First oyster grow no mycelium growth little white flecks
    #21813107 - 06/16/15 12:15 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi guys I'm attempting my first grow of Blue Oyster. I decided to try cracked corn first as the substrate for LCing because of the low cost after reading a Cracked Corn Preparation sticky thread on here.

Well, I checked the moisture content of my quart jars before PCing and they came in at 61% using a digital scale - this is (wet weight of CC)/(wet weight + dry weight of CC). After PCing the total weight of each jar was 2lb or so, which means my 1/2lb of dry CC in each jar became 1lb of wet CC (so 50% moisture content) since the quart jar empty weighs just about 1lb. I used poly-fill filters and set them in a 70-75F room with a 12hr on/12hr off light schedule. I inoculated using a LC that had been sitting in a fridge for a few weeks in a glovebox I built.

However, it's been over a week now and I just see nothing going on in any of my 7 quart jars. No obv contams, no sweet smell, nothing. Just these little whitish flecks on some of the kernels at the very top like in the pic. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Can the LC just be this terrible or leaving it in the fridge so long hurt it? Or is this what it looks like when the substrate was fungicide treated maybe?

Did you test the LC on anything first? :mad:

No, didn't have anything. I do have a petri shaped plastic dish, hmm yeah I guess I should prepare some agar and squirt my last cc in there to check the LC before I make a batch of jars...

How long should a viable LC take to make some visible mycelium in agar?
