Do you think it'll work? lol
    #25135473 - 04/13/18 10:49 AM (6 years, 9 months ago)

I just knocked up 3 cakes in some tubberware lmao.

The first 2 are brown rice that's been sat in boiling water a few minutes, mixed in with potting soil/verm. (Mainly verm but i couldn't get it compeltly sepporated) It has wood chippings, peat moss, some worm castings, and chicken manure.

I just used dry rice at the top to sub the dry verm layer. (idk if this could cause contams or not)

steam sterilized for 2 hours

waited an hour for them to cool and then inoculated.

one of my cakes has white shit on the wall of it on the inside, but i think it might just bc crushed verm sticking to the wall. could be myc it is about 10 hours later.


And rn im making a better one, so at least if those fuck up this one will work.


I boiled my brown rice until almost all the water was gone and it was mush and I took a potato masher and mashed it around. (It was a nasty sticky mess, but im damn sure mushrooms would love that shit.) and I mixed it with the verm and a bit of potting soil. I got this one to the perfect moisture too, not wet to the touch, but if you sqeeze it you can tell theres water.


i have it steam sterilizing rn. theres no rice layer on this one bc i feel like its just asking for contams. I have foil on the top and I'll be poking a hole through it to knock it up.

I have a feeling if i keep the last one clean and put away where air doesn't flow it'll work good. The first 2 are probably gonna take a very long time to colonize and prolly contam out. (my guesses)

Hmmmm, prob not mycelium after 10 hours. And your right rice on top is asking for contains, that's nutritious,  the point of verm is that it's a non nutritive layer, the rice is dry but will absorb moisture from below. I don't wanna be a bummer but this sounds iffy. I've done plenty of failed experiments myself tho so carry on and report back! Personally I have always done grain and bulk. I find pf tek to be more difficult than bulk with very minimal payout. What about tyvek over your jar with a rubberband and microwaving after steaming to really sterilize the bugger? Maybe? Idk but you can probably find a pressure cooker at your local thrift store, I buy them every time I see one  if you were here in Fresno id  just give you one

I actually did that with the last container lmao. I got it covered with medical tape. I also nuked it in the microwave for 15 mins lmao. Im gonna give it a couple hours to cool down and then im gonna inoc this one. If anything I just hope this one works.

I had really old spores and im determined to get some shrooms for literally nothing but my work. And also if it fails at least I can see where and why.

Also make sure to let it cool down enough before you noc it up. You don't want to damage/kill those spores before they even have a chance :smile:

:horrified:

You could buy both brf and verm at walmart for less than $10, follow pf tek instructions and likely get some shrooms.  Otherwise, you're going to keep making messes and growing mold and bacteria.  Just my :twocents:
