Worried about slow growing tub * 1
    #26690740 - 05/23/20 04:12 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)



Hello all, I havn't been posting much since I have been having uneventful grows, but I'm worried about this tub of mine. it started as a rye grain spawn bag inoculated with 4 ml of a spore syringe and was visually clean but colonized the spawn slowly. it was spawned to bulk in coco coir on 4/28 and colonized at a snail's pace, has only been fruiting it's first flush for a few days now, and most worryingly, the rye grains on top have that sickly yellow/orange look. is this tub a lost cause or are the shrooms safe to eat?

The mushrooms should be fine but it’s been slow because of bacteria from the spore syringe most likely.

It’s time shroomgirl. Time for agar and clean spawn and eventful grows :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2:

is agar hard or expensive? I've got a good rhythm going with PF tek and refilling spore syringes from prints (this tub was from a fresh one) and I'm shy about making big monetary investment

Really isnt that expencive. Go on Amazon and look up malt agar and you can buy the powder. All you need is the agar powder, glass petri dishes, and a microwave.

Yeah the yellowing is not a good sign of the grains. Fruits are fine to eat thou. Just try to keep fruiting them.

U can actually buy pre-made agar plates now, they arent that expensive and u only need at least two plates.

There are a few different ways to go with agar. PP5 Tupperware β€œno pours” or reusable glass petris, disposable Petri. You need a PC though unless you get the pre made ones.

If PF tek is working for you and you’re satisfied then I’d stick with that, but once you start messing with grains you really need to have clean mycelium to start with.

Plus with agar you can clone mushrooms you like and have more predictable outcomes as far as colonization time, weight, potency etc. And you can then save those cultures on plates or slants

I've been operating under the assumption that any contamination means they shrooms are unsafe to eat. is that incorrect?

Fruits, unless black and rotting, are good in my book.

Just to add on to the agar suggestion, if you're into your brf you can make agar using the brf instead of buying malt extract if that cuts some cost on overall expenditure, I use the left over brf from pf tek and it works great.

Yeah I was gonna say brf paste too.

Really for like 100 bucks you get everything you need to last you for years.

I’ve been doing clones and like 30 different varieties constantly for six months and I’m just now getting to the last of my case of 500 plates which was 70 dollars.

Then agar and lme are a few bucks for enough to fill all those plates.
