Spawned 3 quarts to 2 nursery flats of straight coco.
Everything I’ve spawned and tossed outside seems to be growing...
My goal of birthday boomers may happen. Sweet

Looking pretty good here !
Hoping all my agar supplies and portable clean booth arrive soon.
I also ordered some rusty white and pf classic spores. That’s the first kind of cube I grew and it’s been about 17 years since I tried them. I ate a handful of aborts in a tea and had the strongest trip of my Life that’s never been matched to date..and I’ve definitely tried. So I’m looking forward to taking those syringes to agar and playing around with that !

I’ll let these incubate for another 5 days then put the dome on them and let them fruit

All kinds of goodies on the way with regards to cultivation supplies.
Pyrex media bottles MEA blend Activated charcoal 20lbs of polyfil Petri dishes XLS-A and 3T bags (1000 of each) Another 23 qt cooker
Decided on getting a Terra Universal laminar flood hood.
When I get plant tissue culture ramped up heavily at my day job I will order one of their clean rooms Definitely jumping back in to doing this in some degree consistently

Seedling flats eh? Ill never use poly again. Id also suggest looking up pastys ez agar, paatys ez dial tubs, holy grail plates. Ive also been using micropore again. Started in 2009 but got sick of it. Then started again 6-8 months ago. Sick of it again. Also lookup fruit at spawn by azure. Use a top layer of your sub as a pseudo casing. I go straight to fruiting conditions at spawn. And pastys ez dial tubs. Wont need anything else!

Here’s an experiment I know I’ll get ripped for but I’ll share anyway.
The spawn jars previously shown that had gone bacterial I decided to spawn anyway because the ratio of healthy mycelium to funk was in favor of the fungi.
At my day job I work with commercial bactericide/fungicide called peroxyacetic acid , it’s basically hydrogen peroxide and vinegar mixed together. I decided to see if this stuff has any effect on living mycelium at working concentrations.
The 15% concentrate I use at work will burn a hole in your leg, I’m using 1% and diluting that 2mL in 1000mL so 1:500 ratio.
Anyway, I also have an abundance of coco so I just use that. The brand is HortGrow. It has an extremely high substrate water holding capacity. 1500 grams of dry compressed coco takes 9500mL water to reach field capacity. I verify this with a TEROS 12 substrate moisture sensor.
This is pretty much 1 1500 Dry gram disc and I think about 6 quarts of spawn.
It seems that consistently misting the box with bactericidal water is letting the healthy mycelium colonize.
GreenScissor Tote liner is used for wrapping the box and making it in to a fruiting chamber.

thanks for the advice.
I had literally just misted them, then whipped my phone out and took the photos.
I think it's working OK.
My flow hood arrives today from terra universal looking forward to making cultures and starting with agar to Grain.
I opened the lids on the humidity dome and stuffed with polyfil
