Safe to UV grain?

Is it safe to expose grain to UV before a transfer?

I’ve seen agar exposed to UV and the mycelium was fine. Might have induced mutations allowing for expedited evolution. I don’t think he’s put it to fruiting yet tho. I wouldn’t expect it to be beneficial if you’re trying to sterilize it tho, as a lot of your contams are probably under the surface. Keep us posted if you end up getting anything interesting!  🧐

UV does nothing beneficial as far as keeping a culture more clean or sterile as shroomple stated. I wouldn't worry about using that and focus more on keeping your technique on point.
