Aborts? (How to esnure maximum growth)
    #22154225 - 08/27/15 10:41 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I have never had shrooms grow in clusters like this before. one cake has almost a hundred clustered together. I know not all of them are going to grow but I am worried that only a small amount will. Is there any type of special care I should give them aside from normal? Please advise :p

Nah man those all look pretty healthy :thumbup:

Since they are all concentrated at the bottom though I would find a way to get the cakes more out of the perlite.

Is that to avoid them growing into the perlite?

Yeah. It's a pain to clean off and perlite is volcanic glass so you don't want to be eating it.

On a completely different note. I'm incubating a bunch more jars and I put tape over the holes like normal but my friend told me it's better to put the foil under the band to prevent contamination. There's virtually no growth and I'm wondering if it's because they are starved for oxygen. I havnt had a problem up until now with incubation.

Use a dry verm layer. Everything else doesn't do shit. And having foil just increases condensation. It'll pool between the lid and foil, and drip through the inoc holes ruining your dry verm layer. Contaminating it. Foil is the worse thing to do.

Besides for spore germination you don't need GE. GE is for mycelium. Spores aren't mycelium.

Foil is the worst thing to do? Where did that come from?

Edit: Thought you meant while steaming the jars, my bad.

Only use aluminum foil on the top of the jars when you PC.  This is to prevent moisture from getting in your jars.

Remove the foil when you inoculate and keep it off.  There is a small amount of air in the jars but they'll need more gas exchange as the myc colonizes.

Well the foil was also so I could label what strain they are. I suppose ill have to do that a different way. Won't not having foil on top during incubation increase the chances of contamination?

Piece of masking tape on the lid is what I do but you can write on the jars with a sharpie and it wipes right off with alcohol.

I use medical tape...is that enough? Because the incubation tubs are very humid too. Also..if the current jars have been starved for a week and a half with minimal growth...Will my fixing them now work or are they probably done for. Thank you all for the advice btw....it's really helpful right now

Yeah if that doesn't do the trick then nail polish remover will.

You don't need an incubation tub unless you wear a jacket in your house. If you're comfy so are your jars.

Do you have the foil under the bands or on top? Can we get pics? Either way I would try and remove it. If it's under then cross your fingers opening it and hope the dry verm layer does its job.

I already put the foil back on top loosely and they all have medical tape over the holes
