and coco coir / vermiculite mix.. Very Simple and cost effective :cool:

Yeah it's a common genetic trait amongst cubes, I've seen the same thing from my mexi-cub.

Thank You Mad Season! I would give you 5 :mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2: but need 50 posts :tongue:.. You have been very helpful Thanks for your advice with agar.

I'll get some clones :wink:
I have used this B+ Syringe on agar and hopefully it will be okay.
My plan is to try isolate the mycelium or at very least contaminant free then use in rye. I will do Two tubs next time of similar size to this one.

Its Tempting to do MORE TUBS But my pressure cooker only fits Two Quart Jars at a time plus my colonisation room is not big enough :tongue:

Very well done on that grow, those babies look amazing. I'm also working towards my 50 posts so i can trade. I will be starting a log of a few strains that i'm starting on agar and then isolating. Hopefully that gets me closer to being able to trade :smile:

nice crop!!!!!
it is my understanding that clones come from a growing mushroom.you choose what you consider the "perfect" specimen and cut a piece from inside the bottom of the stem and place on agar.this is MUCH quicker and cleaner than isolating a MS spore drop.
perhaps a TC could give better info as the search box turned up no clear link that i could add.
