It certainly does have a spongy, bacterial look doesnt it? The sub was very fresh CVG, pretty damn close to perfect field capacity, smelled good ect. I probably should have bleached the cooler i pasturize in before I made this batch, though. i usually do, but all the talk i hear about coir sub being so contam resistant, i guess i got complacent. no green trays yet, guess i'll just wait and see how many flushes they push out before getting too worried.

Oh boy this rabbit hole is just getting deeper and deeper. I have been spending the last couple days reading and watching videos and even bought some equipment for the pf tek (Half pint jars, perlite (100 liter) and vermiculite, brown rice flour for 60-70 dollar, it's expensive to get the items here in Finland), but now I'm thinking of maybe doing the monotub instead.

I think I will do the straw substrate since I can probably easily get it where I live for cheap. Now my question is do I need a casing for straw substrate and if I do what is the easiest and simple way?

Are isolates always perfectly symmetrical?

nearly perfect at least. the homogeneous appearance is more of a telltale sign.

thanks. what's the most rhizo isolate you've ever seen and did that make it less symmetric? and have you seen my isolation progress?

Rhizo is a lot more depending on the media than the culture

how many transfers does it take you to get growth like that? and does it make a big difference in potency/yield? seems hard to justify doing 100 transfers on agar before a grow, just to get another ~ oz.

Agar work doesn't do anything for potency or yield
You still have to test the culture. Most isolates will suck ass.
If you want potency or yield do A MS grow and clone a good mushroom

Substrate doesn't dictate results.

i know that it depends on the media. I'm just curious how uniform an intensely rhizo mono culture would look

Makes sense, the cultures i've done 15+ transfers on have sometimes underperformed vs ones i only did a couple transfers. So what is the point in cultivating an isolate, then? novelty?

well u have to find an isolate that doesnt suck first. when u have that, u can consistantly expect the best performance.

Do these looked contaminated? The growth looks awfully fuzzy.

Wet rag or paper towel and my shower sprayer. Sometimes all it takes is the sprayer

Most TCs have made a monotub tek so probably do it like they do
