Hey guys, anyone know if the white flakes/scales on the caps of these pins mean that they’re too dry? I don’t have any beads of moisture on the surface but I haven’t been misting often because the coir looks super saturated in a lot of spots.

That's normal, mate. They will clear up as the mushrooms get bigger.

Yep, this is my best plate atm, the culture is a perfect circle but large parts of it a just like singular hyphae extending from the larger colony. Bottom left pic is as best I could get of what I mean.

It's a constant reoccurance with RW for me which in itself sounds silly as I know all cubes grow alike (more or less)

Perhaps you should use diluted Grain Water or a low nute agar recipe. Could help clear up that growth.

I'll give it a go, I did try 1% agar for a while but that didn't show any discernable difference in growth. I'll try Grain water.

Sorry to jump in here but felt this would be a better place that a new thread: For those of you using propane to run PC, about how much propane do you use per cycle? And\or Do you think green propane bottle would be enough to run a 23qt presto for a 90 min cycle in approximately 40°F ambient air temp?

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't using a propane burner for your presto possibly warp it? I think I read that in the manual.

I've always poured it down the drain before I remembered to save it... everytime. When diluting is 1 part to 4 a good place to start or would you advise less. I imagine grain water is quite nute heavy.

I go for half and half grain water/distilled water. Sometimes I just use straight grain water. My above RW plates were done using just grain water, no dilution.

You are correct. There is a warning about LP burners but only above 12,000btu. I don't believe (though I could be wrong, will double check before blowing myself up) that the green camping bottle burners exceed that.
Edit: quick Google says the burner is rated at 10,000btu so I think it would be safe, though I would not want to run it wide open. Both to ensure some wiggle room and to avoid large temp differentials between bottom and sides of PC

You would honestly be better of getting a singular electric burner instead of attempting a gas burner. It's just the Presto 23qt is expensive to most and it would suck to have to replace.

A green bottle is nowhere near enough fuel to run that long.

I have a rusty whyte culture that always look like that on agar. I was always pretty sure they were contaminated with something, but decided to use one as inoculation in like March of this year and it gave really stellar yield. I ran it again in september on a bunch of tubs and all worked out 
I'm not saying your plate is necessarily clean, but even mixing up agar recipes did not provide a typical appearance. They always had a super tomentose, fluffy type growth that doesn't resemble anything I've worked with

At least a 20lb cylinder. Little green camping ones are no good for running a PC. I wouldn't think. All my grills are fitted for 20lb. Cylinders

Gas is fine as long as you’re not torching the pot. My propane burner gets up to 55,000 BTUs but I never let it run that high. Make sure the flames don’t run up near the sides and you’ll be fine

 The maximum they can output is not what you are running them at. Turn the gas down lol. My mom has canned many jars of vegetables with an outdoor propane burner and the pc has lasted for a long time. One thing people should do is put up some kind of shield around the outside of the burner/pc to shield from wind, she uses an old box to provide a windbreak.

If you have to ask maybe you shouldn't. If you have any sense at all you should be fine. Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out how not to ruin a presto with propane burners
