Hey shroomery, I've got these golden teacher cakes colonizing for about a month in two days now and I've got growth already. I've done lots of reading and I'm still uncertain what to do about it. Here is a picture m. I have other jars that have pins as well but this jar has the biggest. Thanks to anyone who can give feedback!http://

Pop it out of the jar and submerge underwater for 24 hours.
In the meantime look up SGFC and build one
After 24 hours roll your cake in vermiculite and place on foil inside the shotgun fruiting chamber SGFC

Anyone knows how long a clean lc syringe can last in the fridge without losing viability? Is the lack of GE in the syringe a good thing to keep the culture for longer, or a bad thing?
Muda said in this thread that he kept lc's for a very long time in the fridge and the recovery of the lc was excellent when he took it out of the fridge and nocced stuff, but it was a jar with some GE.
I have a feeling that a lc syringe will stay viable for a long time in the fridge despite the lack of GE, would love to know, it would be a good way to store cultures.

Yeah I liked the idea a lot when he shared it, but keeping quart jars in the fridge... that's the part I don't like. I don't know if the lack of GE in a syringe will kill the myc eventually or make it go dormant but alive.

Would the syringe not have GE through the needle tip if you jist cracked it slightly?

Why not use 1/2 pint jars? Or baby food jars same concept yet smaller or get you a small beer fridge on a trade from someone? I got 3 brand new ones from a hotel job cause they "fell" off the truck dude owed me 100$ haha

I've been meaning to ask this for a while.
I make a liter of LC at a time, which then fills up quite a few syringes. Sometimes those syringes can sit around for a month or longer. Should I keep them in a fridge or are they better to keep at room temp? Is the lack of available oxygen an issue?

I don't know but I'm all about easy. The idea of storing clones in the fridge in lc syringes is beyond cool imo.

That's where I keep most things I'm not using for long term I use an insulated lunchbox

So does anyone else notice a perfume smell when harvesting? I notice it when I'm walking with the loaded tray to the dehydrator. I noticed it a few weeks ago and now it's all I can smell while I'm harvesting, it's such a nice smell. Sometimes it's malty and hoppy like what I'd want a really tasty beer to smell like. Today's harvest was even better, like flowers and perfume. It doesn't smell like the tub at all, something about cutting the mushrooms.
Just wondering, I know I have a weird sense of smell.

it always smells like fresh mushrooms?
memory is strongly linked to smell. ever take a big sniff of god-bud and felt high for sec  or be picking and cleaning mushrooms for hours on end that you feel like your tripping by the time your done?

I would fridge them. All fungi has energy reserves, usually glycogen. It uses that up while it's sitting around not eating anything new. In the fridge it uses less stored energy. If you use mycelium that's ate through a lot of its stored energy it will have poor leap off. Complete nutrient LC has good performance, my hypothesis is that it increases intracellular energy reserves. Where simple sugar LC will grow mycelium but doesn't pack it full of energy to use later on. Either way the fridge is better storage for any fungi that's not in colonization or growth phase.

I obviously use coir. I'm asking about manure so I can grow certain species that require/love it. $1 a pound doesn't seem too bad if it's a decent source.
I don't have access to a horse farm. And I am unable to have piles of manure around my home for various reasons. I was specifically asking about a single brand from a popular vendor to see if anybody used it.

I really doubt any one ever buys online poo .. i think you should buy maybe 30lbs thats about 12 to 15 tubs worth depending on how you cut it and see how it fares for you besides that everyone will give you answers youre not lookin for i dont think 1$ a lb is bad at all conpared tto other places ive seen
