Does Coffee Have Anti-fungal Properties?

2 weeks ago I inoculated a bunch of jars with spores and had some coffee beans I got last Christmas lying around so I thought to experiment I'll add some to a few of the jars. All other variables are the same and I inoculated them in a random order and all were randomly PC's at 15 psi for 1 hour. But the jars with coffee added took much longer to show any signs of colonisation and the mycelium is growing much slower.
The jars in the middle are the coffees and every jar has shown at least a small amount of growth.

No. Mold grows on coffee easily

It's still entirely possible for coffee to have anti-fungal agents and some fungal types to be able to grow on it easily.

I use coffee in all my Subs. Never an issue. Maybe maxwell is better than folders or Starbucks? I think so

No...that's why you have to pasteurize anything you add coffee to

Hello,
The coffee was PC'd for 60 minutes, same as all of the other jars. The only difference between them is that some have a few coffee beans added. This for some reason seems to have slowed growth considerably. The Myc is still growing on the coffee just much slower.

Yea beans... I don't think they are edible for the myc. How much?

120g of coffee beans spread out over 5 jars. I think they will eventually colonise, it will just take a lot longer.
Cheers

Anyway to quote another study, I'm are sure coffee has some effect on myc growth. Added to bulk it probally makes very little difference but when the spores are starting out it's gonna make a huge difference. Once the myc has colonised the coffee I'm sure the coffee nutrients are beneficial overall.

For C. coffeicola the reduction of mycelial growth was 64.48%, when extracts of A. sativum, V. polysphaera and S. aromaticum were applied. Chalfoun et al. (2009) observed a reduction of 5.05% on the mycelial growth of C. coffeicola, when 10 µL of methanol extract of C. longa was applied on top of the disk that contained the fungus. By using the extracts of A. sativum, V. polysphaera, C. nardus and S. aromaticum against R. solani was observed a mycelial growth inhibition of 100%. The different results obtained using several species as biofungicides extracts suggests that there are many substances, which can still be exploited for the management of plant pathogens.

Oh in a spawn jar? No no. Just grains I add spent coffee grounds to the substrate when spawning to buckets. Sorry

No comparison is possible in this case because each jar is growing a different culture.
Coffee is a good microbe substrate in my experience; it molds over as fast as bread. It's also acidic and caffeinated, which are two undesirable qualities for mush cult.
I add the last espresso grounds to (sterilized) fruiting substrates. If anything, it gives traditional supplements like wheat bran a little kick.
For whatever reason, oysters seem to really love it.

I thought you use coffee with oysters to boost nitrogen

If you only pressure cooker 60 minutes there's your problem
Everything is contaminated anyway. Probably 50/50 your technique and then also inadequate sterilization
Looking up unrelated articles on scholar to try to back yourself up is confirmation bias at its finest

No need to be an arse mate, how is it confrontational bias? referencing is standard practice in science. When controlling for the all the variables all the jars were PC'd for 60 minutes and ONLY the coffee ones have poor growth. I quickly calculated P and its P = 0.0085, that coffee was the factor.

It was different spores that colonised each jar, but a comparison is definitely available, that's why statistics exist in science because you can't test under perfect conditions.

Well searching for the answer you want to hear as a keyword is the worst way to research unbiased.
You can't calculate an honest P because there's no controls, and there's no experiment set up.
Since you insufficiently sterilized the coffee contaminated quickly. It has nothing to do with any anti fungal properties. Using coffee you have to be extra diligent

How do you know exactly what spore grew where? There are literally thousands of them, all with different Genetics. You are looking to find a way to prove you are correct, that's all. Humans do that

WTF, please don't pigeon hole me. I made an observation that I've reported to the forum and I posted some papers that were inline with my observation. Ad Hominem logical fallacies against myself don't change these observations.
