Bike tires and jars... probably the most stupid and dangerous thing RR came up with. I mean, unless your spawn is bacterial you wouldn't need to do that, it breaks pretty easy with just a few very light taps on your own tigh, putting your hand in between.
I thought the same thing. Just a couple whacks on my palm are good enough for clean spawn. If it's not I'm tossing the spawn

I confess that I'm going fucking insane. I just tore down my Martha because it was falling apart my new boxes have pin mold in a few of them. My Martha was on it's last legs anyways but the special hell that encountered while taking apart is something I will never forget. Because of the poor Chinese build of it the tubes had collected water and some odd black sludge type shit formed inside the crevices. Also it was covered in rust. It got all over me and my wall and my my good sweatshirt and purse. I had no idea it was in there till I pulled one of the tubes and it splashed everywhere. I'm fucking livid. I should have had my super Martha built weeks ago so this is my fault really. I've just been feeling super shitty with the med change and neglecting stuff. I have it all cleaned up and the piece of shit is in a box waiting to go back to the store sludge and all. I just am really not emotionally capable of dealing right now. I have to go over all the boxes carefully tomorrow with a flash light and build my new setup. Luckily I have some clean grain jars I made a few days ago and some clean plates so I can start over.
Also I'm stressed out because I have to pack up all my stuff and move in a few months. I decided to move earlier rather than later because I fucking hate having roommates and I can never get work done on my schedule cause of cuntilla upstairs bitching to the landlord. I'm not into creating a hostile living situation so I'm just done. I'm going to adult and live alone.
And yeah don't mind me. I'm just in a shit mood in general. Hoping it gets better before it gets worse. I'm still considering what to do about the other boxes because the pin mold spots are so small and it looks like the infection came after the boxes had colonized for some time. Maybe I'll just drill some holes and stick them on the other side of the basement like I did the last ones. They didn't get a pin set but they grow a few flushes of extra large shrooms. I dunno. Sigh. I hope it really is just those two boxes.  
I'm just not sure If I'll have to go backwards this time and go back up on my meds so I can function better at least till I move. I'm just so sore and angry.

Sorry to hear of your woes TBC, I'm actually really excited to see how your new place works for you and the hobby. I'm envisioning a commercial cordyceps venture in the spare room and an awesome psychedelic garden.
Positive vibes from your Shroomy bros, and I imagine probably a couple Shroomy sisters. Remember, everything is temporary, especially if you got it from china.

I guess I'm slightly happier because I just went through my plates to see what I have for tomorrow and this agar pin is from another giant TOC agar pin ensuring I have something special here. Hopefully it won't sporulate before I wake up and start working. This was only on the plate since the 28th. Never seen a plate grow pins so fast. I think I will use my TOC plates to catch up since they seem pretty awesome. I'm crossing my fingers that I can save some of these boxes too. I may have to save APE's for another time because I just need to have something clean and vigorous going to make up for time.
It even has a pretty little lacy skirt on.
Original pin.

The clone which is twice as big. I guess the veil is breaking so it's not much of a pin anymore.

That's the biggest agar pin I've ever seen!

You keep saying this but then I never see cubes... What's up? I don't think your spawn is as clean as you like to believe

I never see anything from you, so what's the difference?
I confess, it gets old when people run around the cult spewing advice and critiquing others, yet never post a grow of their own, or a good looking one at least.

You're right, I've noticed myself. I guess I'm sick of being soft. I'm growing a shell, I gotta stop letting it affect the way I treat people.

Very valid, time for me to get off the boards and stick to journal land where I can stop criticising everyone but myself...

I confess i like that one of the rules here is to frown on deletion of old โuselessโ threads.
I found out how to prepare pelletized straw for bottles and i couldnโt be more happy or messy now

They are blue oysters. But it was warm and I didn't have a good light for them.
