In about a week I will be trying my first G2G transfer and I have a related dumb question.

What is the best way to transfer colonized grain to the sterile grain jar? Do I shake up the donor jar, and then pour in some grains? Do I use a sterilized tool, like a spoon? Is an iso-sanitized tool good 'nuff?


Break up the donor jar.  Put both jars side by side and unscrew both lids but keep them on. Remove lid from donor jar and place upside down on top of the other jar. Pick up both lids at once, pour grains from donor jar in, place lids back down. Put lid back on donor jar. Screw both down.

Least that's how I do it.

Easy enough, thanks @Way.

Do you ever have a problem with donor jars getting too clumpy to break up?

(Well, I guess if I see that happening, at that time I can sterilize a spoon. I'll just have to remember to do a test shake before I load up the SAB with all the jars and tools.)

Yeah, it happens a lot especially if you wait after it has fully colonized. A lot of people bang it on the sole of a shoe or a bike tire. Just don't go too hard.

Makes sense. It's my hope to pause my donor jars in the fridge at just the right time and avoid over-colonizing... A topic that will result in another question and pic post later this week I bet.

Just make sure the shoe is on your foot. Don’t got to town on the jar with a shoe in hand. Lol I inadvertently made altford78 do that after mentioning I used the sole of my boot. His experience wasn’t what he expected. Lol

Thai Pink Buffalo growing in worm castings, calcium carbonate, and coir.

Humidified with a <1% bleach/water solution ~20 min daily

>>QUESTION: The tub has looked like this for 3 days now after rapid and consistent growth in the week before. Is this normal or should I do something about this?









I think it might be the pH, but it looked like this when it was a bit overgrown on agar.

It was an amazing experience I don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

I honestly advise everyone here to beat their jars with a shoe at least once a month.

If the myc is beading then I'd hold off misting for a while. Just make sure that there isn't too much air, so that the substrate surface isn't drying out too quickly.


I have the lid laying on top of the 2 closed latches, covered with a muslin cloth tied on top to keep out gnats. I can adjust it so its one latch on top and one beneath the lid.


Careful with that. Could end out drying out one side of your tub. If it is a true shoebox you can just leave the lid on normal and unlatched and you will get more than enough fae.


Can someone clarify what a "true shoebox" is? Couldn't find an answer on search engine. My thinking was either of these:

1. It is called a true shoebox because it is an actual box of shoes
2. It is called a true shoebox because when you unlatch the lid it still allows for FAE despite the lid being closed

My shoeboxes don't have holes anywhere & is still pretty airtight when unlatched, does this make my shoeboxes false

Edit: the word has entirely lost its meaning now gg me

Anything around 6 litre are shoeboxes, some had a picture of shoes on the label which coined the name. Boot boxes are larger. Slipper boxes are smaller.

A true shoebox, ie a plastic bin designed to hold shoes, is around 6 liters and had ribs in the lid that prevent it from sealing. You wouldn’t want sweaty shoes in an airtight box. Funky! In many environments, this has led to them being a pretty set and forget method of growing. Enough FAE, but it won’t dry out.

Now it seems anything around 6L is called a shoebox. Personally I think that leads to some confusion as noobs leave the lids on and don’t know why things don’t progress as expected, or it necessitates “flipping the lid” which often leads to drying out.

Any kind/size of tub can work, it just needs proper air/humidity management. The 6L Sterilite shoeboxes just happened to be pretty good as designed in many environments.

Forgot about the ribbed lids and some do have small vent holes near the handles. My wife is wondering why I’m currently looking at her shoeboxes and has warned me they are not available for my hobby.

Is there any way to prevent pulverizing mushrooms while storing?
They are so dry after dehydrating, that they crack so easily while putting them in vacuum bags. Even when handling the bags after sealing, they constantly break into pieces.

Can imagine keeping then whole for long. This normal?

Gallon ziploc with desiccant, then put that in a vacuum seal bag. The vacuum sealer wont crush the inner ziploc beyond the air that's in it. Kinda like potato chips in a bag
