Blades are at their best when you catch carbon shrapnel from cooling in agar :lol:


Trick is to get it so hot all the carbon flies off under the flame

:rollsafe:


I torch my blades to the point of them warping and falling off naturally.
Takes weeks. Months even.


Yeah, I've had a couple of blades just snap off while flaming

The only time I've thought of changing blades mid-session is when it's dull enough that I'm ripping entire chunks of rhizo myc from the plate.
But it's going to get dull again as soon as torch it so I never bothered.

I guess that's why you are changing blades mid session?


Two handles, two blades. It allows me two transfers with absolutely perfect blades from the start, and it also lets me work faster. While one blade cools from being flame sterilized, I have one already cooled and ready to go.

Blades and handles are cheap. No reason not to do it, for me.

Oh ok, I thought you wanted them sharp.

I just dip it in the agar of the receiving plate to cool down. :shrug:

I think a lot of people do that, yeah. I prefer it to touch as little as possible. Like I said though, it’s really just a frivolity. I allow myself to do it. It isn’t by any means necessary.

Nah it's perfectly reasonable, I mean those blades come in packs of 100 it's not like you are throwing away the scalpel handle.

I guess you are using a flow hood? Not sure I'd like to leave a blade to cool in a sab, kind of defies the point of torching it.

Nah, sharp doesn't matter too much, you can buy them blunted so they won't scratch pp plates. I just like the smooth surface tension pickup and release of a fresh-ish blade.

Once a picker always a picker. I see something I can pick or peel or scrape off and I do it. Often to detriment.

Shit man this is making me rethink how frivolous I am with my blades. I have a box so use fresh ones like they're going out of date.

edit: nvm, just read Smellyhobbits take on it, rethink fully aborted. I like to use a fresh one per dish when doing a2g.

Doing a water tub grow of BRF cakes covered in coir. The cakes don't seem to be colonizing the coir fully and are stuck in roughly the state in the pic below. Thy have already produced some mushrooms but aren't growing new ones.



Are they too dry? Contaminated? Any suggestions?

This is an older pic, the dark spots seem to have come from the metal grate they were sitting on before I flipped them over.

I cut off the weirdest part of my infected tub and thought I’d fill in the space with coir. It’s been generous so far so what the hell, even though I know the contam isn’t gone for good. Hey, I got 180 wet out of it, so for my 2nd box ever I’m not displeased.

The only question is, I cut off about 2 inches along the long side, do I center the sub and put coir on both sides, or just along the one side? And should I patch the surface where it ripped a bit when harvesting?


Bumpy bump :smile:

Speaking from a purely noob perspective - wouldn't adding more uncolonized substrate to a contaminated tub just provide more real estate for the contams to spread to?

What are y'all cooling your scalpel for? Only time a tool needs cooling is if you're gonna use it to grab spores cause ideally you're only grabbing as few as you can (so a red hot tool might kill em but a proper nichrome loop cools almost instantly anyway), plus getting that melted agar on the surface helps the spores stick.

If you're transferring myc you don't need to cool shit. Sure, it'll probably damage the myc more than a cool scalpel but really what's a few thousand extra dead cells?
