Needing advice
    #26865937 - 08/06/20 07:43 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I'm a first time grower,and I inoculated my pf tek kit 3 days ago with golden teacher spores. I accidentally dropped my pf tek kit today when taking it out of the cupboard to inspect it, there's 2 cracks on the side of the container, luckily no substrate got out and the cracks are sealed, however, it is possible that some air could have gotten in through the cracks for a few split seconds when it was dropped. Do I risk a high probability of contamination because of this?

It’s possible something could slip through there but since there’s nothing you can do about those jars now just let it wash over you and see what happens. Like when you eat the mushrooms themselves.

The dry vermiculite layer will have gotten all shook up and that is the biggest concern. You want to handle the jars as little as possible, although it can be tough.

Welcome to the shroomery: )

You said pf tek kit - like in the singular. Is this one of those Tupperware looking tubs where you can see lines in the plastic? Or actual pf tek half pint jars?

Thanks for your response, yes, it's just a singular, 1 litre plastic tub. And the plastic  cracked on the side, but luckily no plastic broke off, just 2 cracks.

Hmm yeah I was imagining glass jars That didn’t shatter just had some cracks. Plastic will probably have opened up a decent amount when cracking. But still, you can only wait and see.

If you’re set on growing some mush though I’d read up on pf tek or better still read up on agar and order some and a few sleeves of Petri dishes. Make a simple SAB and buy some WBS and coir. You can grow tons of fungi easily once you get the process down. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24144021


Kits often fail unfortunately but I’ll send some good vibes  :trippinbawelz:
