Fruiting bacterial grain jars
#23780996 - 10/28/16 07:08 PM (7 years, 3 months ago) |

So, I have some old contaminated grain jars. They are pinning on their own, and I would like to try to fruit them in a SGFC or something. Maybe throw a bit of casing on top. Any suggestions?

don't even bother casing if they're pinning in there and it's also contaminated.

Not all of them are pinning.

Honestly id try to do a damion 5050 tek. Double the spawn to coir ratio (2x spawn to coir)

If I case it, I would probably use cvg. I usually stock up on jiffy mix before winter, but I didn't get around to it this year. Maybe a simple verm layer will work though. I have some verm that is quite fine.
I wasn't really asking for suggestions on what to case with. I was just wondering how you guys go about fruiting bacterial jars, if anyone around here does that.

I'm having the same dilemma right now. Considering spawning to bulk, or just putting them in a tray and mixing it with cvg, or a tray with a casing layer, or just fruiting invitro. Maybe I'll roll some dice.

Thanks for suggesting the bucket tek. That's definitely something I will consider in the future, but perhaps with some healthier spawn. Also, it will avoid the hassle of drilling holes into one of my buckets. Just because I'm more familiar with the operating conditions of a monotub, I may be leaning towards using a monotub and just introducing fruiting conditions early while the substrate is still colonizing.

Do you have pics? Some of mine are pretty bad, but this strain is very quick to fruit. I wouldn't really dare spawn them to anything, or even try to lay them out in treys.

I would rather use proper pasteurization if I'm going to case these bad boys. I have to take every measure I can against trich. I believe the bucket tek takes the sub into sterilization territory.

Yep, check here. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23739812
The first few pics are two master jars i g2g'd. Obviously I'm a little new to bacillus contams but to my eyes they didn't look too terribly bad. Later in the thread I posted pics of a few representative jars from the first round of g2g transfers I did. My first ever g2g. The second round of g2g I did went a lot smoother and seem to be doing better, but still came from a bacterial jar (a somewhat ill educated guess), so my hopes are higher with those since they are colonizing way faster and look a bit healthier.

They got a little bit of bacteria. Spawn those fuckers to bulk. They are fine. Those are nice looking jars man. All jars have bacteria in them, btw. Nobody has entirely bacteria free jars. Your jars are perfectly useable.

Shake them, if you can't get the grains to break up, then there might be cause for concern if they haven't been sitting around for a couple weeks after full colonization. If they take more than 48 hours to recover (fuzz back up), then you probably have a problem.
I highly doubt you have either of those problems. Those jars look nice, buddy. Spawn them!

Thanks for your input! I've decided to spawn them to bulk in a monotub and introduce fae early while colonizing. It's just after having a lot of contam problems last time I'm extremely wary of bacteria in my jars. These do still look better though. I'll be mixing the jars into the sub later tonight.

If I have iffy jars I always fruit them with a thin casing separately. I usually get 1 or 2 flushes if im lucky.

Depends on what kind of bacteria you're talking about. If it's bacillus, it's probably not worth it, though you can try fruiting a cased jar.
If it's a semi aggressive bacteria that isn't turning your grain into goop, and it recovers after breaking up after 24-48 hours, you can spawn it to a tray and get a few decent flushes out of them. For proof of concept, look at the pics in my sig. Those trays were done (separate from anything else of course) with bacterial spawn and I managed to get 4 oz dry over 3 flushes, then tossed.
Unless you're a perfectionist (like a lot of people are on here) then you will not want to waste anything you might have. At any given time I might have 3-6 trays or tubs going and between 10-20 qts of oats. At least a few of those at any given time are going to be bacterial. Unless they are irrecoverably contaminated with an aggressive bacteria or they have some kind of mold, I refrain from tossing until I at least get a few fruits from them.

You should spawn them in the tubs, and put polyfill in right from the start. They will colonize and fruit much quicker, and you will have less opportunity for trich to set in before the first flush. However, those jars looked perfectly fine to me. I honestly don't think you have reason for concern.
I wish I were in your shoes right now 
Also, it's a good idea to case them if you set in fruiting conditions at spawn, because they will lose more moisture. Just my 2 cents.

I am already starting over. I don't have any clean spawn to do G2G with, and I am starting masters from agar. I just want to see what I can get out of these bad boys. They already gave me 1/2 oz dry from the mushrooms that grew invitro. I think I can get more out of them. I built a little GH setup, and I'm going to throw some casing mix on them and hope for the best!

I always just spawn like normally with bacterial jars as long as they aren't too bad. I've pulled some pretty decent grows off using bacterial spawn.
 This dub tub bruised like hell but went 4 flushes and the spawn I used was verry bacterial.

