Help! Stagnant mycelium growth
    #26971053 - 10/05/20 06:23 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hello all!

I ordered 2 one-pound grain spawn bags from a very reputable site and spore syringes from a Shroomery sponsor. 

I followed all the steps of inoculation, and kept the bags on the top shelf of a closet at an average temperature of 78 degrees.  I checked them periodically and there was decent airflow.

After about 2 weeks, I saw signs of mycelium in both bags. It was extremely slow, but I figured it was just something about my conditions and hoped it would pick up, maybe it was growing in the center.

When one of the bags showed a patch of growth about twice the diameter of a quarter, I got impatient and mixed it into the grain.  After that, the mycelium slowly disappeared in that bag, even though I could still see it after mixing up the grain. It has now been almost a month and a half and the mycelium is completely gone. There are absolutely no signs of contamination. There are no smells, and the moisture looks correct. It pretty much looks exactly as it did when I ordered it. Did I kill it?


As for the other bag, it's showing decent growth, about 15-20%, but it has stagnated.  There are no signs of contamination in it either, so I'm hopeful it might eventually get there.  At this rate, though, it will be another month at least.  Has anybody ever had a spawn bag take 2 months or more?

What on Earth is going on here?  I am perplexed and honestly pretty bummed about the whole situation.

I have 2 more spawn bags, one which I inoculated with a replacement syringe that the company was kind enough to offer when I reached out to them, and the other from a second source.

I have several more syringes and am getting supplies to do a PK Tek, which I will try to fruit in my adapted monotub. Anyway, thanks for reading and I really appreciate any advice you can offer.
