No worries, I just don't have any fruits to show for it, so I rather refer to someone who has.
In case things go south.. don't toss you contaminated spawn/bag.. just remove mold by hand.. add some old garden soil with aged chips mixed in, expose to the open. These came from 2 contaminated trich jars.. was 25% green.. after a week or 2 spending time in the garden in an open bag.. I placed everything inside.. even added some leftover clean spawn.. now 2 weeks passed.. just checked.. looks fine

If your hazelnut branches still had bark on them, I'd suspect that might have been the source of the green contam. (Is it for sure trich? I see that show up as a pretty distinct white and then light green to emerald green, whereas a lot of other molds will stay dull green. I tend to be less concerned about those.) I imagine bark can probably protect some of those spores even from pasteurization temps.

Hi Folks
I’m wondering if any of you have introduced wood / lignin into the cultivation of wood lovers earlier and if you thought there was any advantage to it (speed, vigor, leap off).

I have added some Adler wood pellets (.5 -1%) to my agar for woodlover germination or transfers, I’ve added about 1-3% wood pellets in my grain jars for woodlover mycelium.

The thing is I was too lazy to do a proper side by side comparison of wood supplemented vs not wood supplemented.

I can definitely say it doesn’t hurt. All those efforts were as good and possibly better than non supplemented.

🤪

My best cyanescens jar so far this year, probably not 100 percent clean by any means but it seems pretty happy on grain.

Reminds me of the good ole days.. 2016, growing Cyans without sterile techniques. Had no PC, no SAB, nothing, just winging it It was my first mycelium I've ever grown, and never seen the fruits of.

Haha, well this has been far from sterile.. contaminated spawn.. fish out ok-ish looking bits.. spawn to uhmm decayed chips from the garden with soil.. did produce a cake, but decided to burry it as some green started to appear. Outside it will do fine!! look at this dirty cake..

Yeah man.

Thar one was the first jar I made from a T1 plate or so. I thought the growth looked cool.

There are a few plates at the T3-T4 stage now that look a bit cleaner.



Still no SAB, and using a $25 Cuisinart 4qt electric PC. The mycelium doesn't seem to care much when it hits wood.



Growing these indoors so not expecting to see much, but hey, FAFO, right?

Lately I've been trying out bathtub tek. Super sterile especially right next to the toilet. I'm wondering what this weird stuff is, probably trich?



We'll see!

You're doing all that without a SAB?? That's hardcore, I struggle with a fair bit of bacterial contamination even with the SAB and careful sterile technique (obviously not careful enough tho).

Heads up, you changed the thread title and all I know is that's frowned upon.

Definitely put a SAB on your to-do list, it'll probably save you a lot of plates (and time)!

Yeah, it's pretty dumb, for some reason making one has just been a weird mental hangup.
