Can I have a WBS do-over?

First time preparing WBS. Last night I rinsed about 10 cups several times over until water was clear and picked out all the undesirables (SF seeds, corn, etc) Left to soak in the stock pot. Tonight (~20 hrs later) I simmered on the stove for 10 minutes and then strained when I noticed:
-water wasn't as clear as thought. In fact it was pretty cloudy. -There was a hell of a lot more extras in the pot than I thought. I shook and folded the seed over a few times and saw what is probably way too many black sunflower seeds and pieces of corn.
No way I pick everything out tonight, jar up, sterilize and be ready to inoc tomorrow morning. This throws my whole schedule off. So my question is: Can I let this batch of WBS dry out tonight, store it an airtight container and start the whole process over in a couple of days? Thanks in advance.

Hell, you can let it soak the whole time if you want. Picking out all the sunflower seeds isn't necessary.

Thank God!! I know this process is not for the impatient, but I swore I picked stuff out for an hour last night and it all reappeared overnight. What about the corn?

Im not certain but I'd say it doesn't matter either man. I mean, there are novelty grows where folks have grown shrooms on bras, bibles, money,etc.

You simmered a bunch of tiny starchballs in a pot of boiling water and you're suprised it's cloudy? That's normal, as it is to have some or all of the sunflour seeds and floaters. Many don't even bother removing them, I would guess most aren't thorough about it.
Go ahead and use it. Besides, the best thing you can do if you want to "store it for later use" is to pressure cook it and kill the microorganisms in it.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
