Hi, i have mexicana going for the first time.
no knots after a month, no smell (spawn smelled fine).
are they silently producing stones? how would i know?
are they waiting for cooler temps? (between 20 and 24C here)
any advice would be appreciated.

Agreed. The only reason I was going with a 2 1/2 inch depth is because if I went to a 3 inch depth, it would end up being like a 1:5 spawn/ sub ratio. Idk if that matters too much... If not, I'll go ahead and just make it 3" 🀷🏻

1:5 is fine.

IIRC, if you follow Stipe-n-cap's top layer/pseudo-casing tek it ends up at like 1:6.

Hey guys, first post here :smile:

I inoculated my first petris, and got my first contam ! I think it's also on literally my first plate, maybe second. I'm so happy!

Anyway, looks like a mold, maybe Penicillium or Aspergillus. It's right on the edge, probably got in when I lifted the lid to inoc. I can see sporophores (tight cluster of black dots in the center of the mold) so I guess the petri is toast, right? I mean to say, since the cube spores have just germinated maybe a couple days ago there is no chance the myc will be sufficiently established for a transfer before the mold sporulates, right?

If you can see the myc, you can transfer the myc.

Cool, thanks! I can barely see the myc but this mold is already ready to poop out a few million babies so I was kind of thinking there's no point. I'm going to pour and inocculate another sleeve today, once I'm done with all that and the petris are safely stashed out of the SAB I'll do a transfer as a test.

I'll see if I can get a pic, although it's really nothing you haven't seen 1000 times before.

Hi
I've read lots of different views about letting mushrooms drop spores before harvest.  Some seem to suggest it's just an inconvenience because they get all over the fruit, others that it discourages further fruiting.

I've got a shoebox running at the moment that's full of pins, but there's also a couple of the biggest fruits I've got so far (likely small by the standards of others, but to me they're awesome).  The big ones' veils are starting to split, so I'd usually pick them to be on the safe side, but I'd really like to clone them and won't get the chance to do anything that takes more than a few minutes for another couple of days.

Can I leave them until I have plates ready, or should I pick them before they dump spores everywhere and hope those following turn out well too?

(And yes - I know size isn't particularly relevant to potency etc., but they just look sooooo good).

Many thanks :-)

Purely a non-educated thought...but in regards to that, is there any harm in literally cutting the tops off and leaving the stipe itself alone until you're ready?

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

The idea that spores interfere with growth or pinning is a myth. You can safely leave the mature fruits until more have caught up, or just harvest them individually. Whichever you prefer.

My LC's seem to keep fucking me despite following the usual safety procedures (testing on agar, looking healthy but still getting bacterial jars) so I've decided to cut them out & just go agar to grain as my petris are rarely bacterial nowadays.

Anyone else do this? Is it viable / a good option for bulk grows? I'm thinking 20 dishes for 40 jars as I've got a healthy & fast growing isolate currently.

Probably also worth mentioning I was using fairly low quality oats (30m boil, dry & 2 hour PC) which I now understand can cause issues due to endospores so I'm now going with better quality wheat for my next try & a much more thorough tek.

Anyone with experience with the above methods, if you've any advice it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I recently tried making grain water LC with the soak water for my WBS, and I think I may have done something wrong. What is this film that is growing on the top of the grain water? It's been about a week since I dropped a healthy piece of Pan Cam agar with solid growth on it.

I have heard certain TC's say that spores dropping increase chances of contam, since there are certain molds that enjoy eating the spores, not sure how true this actually is, or if the mold is rare enough that it doesnt actually matter

Back again because a big mistake happened.

The mushroom environment got to 105 degrees overnight, currently I am growing tidal wave and I am scared that they are now dead. Yesterday it also got to 110 but I managed to lower it back to 80 before bed. I don't know if the mushrooms are doomed now.

Never liked LC’s, i a2g then g2g until i have enough spawn. The speed/convenience of LC has always been outweighed by the margin of error for me
