Kind of. A refractometer for brewing is calibrated for glucose. When measuring wort there's a correction that has to be applied because of all the maltose. So kind of but not really. A hydrometer would be better tool

I usually just dunk witches in mine.  If they float, there's enough nutrition for the myc to thrive.

Normal stuff for cubes on agar.



I wouldn't specifically aim for tomentose or use recipes that encourage that kind of growth. Also you really need not even measure pH for simple hobby growing of cubes.

You can see the reflective edge of what I call slime in image 1, (12 o'clock). The same area in image 2 has a wavy lighter coloured line running.
There is also a light blob at 6 o'clock in image 2. It could be condensate as you mentioned, does it run off if you tilt it?

Some images and recipes for reference. You may need to adjust the recipe's to suit.

Just wanted to bring this to the attention of mush cult.  katbusa and Ferather have been experimenting with tea agar to clean up contaminated spawn and cultures.
I thought it would fit in over here as a great alternative to antibiotic agar...tea is readily available and not everyone wants to use antibiotics.
Also, bacterial contams are often present when starting from prints and syringes, and can really be discouraging to those starting out.
I modified the original recipe to use less tea as the original amount seemed a bit excessive.

Here are a couple APE cultures and a malabar. All had some degree of bacterial contam and are now growing clear.
Growth is very slow on this medium but will result in a clean culture.

NOTE: Spores will not germinate well on this agar!



200ml H2O
4.25g black tea (2 bags)
2g ME
4g Agar

Original post here




My recipe (for wood lovers) here: T-Gel antibacterial agar.


Notes:

For Cubensis, and other types use Mycolorado's recipe.
Growth should be tomentose, not rhizomorphic.
You may need to adjust the end pH.


tomentose myc hides contams way too well. Stop telling noobs to look for tomentose

Thanks I'll look in to it more.  I just want to compare my own batches.  Just like the theory to lower nutes for faster growth.  I think I'll experiencing to many nutes.  I'll have pictures up soon.

A total dissolved solids meter and a hydrometer would be where I would start.

All my grain substrates are being colonized in jars with mouths that aren't wide mouths (meaning I cant make it slip out as a brick). Is shaking what needs to be done so it colonizes on the inside? Or is it just to speed up the process?

I won't be able to get the cake out without smashing the jar. Wide mouth jars cost like 5 times as much and were half the size so no way I'm using that.

Grain jars dont need to come out as a cake they are mixed with bulk sub. The shake is just to increase speed and check for contams

Those are all aerial puff balls, the images I have provided are all flat(ish), as they should be.
In addition, not all mycelium produce the rhizomorphs being described.

Here is an image, where you can compare the difference.

The kit I started doing shrooms with had no bulk sub so I don't really know much about that yet. What are the chances of contams like when I put the colonized grain on top of coir+verm and then coir+verm on top of that.

Does bulk substrate increase the yield or something? I know it isn't absolute necessity but there is probably a very good reason why all of you do it.

mushrooms are 90% water. The bulk sub supplies that water. How many times do we need to tell you kits suck before you understand?

Hey does anyone know where I might find some 4oz polypropylene containers with screw on lids?
Kind of like the same idea as ziplock  twist-n-lock but the size of glad mini rounds?

I've been scouring Amazon for months now cause I'm getting real tired of putting foil and paper towels on everytime I cook up a batch of no pour plates :lol:

have you tried 1/2 pint wide mouth jars? they are a little bigger than pasty plates.

Cool,.. well morphology on agar is basically meaningless. And not to measure dicks but we can compare what we've fruited from our cultures. Im happy with my results
:shrug:

I can make pretty plates too, and i don't have to link to ones i found on the internet.
