I'm planning on sterilizing honey/water solution in a glass shot, drop some spores from a print directly out of the pressure cooker and suck the solution into sterile syringes.
Will this work or am I getting into trouble ?

As a side question, when I will squirt out the liquid culture, can I let a bit of mycelium in the syringe, flame the needle and suck sterile honey/water to make it grow back ?



Spores are never sterile. Spores to LC, just like spores to grain, are very likely to bring in contaminant organisms.



:whathesaid:

Maybe even more so likely since much of the bacteria that exists won't move/thrive on agar/solid media and thrives in liquid.

Some bacteria I play with will do absolutely nothing on agar. They take over any amount of liquid in short order though.

Too dry. Looks matted. What size tote is it in, and how many holes, what size holes. Have you misted at all?



Monotub 20 litres, 1,5l spawn + 4l coco/verm, 1.7l of boiled water for pasteurising (now i know should have added more), 4 side bottom holes and 2 high made holes, 1.2' each. Haven't misted for first 10 days because humidity was good, but then drops from lid and walls disappeared, and i started light misting once per every 1-2 days.

That growth on the lower right of the top pic looks concerning. I would not act on it yet but watch it carefully for color changes.

Yeah. I run 20L tubs quite a bit. I’m using six 3mm holes down low and 10 up top. You’ve got a lot more FAE than I would use in a mono that size. When your sub dried up you misted, but didn’t dial back the FAE enough to keep it moist. Repeated cycles of wet and dry will mat the surface and IME reduce pinning.

You can keep this one around to see what happens if you like, but I wouldn’t expect much. You’re going to want to drastically reduce the amount of air getting in. May also need to rehydrate by bottom watering. Personally I would move on to other things and make adjustments in airflow for future grows. This was a learning experience.

Is this trich? Didn't start until two days ago and I noticed the sub was bruised blue where condensation was running down the side. Should I touch and see if it bruises?

Dang, thought this one was in the clear because the pins had started before any sign of the green. Thanks:fedora:

So, is this contamination? Natal Super Strain spawned Aug 29.

How long should I let my SAB settle before I start working? I’ve heard everywhere from 5mins to an hour. If I have all my jars and plates preloaded into the SAB then as soon as my hands enter won’t that just stir everything back up?

I have some mushrooms that have grown while I was away. Right now there are 5 with the caps flattened and 4 that are larger than 3inches but still have the rounded heads. The rest of the tub is largely empty with a couple small pins(?) that look like they will be popping up soon. The shrooms are golden teachers if that is relevant.

Would it be ok to harvest the ones that the cap has opened? Would that affect the rest of the flush?

Also, there is some black residue on the top of some of the flat caps. Is this most likely spores, or some sort of contam? I have noticed it in some other photos from the site so I'm thinking it might be normal.

It's spores. And no worried harvesting them now
