First time grower. Sterilization?
    #22189271 - 09/04/15 05:58 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hey everyone I've been checking out this website for a little while now reading posts and checking out videos on how to cultivate my own mushrooms. I've decided to take the plunge and give it a try but I've been pretty worried about contams resulting from lack of experience and poor sterilization. I was hoping some of you may be able to answer some of my questions and give me tips on how to prevent this from happening.

Just a bit of info. I'm going to be using the pf tek in a SGFC. I plan on making the cakes in my kitchen and sterilizing them in a pot. I understand using a still air box is also a good idea so ill be getting one of those as well. So my questions are

1. Is making my cakes in the kitchen going to pose any potential problems?

2. How should I clean my supplies (bowls, jars, spoons, ect.) before I start making the actual cakes?

3. Are my pets going to increase risk of contams ruining my cakes?

4. Where should I place the already sterilized cakes while I make the rest? I plan on doing about 20

Thanks for checking out the post.

You don't have to worry about contamination when mixing and making the cakes obviously you don't want to be dirty about it but you don't have to make them in a stillair box. I do it in my open air kitchen on the counter I wipe down as for tools your normal way of cleaning dishes will be good enough. Your pets shouldn't pose a problem I have three dogs running around all the time. The sterilization and keeping them clean is only important after you steam them. So once your cakes are made up and wrapped in tinfoil you can steam them and when there done let them cool and as long as you keep the foil on they'll be fine just sitting on the counter untill the rest are ready. The still air box is for inoculation which would be your next step.

Alright then, picture this if you will:
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51.
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!

No worry about pets.  Your cakes will colonize in jars while your making more jars/cakes.  Kitchen isn't a bad lab.  If your in for the long haul make a flow hood.  Don't worry about sterilizing pre pressure cooked mix and mixing gear.  Just put the jars hat your making cakes with in a place that is warm enough to colonize, not too hot.

Hope this helps

You can make your camps at the town dump if you want to, the contents will be sterilized anyways so cleanliness during their creating is a non point.

I suggest inoculating in a still air box to increase your chances of success, as it pertains to contamination.
