Speaking flow hoods... I'm planning to build one because OMGeffSABs and hundreds of pairs of gloves, tyvek sleeves, and drips of sweat!

Anyway, I read both a 6" and 12" wide (thick) hepa filter will work. Is there any advantage to spending more on a thicker hepa filter or does a 6" do the exact same job? There's all these specs but nothing really dives into hepa filter depth and pros/cons.

Please and thanks!


IMPORTANT! The filter and fan need to match. You need to know the static pressure of the HEPA filter, add in pre-filter, look at the fan curve of the blower you think you want, and see if they are compatible.

Nothing wrong with 'thin' myc, usually thicker myc is a sign of slight contamination. What you speak of is likely healthy and easier to tell.

Is this trichoderma ?
Can I wait some days for the shrooms to finish growing or should I toss instantly ?


So based on the advice I received here I let it ride and picked the shrooms today. The contam did colonize a good third of the tub and all shrooms around the contam went abort.
Also there was an horrible smell, I don't know how to describe it but definitely not your regular mushroomy cube smell. There was also a puddle of yellow-ish liquid which I guess are metabolites.

Now the shrooms I've picked have the same bad smell and I'm not sure if they are safe to eat. What do you think ?

Trichoderma is not toxic. If the shrooms aren’t rotten I’d say they’re fine.

I would say one week if temperature is like 28 Celcius, if temperature is like 20 C probably two weeks for cubensis.

For pans is like 2 weeks at 28 C and 3 weeks at 20 C.

If you go by weight, is a quart of grains the same weight as a quart of sub?

MicroMycelium said:
So then when people talk about ratios, ex 1:2, are they implying 1 “half filled mycoquart” for 2 regular full quarts coir? Or are ratios determined by actual volume?


I was thinking about this yesterday, and I don't know whether or not there is consensus on that.  I guess I usually do it as mycoquarts of grain to full quarts of coir.  I feel like it may be easier this way, but better the other way.

The other thing I was thinking about is, if you combine a quart of coir and a quart of verm, will you actually have 2 quarts of sub, or will it fit together in such a way that the volume increase would be lower?  I plan to test it when I spawn next.

Just had this thought while doing my first inoculation last night.

Does flaming the needle kill any of the spore that are in the tip of the syringe when you are half way (or whatever) through doing your jars?


old post of mine about this topic.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20878826

I use very dilute spore solution these days, and only 1-2 drops if possible. I currently am still working with a very old one which was repeatedly frozen, it is still viable and if anything I believe it is getting cleaner, I believe the freeze/thaw cycles are killing off more contaminants than spores.

I cannot think of an instance where it would increase, it would be the same or I would bet usually slightly less. Think of these things in more extremes, a quart of sand added to a quart of golf balls, it will not be 2 quarts. This example also make you think of the container shape too, a very tall and narrow jar may fit less weight per volume than a wide one, people have tested this before, and it can become important as some weight based recipes might be 110ml per 100g grain, or 105ml per 100g.

The verm from the top of your bag may have less weight per volume than at the bottom.

LousiWu said:I'm trying to figure out the PF tek, and if I understand correctly, you only use a few drops from the spore syringe.  Is there any reason not to try both?  Do a few drops for a PF, and use a bunch more for the UB?


one of the biggest issues I have with UB is people adding way too much spores. If you MUST try it then add as little as possible.

Presume your syringe has contams, if there are 10 contams in a 10ml syringe and you inject 1ml there is a good chance it got one. I get 25 drops per ml, so have about 1/25th the chance of a contam than if injecting 1ml (I do not want a lecture on probability, just showing what should be obvious).

LousiWu said:And lastly, is it possible to do an ultra-tiny "monotub" in something like a cut-off 2L bottle?  I just want to test whether I can get this to work, I can always buy another spore syringe.



these are small spice jars with ~7g of packet rice in each.

Not everyone is as smart as a TC… but we’re trying over here.
Going by weight is definitely the best approach.


I think using volume makes much more sense as the containers we hold our spawn in and the containers we fruit in are fixed volumes. How do you know how full your fruiting chamber of choice is going to be with 3000 grams of substrate and 750 grams of spawn?

Regardless I dislike the term mycoquart as well, it's just 700 mL of spawn to me.

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



You can see if it is even worth testing.

blackout said:
stick a bit of wood in the jar, which is semi submerged like an ice cream/popsicle stick or a wooden coffee stirrer. This will hopefully colonise and go white in the air above the liquid, and remain white for a few days after. This is NOT a guarantee that your LC is clean, but if it goes green after a few days after being white it IS a guarantee that it is no good.

As a test I recently did MS to 6 LC jars, using 1-2drops of a highly dilute spore solution from a homemade print. 2 jars proved good, white growth on sticks and grew fine on some grains. 1 was obviously bad, it was murky and did not colonise the stick. 3 jars have showed not growth at all, about a month on. The 3 no grows are a good sign that my spore solution was diluted to a level I was aiming for. The bad jar might well have had some good spores in it but the contams will more than likely takeover, which is why it is not recommended.

Are those packed quarts of sub or loose?  There’s no issue with using weight when it comes to the fruiting chamber. Most folks compress after spawning anyway.  Do what’s easiest and works for you. :shrug:
