Ah, for saying mr. Ron, no doubt. I'm technically in the south, but right by the border. However i did live for some time in Louisiana.

But yes, i try and be respectful, as i don't know you personally.

I am well, thanks for asking. I how you are feeling well too. Bless up :bigblunt:

I dont need to grow alot, only for personal use, so i am trying to keep things simple and cheap.

Thats being said i always use MS with grains (millet) and spawn to CVG, and they germinate within 3-4 days (maybe because I live in dry hot climat) and never had any contams issues as long as the prints were clean to start with.

But of course agar is the safest route and it also opens a lot of opportunities to make a lot of stuff like cleaning, cloning...etc...

i just bought premade agar petri dishes, im tired of syringes, agar is so much better. should i drop a wedge in those jars anyways? or just dump them out, the wedge will be a different "strain"


hey what  is a premade petri dish may i ask? i used to use glass ones. :acidfire::jah:


hey i am sort of afraid to tell you anything more but i would think that you should temporarily refrigerate the premade agar you got and make up another batch of jars and inoculate them with the new stuff and put other jars into a clean environment with the proper temperature etc and wait and see. :flyagaric::jah::breakthrough:

Spores are nitoriously filthy as they can't be harvested under sterile conditions. Like the others have said, avoid using MS to grain directly. Put it on agar first to increase your chances of getting clean spawn.

MS to grain can work, but its bad technique with a low success rate. 7 days isn't very long to wait for spore germination....you can see growth anywhere from 1-3 weeks depending on how hydrated the spores are.

Loving the lid with the Whatman filter. If you decide to stick with the hobby you might want to invest in proper SFDs. Poly is a good budget option but it needs to be stuffed super tight to avoid contamination.

Welcome to the Shroomery brother. Hope you stick around. :thumbup:


dear benny how are you? i would please like to ask you what is a sfd and also what does ms mean? i used to use a nice special glass syringe with special filters to take the contaminants off the spores from peele. i still have it and a few filters i believe. it worked good. also what is that filter all about. stay in touch. ronkay :jah::flyagaric::breakthrough:

Hello Shroomery friends. I have a question regarding my rye jars.

i have a few pint jars, and a few quart jars with rye. today i slighty mixed it up to see if there was any mycelium but there wasnt any. do you think it was bad spores? i used MS injection. about 1-3 CC in each jar.



As said 3cc is too much and 6 days is not a lot. Where did you inject it into the jar? some will do it down the side of the jar, I mark my jars with a marker if I do this. I would not shake so the spores do not get too spread out and I know what spot to start looking for growth in. Otherwise I would drip spores in the centre and again not shake so I know where to look. I also use agar these days as others have recommended.

Not only is 3cc using up what I presume are commercial syringes but you have a greater chance of contaminants. if there are 10 contams in the syringe its very likely one went in with 3cc.

There could have been very slight growth going on but now you shook them up it might take even longer before you see it as it will now be spread out and recover slowly in many different places.

Nice answer:thumbup:

I'd also like to add you don't want the spores to spread out too much when you shoot them up because that will make it harder for the spore's mono myc to mate with each other.  That fast rhizo growth you see is the result of two mushroom spores mating.

:breakthrough:one would think that there would be some contamination by then also. :breakthrough:




Shouldn't be a contamination issue after just 6 days. With this logic how would anyone get a fully colonized jar before 6 days. If you did your shit right there is no way it'll contaminate within 6 days
