I mean the spray bottle I keep plain water in. Store bought spring water. I usually mist my SAB with it.
I normally do use soapy water as well the first time, then spray every few transfers. It very well may have been sloppy work, but I am not sure. I felt like I was relatively clean.

The kids helped me get some Kings spawned.
These are in some small turkey bags so they can watch them colonize.

And a mayo bucket half full that they filled together.

Another shot of the same bucket with a bonus skylander toy.

My bucket succumbed to trich. Both my bags smell awful sweet and haven't colonized much in the last week or so. I'm about to toss them.
I worked a bit with Phoenix Oysters last year. I couldn't get them to fruit for shit but the myc was way more aggressive than King Oysters. While the Kings did like the mulch, they didn't seem able to compete in an unpasteurized environment. It's also been pretty warm here which I'm sure didn't help.
I have another bucket going on coir. The Kings tore through it and are currently consolidating. I'm going to case it here in a week or so and try to fruit it.
As for my mulch, I'm going to see if I can get ahold of a more aggressive oyster variety. Try fruiting them this fall on my back porch.

Yeah, was the King Oysters.
I think the phoenix would love the mulch.
*edit* Unfortunately I wrecked my phoenix culture. Once I have some money I think I'm going to grab a four pack of edibles from sporeworks and give the mulch another try.

I squirted one single drop of a culture syringe of both phoenix and pearl oyster in master jars and transferred a bit to fresh agar just in case. But up until I read this post Id forgotten about the syringes. Theyve been at RT upstairs and sometimes near 100F for extended periods (oops). I will update results of this stress test in upcoming weeks. Thanks for the reminder.

nice munch. how often are you watering? i bet keeping it in that closet keeps the rh a little higher than i had going on mine. i just put mine on the table. i would have to water 3 times daily at minimum. this also works with newspaper.
i have that same bernzo torch

just a single mist spritz whenever I go in the room, so maybe twice a day? I also have a warm mist humidifier which helps a ton. I'm not gonna keep this setup going long, as I don't want to ruin my closet... so I might make a martha to do edibles in another room. I also need the oysters out of that space for whenever I am taking spore prints... Can't be takin prints with oysters pumpin out spores just 3' from them with just the SAB separating them...
but this was my first succesful endeavor into edibles, and its very encouraging! I went thru an entire bag of Scott's to get here. I put my LC on agar and am going to make up some new spawn this weekend. I also want to take a backpack full of oyster spawn to a couple local parks...

you could use some staples or tape to throw up some 5ml painters plastic and line the inside of the closet.
yeah that sounds great with the spawn at a local park. find some dead wood laying around. ive found some nice oysters on dead wood during leisurely walks in the woods.
for prints, i use a closed off storage shelf. that has doors that shut. in addition to the closed sterilites i use. so i am able to print side by side with the grow room. but, that is my setup. you may not have the space or equipment for that. but its definitely something worth investing in. even if its a small shelf that seals tight. this allows you to separate spaces.
yeah thats nice with the humidifier setup.
it might even be worth it to colonize a few bags of the mulch and toss the mulch around.

Don't waste your time doing that. The mulch isn't sterile so sterilizing the bag won't do anything. Sterility is not required for this tek.