That tub looks pretty frekken cool actually! lol... You should see some of the bacterial matts I've had from spawning some nasty.
I would do that, especially because this strain fruits very quickly, but I just don't wanna deal with the cleanup. I usually do it outside, and just throw a bunch of subs in a wheel barrel to chuck into the compost pile. It's getting cold out though, and I'm pretty sure I would have a very low success rate with these bad boys.
It's kind of fun experimenting with a new method anyway. I made some trays, and cased some jars. We'll see what happens. If I have any luck, I will try to get some pictures for you guys. I should have taken pics of the jars. They were quite bad lmao! I'm pretty confident I will get a few oz though.

Yup, me too. I dare anybody to tell me to throw this away because it's bacterial.

Just harvested a decent sized mushroom from one of the jars that was cased with vermiculite. Several other jars are pinning on the sides. I realize now that I shouldn't have left any air pockets along the sides, where the grains have sucked away from the walls of the jar.
All trays seem to be colonizing fine. I had to throw one out due to mold. I think in less than 7 days I will know whether or not this was a worthy venture. Some of the trays have dried out a bit on a couple of occasions, because I didn't have the humidity in my GH dialed in properly. I have been misting more regularly now. I don't want to sink too much money into getting this thing set up for this run, if it doesn't pan out. I made a zipper door for it today though, for easy access.
I can see mycelium poking through the surface on most of the trays. Fingers crossed, fellas! I should have taken pictures of these jars... They were a special kind of aged funk.

The jars I spawned to trays and put in my quick little ghetto GH have started pinning! Fuck yeah!
These jars were really fucking bad. They had those big pussy balls of bacterial nasty growing on them... Yuck. I have a really bad fungal gnat problem right now though. I believe fungal gnat larvae feed off bacteria, or something like that. There always seem to be a fuckload of them when my bulk subs are bacterial. I found a nice way to fend them off well enough though.

Good to hear you're getting something out of it. Right now I have some tubs started off those g2g'd jars I had, but I'm still waiting on pins.

Did you put them in fruiting conditions (polyfill in holes) right off the bat? Did you case? Just curious.
I had one tray go bad out of 7 right off the bat. The rest are all fruiting right now, except the PE, but it looks healthy. PE just takes longer. I'm expecting a few dry oz, but maybe I'm being a bit too optimistic. About to spawn some more nasty jars that have been sitting around for a long time. I will try to get some pics before I harvest today.

You can follow progress here... https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23822328
Still not really sure I'll be seeing a flush out of 2 of the tubs (4 in total), but I am seeing knots forming in them.

You know, those tubs do look like they have bacterial issues. Looking back at the thread you started about your jars, most of the pics look quite nice, but this one doesn't look so nice. Did you shake them and wait to see how fast they recovered? How did the grains break up? Were they clumpy, and difficult/impossible to shake apart?
Anyways, it really looks like you are going to get a flush out of that bad boy. I just don't think it's going to be the best flush of your life 
These are my trays as of today:

I am honestly thankful to have gotten anything at all. These jars were pretty ugly. The best thing to come out of this is that I now I have a little GH to do experimental and gourmet shit in 
I will have to tweak it a bit when I get some extra cash!

Those fruits look delicious. If the jars were as nasty as you say they were they are making for some lovely looking trays. I started a couple trays myself from jars that had to be inoculated 1-3 times with a syringe...
The grains seemed to recover pretty well, and they colonized pretty quick after the g2g transfer too. They just didn't look so nice at the end. They were pretty easy to break up too.
Seeing your trays do so well gives me hope for my tubs.

My fruits are quite small though 
I would be surprised if you don't get anything out of those tubs. Sure, they have bacteria problems. I don't know why Cronicr said 'contaminated as fuck'... Definitely some problems, but I've had bacterial tubs that literally formed a thick leathery/foamy layer of shiny nasty on the top. Now that is contaminated as fuck lol! No knots from that tub!
I would be on the lookout for trich though, and if you spot it creeping up, carefully remove it with a pair of spoons, and then sprinkle the area with salt (generously) about 1/2" out from the section you removed. Then spray it with water til it is wetted. That will often hold it off til the tub flushes. Some of the fruits near the salted area may taste salty though lmao... They usually get waterlogged, when they absorb the salt.

Fair enough. I'm not content on settling. I'm pissed about these jars lol! I had at least 20 perfect tubs, and then I pushed my G2G out too far, and the jars all went to shit, so I just left them and took a break for a couple months (I know it's nasty lmao!)... Now I decided to fruit them, because the world wants mushrooms! So, I'm thankful, at least.
I just made ~50 petri dishes... I am going to begin getting at least half of my cultures off slants and up to par this weekend, and I am helping a friend start a little gourmet mushroom business, so I can't really afford anything less than perfect.

I've never seen pigmented metabolite secretion like I have in this jar. A big fight is going on, as the one to the left, and 2 others I've put into mono-tubes have no such contam. Rust strain.

Yick... those both look nasty to me. When they get that bad, I fill them with a bleach solution and empty them outside.

The one on the left is perfectly fine. All white mycelia, just weak growth because it's from a year old resuscitated pure culture. I have two jars that look just like it filling in a mono tub perfectly fine. I simply put the one on the left in to compare it to the intense oranges and liquid to the one on the right.
