Ferdinando's mushroom monotub tek * 1
    #27790287 - 05/24/22 06:19 AM (2 years, 7 months ago)

How to grow mushrooms

things to get

aluminium foil
pressure cooker
2 - 3 (depending on the size of your monotub) jars with metal lid or plastic lid where you can drill a hole in them
size 1 quart/1 liter
pot
colander
micropore tape
55-60 l see through tub/plastic box
drill
1 - 1,5 liters (depending on wether you use 2 or 3 jars (depending on the size of your monotub) ) or so of rye grains
2/3 of a brick of coco coir
misting bottle
isopropyl alcohol
paper towels
mushroom spore syringe
bicycle wheel if you can't shake the partly colonized jars without it

empthy jars
drill a single hole in all of them
preferably 1/4 inch
put on micropore tape

rinse about 1 liter - 1,5 l (depending on wether you use two or 3 jars (depending on the size of your monotub)) rye grains 3-4 times with colander
put in pot and fill with water
approxitely half half
little less water
put on lid

let soak for 4 hours

boil rye for 7 minutes

put in colander

shake and stir till dry to the touch

put in jars
till the middle of 2/3 to 3/4 full

there is to be no standing water

put middle much water in pressure cooker and turn on pressure cooker and pressure cook water
without lock
for 10 minutes
to make sure you pressure cook water and not air

put lots of aluminium foil in bottom of pressure cooker
about an inch or two
this way the jars dont break
because they are not in contact with the bottom of the pressure cooker

put aluminium foil on jars
super super tightly
as tightly as you can
this way the jars don't dry
several layers
we need to cover it tightly enough so that water doesn't evaporare from the jars




put in water almost almost to the top of the jars
in the pressure cooker not in the jars

tun on pressure cooker at 15 psi and cook for 90 minutes

when done let sit for long time

then take lock off

if it lets out steam let it set like that till it doesnt then open
or wait then open

if it doesnt put out steam you can probably open
but maybe wait till youre sure it can open safely
always have lock off before opening so the pressure is out
otherwise it can explode unnecessary disaster
now your grain is ready for inoculation

clean an area
preferably with isopropyl alcohol and paper towels

flame  needle

whipe needle with isopropyl alchohol and a paper towel

inoculate 1 cc in a jar and put micropore tape on
and fast

repeat for all jars

let sit without direct sunlight

when 20-25 % of jar size has mycelium shake the jars till all the grains are seperated

if you cannot do this bang them on a bicycle wheel

if you cannot do any of this maybe you can let it colonize fully without shaking

let stand for some days
till all of it is covered in mycelium

to make the tub you drill holes about 5 inches apart all over the tub except at the bottom where the substrate will be (5 - 6 inches). then put micropore tape over the holes. congratulations you have prepared your tub and you can put in substrate and mycelium.

now prepare substrate like this :mushroom2:

boil 1 gallon of water in a pot

do this in clean area

put coco coir in the pot, enough so you can fill the tub to 5-6 inches height of the cooked coir (maybe 2/3 a brick) and have the water cover the coir

dip the brick in the water so you can seperate the coir

when luke warm and body temperature pour out excess water

pour out water till you can only squeeze a few droplets of water out of a handful of cour

if running water comes from it you need to squeeze out more water from the coir

wipe the inside of the tub with isopropyl alcohol and paper towel

put the Coco coir in the tub

wipe spoon with paper towel and isopropyl alcohol and and mix the mycelium from your jars with the coco coir

the thickness should be about 5 inches

put the lid on the monotub

let the monotub stand with light but not direct sunlight in a super clean place

every day mist with spray bottle with water and fan (shake lid from side to side) 2x

mushrooms will come up and then harvest when caps have opened
you just pick the mushrooms and seperate them as close to the growing medium as possible

for second flush fill tub with water
so that it covers the substrate
leave for 4 hours
then pour out water
4-5 flushes can be had

a flush is a growing session where you use the tub as is without more rye

easy peasy happy growing and tripping

you hold the jar where the lid is and hit the wheel with the jar
you can also wait till it's all colonized but when you spread it it colonizes faster
I like to do it that way

I feel like this tek has filled in all the missing gaps I had cultivating for the last 20 odd years.

"put middle much water in pressure cooker and turn on pressure cooker and pressure cook water
without lock
for 10 minutes
to make sure you pressure cook water and not air" 
i'm confused......shouldn't the air be cooked also?

I think he's talking about bleeding the air so it's filled with steam.

I think it just means you cook water into the air
instead of just heating air
it's not essential
was from a different tek it seemed important so I took it to the tek
I suppose you can just leave the lock off and see if steam comes out
when you pressure cook for real

It was a joke, just like this"tek". There's no need to purge the air when there's not even any jars in the PC yet 😆
