I’ve read that but the larger point is if you’re dehydrator can get to 165° then use that. Your dehydrator isn’t going to burn your fruits. 145° for a longer dry time can work, but the faster you dehydrate them the better 👍

Could I get a check on my first two shoeboxes? I'm wondering if it's contam but hoping that it's just dehydration. The fuzzy feet on the right side of the second image concerns me. Should I wait more or harvest what's already there?




Edit: These are APEs, grown with UB. I know, a little ambitious, and easy for contam to happen but hoping it pans out.


all im seeing is some ape aborts. nothing i would worry about, but id harvest and dry the soft ones and the dark ones before they start to rot

I'm trying to tell you that's all unnecessary. Wash your hands and forearms.

I use my sab naked 90% of the time so sweat ain't an issue.


You can have fun with that. I rather not risk 4 lbs grow bags and all that effort for a higher chance of failure. No gloves is risky AF IMO. No sleeves? That's fair, but I prefer to stay on the safe side.


most gloves are poorly fitted and most people wear the wrong size. having clean, washed hands is much safer than having little dangly bits of rubber hanging from your fingertips interfering with things.

same thing goes with food service, working with food gloves give a false sense of security when worn constantly and are a major source of cross contamination because you can't feel when they get dirty.
without them, you wash your hands more frequently.

I still iso my hands and tools before I get started, and wipe anything I'm about to open in order to kill any bacteria i may have picked up from the sink handle, or my doorknob, but anything that's not either a transfer or a sterile tool should ever go over any media. 

its simple physics we're working with. you don't need a bunch of sanitizers to grow mushrooms.


washing your hands removes everything, sanitizing them attempts to kill everything.

big difference IMO

Thanks guys for all your input regarding your SAB procedures, I appreciate the insight and will adjust as necessary to make things easier on me, less time consuming, and less material use. I did just pour 40 agar plates with only gloves and a mask, forget those sleeves causing a sweat fest lol.

My last remaining question... Do ya'll wear a mask? I imagine that of all things, breathing around the arm holes could cause some disturbance in the air and rustle up some microbes while doing work. I look in front the front, not the top.

Edit: Oh yeah, who uses a towel at the bottom of their SAB vs who doesn't? That's one thing, including spraying inside the tub, that I never did. I have wondered if it's beneficial to have a towel down.

Apparently it's time to fine tune some techniques now that I've got some XP. :thumbup:

I use a couple cookie racks, no towel. Rarely spray.

Of all the disposable things we're discussing, a mask is probably the most useful, but I don't use one in a sab. If I need a big breath, like a sneeze or a cough, or just a deeper breath, I just turn my head.

But a nice stable breathing pattern goes a long way.

No towel, no racks, no mask. I have a granite countertop that I wipe off and then I get to business.

I do have a rack in my SAB and I line the bottom with paper towels soaked with soapy water to help contain any particles. Load it with all items needed for my session then let it set for 30 min or so before I work. Sometimes I’ll take breaks and let it settel again. Most action done in the box now feel like muscle memory.

You realize that thread suggests that this kind of growth isn't Mycogone at all, right?

I use a rack, never spray, rarely use a towel, but always wear a mask, and usually gloves.

I meant it looks like the tub in the link, and what has been called mycogone. Not that it is mycogone.

I put two whole agar plates in one quart grain jar, this should facilitate faster colonization right?
Reasoning was I have 3 grain jars made from a T0 clone plate and g2g transfers…
I took a T1 before making the T0-jar, went to T2, and after I did a T3 transfer I put the T1&T2 plates in the same jar.. both were fully colonized, I just didn’t like how thin the mycelium looked.

2 plates in 1 jar is total overkill to be honest.
But it's hardly an issue.

You need to add a bag with holes to maintain the correct environment as well.

Why do you think gloves make things more sterile?


I don't think they're absolutely necessary, but I'd assume they ability to wipe them down with iso easier is a benefit. Have you seen how nasty our hands are under the scope, like nail beds and such? All those grooves and cracks have to be harder to sanitize. I doubt it matters much with good technique, though.
