Lion's Mane spawn stalled
    #28424524 - 08/07/23 04:21 PM (5 months, 19 days ago)

I had my first try at making my own grain spawn with brown rice about six weeks ago. I only simmered the rice for 10 mins, then removed and put into jars before sterilizing. I spawned some lion's mane I cloned from a store bought mushroom onto agar. It looked like it was going okay for a while. But it's been about six weeks and it looks like it stalled out. The rice looks pretty dry.

Any suggestions on where to go from here? I debate whether to just attempt to s2b (doing bucket tek but still debating straw vs hardwood pellets) vs making new rice jars and transferring grains? Or should I just pitch the whole thing and start over? It's all a learning process even if I fail but would love some advice on how to proceed next.

Here are 3 of the 4 jars. Not sure if you can even see the mycelium on them...

Looks fully colonized. Might not have tightened up because of the lack of moisture. Next time simmer for closer to an hour.

Send it to bulk and start your next jars from agar assuming you have a plate left over.

I actually have made two more batches of rice since then. 20 minutes turned out to be too wet. 15 mins seems to be the sweet spot. I have three jars of various cubes inoculated with LC that are good to go after 10 days.

Anyone have any advice about spawning lion's mane in buckets? Straw vs hardwood pellets?

The mycelium can be extremely whispy

In terms of spawning I´d go for woodchips, pössibly (not necissarliyy) supplemented with wheat bran. Buckets work, bags work and I found jars also do fine.
What are your plans in terms of fruiting conditions?

Checked out your post. Lots of useful info! Thanks for putting it out there. I’ve been trying to find a write-up like that for a while.

I just purchased oak wood pellets that I’m going to use with the grain spawn in a bucket. For fruiting conditions, I was going to keep it in my basement which runs about 65-70F and 70-80% humidity right now and just make sure to mist the holes to keep up humidity. I don’t have a Martha tent or anything set up at the moment to dial in humidity yet.
