rinse very good, dump into boiling water, remove from heat, cover the pot, wait 45 min ( you'll need to find the the proper time for your WBS mix... check and cut the bigger kernels for inward hydration), strain in colander... let it dry for 1h, jar it, PC for 120 min

At the moment, this one. It's for millet but also seems to hold well for WBS:

Is there some variation of the Josex' Poke for agar to agar transfers? Or is using a scalpel and cutting a square out then moving it to a new dish the only way?

This box is 5 days old and I'm seeing white fluff already... this is the 3rd set of boxes I've done and the other 2 times I did not see this. This doesn't look like the mycelium that I've seen on the others. Any tips?

I posted a thread on this but you guys seem pretty active here. Can anyone tell me if this is some kind of contam or maybe just bad genetics. They are B+ but they seem to be misshapen and have something going on with their caps.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen. This is my first time doing agar and making grain jars.

When I dropped in the agar I tried to get it under the surface of the grains so I rusted grains to on side to try to bury the agar. On my third jar I finally got down a technique where It took me one turn in the jar to bury the grain.

On the first 3 jars, when I was figuring it out, I had to shake it back and forth many times to bury the agar.

I noticed that on those jars that some thinner growth of mycelium is popping up I different areas of the jar, but only in the areas where the grains were moving. I inoculated the grain jars a week ago and started to see these other areas of growth 1-2 days ago

I’m assuming this is because tiny bits of mycelium probably got thrown around on a lot of grains when I was figuring out how to bury the agar. On my first jar, which has the most growth areas, I can see a piece of mycelium on the glass from the agar that is slightly growing. The last three that I buried in one shake doesn’t have this happening.

Also, I have a jar I never inoculated as a control with no growth so that’s good lol

Please let me know what y’all think of that if that sounds like a good assumption of what’s going on. Thank you!

Other areas that see growth:

Although B+ is known to mutate, I think thats just mycelium dealing with less than ideal climate conditions.  Moisture stress often induces physical expressions like that.

Yep - thats normal when shaking with agar wedges.  I tumble my jars after inoculation so the wedge comes in contact with lots of grain and it often speeds up colonization.

Okay awesome, Thant is what I figured. I guess it’s not a bad idea tbh. Based off of colonization think I should wait a bit longer to shake?

You are correct.

My little dehydrator is maxed out and will be running for a couple days at this rate.

If I were to cut an appropriate sized hole in a plastic container (Bucket? Tote?) to expand that mf’er and fashion some trays for it - would there be any noticeable difference in run time? Or is 24hrs still the golden standard

One guy here just chucks them in the bucket with no additional separation and apparently it works fine? Anyone try this?

Yes that works fine. Might take a little longer but not that much.

Any advice on making such a contraption work it’s best?

If using an actual dehydrator as the heat source/fan and just “extending” chamber, would you advise replicating the same total venting space/perforations in the new lid?

I'm not really good with swabs.

One of the reasons is the %$#&! cotton gets stuck on my blade and almost refuses to stay on the agar.

Until today.
I unintentionally replaced my blade and the cotton came off rather easily.

Has anyone else noticed this or have a hack? I know stabbing the swab is almost foolproof but I just poured a bunch of "hard" plates.

TY!

Softer agar.  Alternatively, get some tiny pliers that are easily sterilized, and pull the cotten off, then drag it across your plate.  Your final colonies should be close to monocultures if you do it right.


--------------------
If you've never grown mushrooms before, here's how you start.  First, follow the Updated PF Tek, put 4 holes in jar lids not 1, and use a water tub! 
The next move is Shoebox Tek. After that you move onto grains, agar, monotubs.  Agar is easy, just do it.
