I know pf jars really don't need a filter, but he insists. It's 3" x 3" sterile pads cut into quarters and taped on. We're planning on buying the lids made for this in a few weeks.




A little late but if he "insists" still, you should let him know that those being there increases the chance of contamination because there are already spores that have fallen through the holes, with or without the pads, but with the pads, you cause the dry verm layer to become moist, which can wick contams right down into the jar.

I hope that's not what ended up happening.  If it is, you'll find out real soon.

Don't let people who don't know what they're doing "insist" things about growing though, that gets dangerous fast.




The sterile pads were sterilized with the jars, that's what the little black dot is for, I put that there with a permanent marker so we could see where the hole was, so if any spores fell through before putting it on, then it was also before it was sterilized. Also, I felt them every few days and they stayed dry throughout the entire colonization cycle.They started recovering within 24hrs so I don't think they caused any problems, but like you said, we'll find out in a few days.

You didn't feel the (hopefully) dry verm layer though.

I'm just trying to save you some grief in the future.  :shrug:  Hopefully in the future you're doing grains and don't have to worry about it.

Lol, no I didn't feel the verm layer, just the filter on top because if it was moist then I know contams could grow on it. I actually have one wbs jar colonizing now (that I tyndallized because I don't have a pc yet) with no sign of contams so far. After a flush or two I'm going to invest in some better equipment. Btw the friend decided he didn't want to bother with it anymore and gave me all his jars and stuff. I think he thought it was gonna be a qet rich quick thing, but like I told him, you don't get rich growing mushies or you end up in jail.

It's not for everybody.  But usually you can tell pretty quick if it's gonna be your thing.  Funny that some people give up on it so quick though.  It only takes like 2-3 months to get good enough to grow mushrooms for pennies per dry ounce.  Might not make you rich(and discussion of such a notion is in fact disallowed here, for good reason) but it could make you real popular with your friends.

I enjoy it so far. I'm learning things I never imagined. I been reading about it for 4-5 months now and am on my third bulk attempt. The first 2 I left the straw way too wet with only a 1/4" hole for ge, so it contaminated with cobweb I believe. Wish I knew then what I know now, may have been able to save those with h2o2

I want to get into agar and grains, but I wanna go through the cycles a few times first and learn the process a little better.

Speaking of agar. Would I need a microscope to do isolations on agar? I walked down in the woods and the batches I threw out are growing mushies like crazy, obviously contaminated, but growing none the less. They were GT and they bruise with the slightest touch so I believe they have pretty potent dna. I would love to be able to clean them up and save the genetics.

No, you don't need a microscope, just good eyes, or a good camera.
