First time growing experience mod tek
    #28389118 - 07/08/23 08:30 AM (1 year, 6 months ago)



Hi Folks, I want to share with you my first growing experience.
Spores were collected on a print from a B+ growkit flush, not sure if spores were enough I also added spores from the broken undercap of a mushroom- First error maybe. I let the spores soak for a day in water that had been boiled and chilled to room temperature. I soaked pop corn for a day, then cooked it in the pressure cooker until kinda eatable maybe ten to 15 minutes, let it drain and put in two small jars.
Pressure steamed for 90 minutes to sterilize the grains, let it cool overnight.
Next day I made holes in the caps with a bic pen and a hammer, covered them with a patch of a face mask, injected them with the solution and waited a couple days.
After germination colonization took off fast, maybe for the large amount of spores, at about 80% colonization i shook the jars and let it rest for another two days.
I collected manure from a horse stable nearby, only dried ones. Measured about the same quantity of grains in manure, broke it in pieces and took it to field capacity, mixed with some pearls of expanded clay. Put it in a jar. Did the same with some non acidic peat moss. Pressure cooked for two hours to pasteurize and let it cool overnight.
Mixed manure and grains and covered with a layer of peat moss inside the orange bag you can see in the photos, let it colonize sealed in an airtight container(danish biscuits jar) for around ten days when peat moss was covered about 60% in mycelium, introduced to FC by opening the bag at least a couple times a day, exposition to sunlight every now and then for a couple of minutes, room temperature between 24 and 26 degrees celsius.
10 days after I can see the first pins developing. Success!

Comments:
- Now I made another batch with a kg of parboiled brown rice, so far spores have just germinated
- Syringe too dark made me wonder if I would get pins at all due to genetic competition as said by RR- Got as much as in the grow kit so im okay, now I tried with less spores and will post results
- As I cooked pop corn, i didn't put enough water in the PC, started to burn the grains but it didn't seem to influence the process
- I could have made the holes before PCooking, now this time I did this, even though I haven't had a problem with contamination - (No laminar flow hood, no still airbox, operated inside a wardrobe cube to limit air flow)
- I used a tinted trash bag because it is what I had and was more of a proof of concept than a real attempt: I will be away for two months now, maybe ill put it in the fridge and see if it recovers in a couple of months
- Proof of concept was good, you can see in the pic pins growing, planning on doing a monotub or maybe various shoeboxes inside monotub in september-october

This shows that under non ideal conditions mushrooms can still grow and are resilient, any comments are appreciated, maybe it was just my first time luck!
