I’ve actually grown aspergillus in my lungs before so glad I could get it out.

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?



You don't need to wait at all. Once you load stuff in, you want to wipe them down again anyway. Wipe down and place everything in your setup and this is your time letting things settle.

Open a few blank Pasty Plates and set them up top on a jar while you do this. Close them at various intervals while methodically wiping jars down and setting up. It'll give you a better idea of how freely you can move in there.

OK to consume fruits from bacterial mycelium?

Bacterial spawn doesn't produce bacterial mushrooms, dehydrate and off you go.

Would you speculate the potency would be greater or lesser than a healthy culture?

When making stir plates using fans does the size of the fan matter ?

Or could you use any size ? Smaller or bigger then regular PC fans?

I'd say it's a symptom of bacteria.

Does contamination hide itself in liquid cultures more so than agar? I remember dabbling with dextrose LC in the past, led to a major black spot contamination and I eventually dumped it. It was never utilized. I don't know if I want to try again with LC's if they are less consistent than Agar. I also don't have any needles so dumping questionable LC into a grain jar doesn't seem sane.

They are 100% less safe than agar.

You can't test an lc visually. If a plate is dirty you can see it right away.

That's why everyone reccamends only using agar to inoculate lc.

I'm not saying not to play with lc, just that sticking to agar to grain is a lot safer, and If you're banking on having fruits, then betting on lc being clean can waste a bunch of time and materials.

What I do is make sure I have plenty of a>g going, then transfer to a deep no-pour. And when it grows out clean I'll pour sterile water over it and let it colonize.

That way I have grain jars going and ready to spawn by the time I even use my lc. Try to mitigate losses.
Pretty quick to do and easy.

Bacteria needs liquid to spread. That's why prepping grain too wet often causes bacterial issues.  Therefore any bacteria making it to the lc will propagate way faster than it would on agar.

Is this a contamination spot ?




Did the grains shrink in the jar, leaving some more space?  I've seen some weird mycelium grow in the gap between a cake and its jar.  Maybe it can happen in a grain jar too.

I don't think it's mold, so you can probably safely spawn it.  It is a little bacterial though.

I made BRF β€˜pucks’ in 8 oz glad twist tops. They dry out quickly even with the lid on tight. I am dropping tiny agar pieces to clone the pins. Is this current batch salvageable?  They were inoculated a week ago and already look a little dry. Suggestions?

I'm moving on to other grains, I have my Pop corn tek down to a science and it does well but sick of paying the prices, I read that you get better yields with more surface area per jar too so....

I have a farmers exchange right down the street and they stock all kinds of grains I can choose from ... Oats, Millet, Rye etc and want advice on what grain I should switch to? Millet is 30.00 for 50lbs but it seems nice, the other grains are all a lot cheaper 8-15 per 50lbs . What should I switch too ?
