Old rye spawn. Still usable?
    #27807521 - 06/05/22 08:40 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys,

Last year you all helped me successfully cultivate my first cubensis and I was truly enthralled and am eternally grateful.

The grow I did last year was pf tek and it went well, but because I had extra spores, I ordered 4 bags of rye berries and used my excess spores.  They took quite a while to fully colonize, then some life stuff came up and I wasn’t able to try spawning them to bulk. 

My question is, they were inoculated on 8/26 last year, and I’m wondering if they’re still usable? They look fully white and they don’t seem to have any moldy patches or anything, so you think it would be worth a shot or are they pretty much donezo?

Thanks In advance for any help!

Only one way to find out, right?


Break it all up and see how long it takes to recover. If its a couple days then its probably fine. If not you could try to top fruit it. 10 months is seriously old.

I have never used spawn that old. I assumed it would dry out terribly through the gas exchange. Can you post a picture of it, just for my curiosity. Generally though, I agree with 001001. No harm in trying, coir is cheap(verm used to be), and just try a shoebox. Worst case, you toss it anyways, best case, you get a few shrooms.

Hey thanks for the reply.  When you say “recover” what exactly am I looking for?

When you break up spawn it wont look colonized or as colonized as it was prior to breaking up.

Healthy spawn will look full colonized again within a couple days after breaking it up.

My vote is also spawning it to some coir/verm and see if you can get a flush.

Just breaking it up in the bag might not recover if it’s completely dried out, but we have seen spawn recovery when water is present.

Hoping it works, that would be rad! keep us updated!
