The shot glass is the move, one drop at a time is a pita. Every time i buy a syringe it's tempting to take some to grain because there's so damn much solution and it takes so little to get a culture going.

Syringes for PF tek, prints for agar. If youโ€™ve got leftover syringes, gather them in a bundle and give them away.

Spores are free for members who meet requirements. I love our trusted vendors here, but really once youโ€™ve graduated from PF tek spore syringes arenโ€™t that useful.

I know, I just prefer to get ape directly from the source. A couple other varieties caught my eye, but they were out of prints so I settled with an impulse buy lol. Partially driven by impatience :lol:

Two questions:

is it normal for stipes to be hollow halfway up or can I grow solid ones?

Instead of taking a spore print I can just use a sterile swab right? How long should I wait before streaking the swab to agar?

Stipes can be hollow or fully solid. Genetics play a role.

You can swab your fruits and take it directly to agar.

Thatโ€™s why I like to let my swabs sit for a week or so and dry out before streaking

When I remove micropore tape for inoculation, do I need to cover the jar lid holes again after inoculating?

If you're talking PF Cakes with a dry verm layer, you don't need the tape at all :thumbup:

I've got a two quick questions!

After inoculating my wild bird seed quart jars that have a layer of vermiculite at the top, the holes previously covered by micropore tape, do I need to recover the lid holes with more tape, foil, or anything?  I assume they stay open for air, but I'm not sure.

Second, I see a lot of TEKs saying to use about 0.25 CC per injection sight with the commonly recommended number of injection sites being four, so 1 CC per jar.  Is there a particular reason for that or is that just a minimum?  I'm planning to do 1 CC per injection site - 4 CCs per jar - simply because that's how much I have and the rest will go bad if I don't use it, so if the only issue is it being a bit wasteful I'm fine with that.

Thank you!



I think you're mixing teks.  A grain jar shouldn't have a dry verm layer. 

Spores to grain is a bad practice that will give you contamination.  pf-tek can handle it, but not grain jars. 

Using too much liquid when inoculating can mess up the water content and encourage bacteria to grow. 

Technically you don't need to MP tape the holes if you have a dry verm layer, but since that shouldn't be there, you should keep it filtered/taped.

These are my first fully colonized jars with oats, they colonized much different than my typical WBS. They look okay?



Also is this contamination or stress from something else?
Itโ€™s from a clean clone plate and looked great at first at 100%
But I forgot about it for a week on my shelf and developed a slight yellow discharge and shrank
I shook it when I noticed and it recovered to this state, shook it again recovered to its shrunken state again. Shook a third time, it recovered to this and metabolites(?) are still present.

Iโ€™ve read an even colonized bottom, recovery, and no rejected grains mean itโ€™s good to go, as well as that leaving one too long can cause shrinkage and heat can cause metabolites to developโ€ฆ which I did all of, but still looks sketchy.


Oats look fine to me.  Shoebox the millet just in case.

They will go bad and make you sick before not making you trip. The loss of potency is negligible

Really curious what hes cutting his mushrooms with, fent?

They turn black and rot if you don't dehydrated them. I'm sure you could still trip on them but you would probably get sick. Back in the day before people properly dried mushrooms vomiting was an expected part of eating them. If they are not properly dehydrated they are mushy and gross to eat.

There is really no reason not to dehydrated them in a dehydrator, they are like 20 dollars at goodwill. It's such a simple step I don't understand why people try to skip it after going though the rest of the grow process.

i agree with that post but ill add you can keep fresh shrooms in the fridge for about a week in a paper bag and still be potent.

one time i found some months old shrooms i lost in the fridge. boiled them up and tripped well enough but they werent to sharp but hey they were months old in the fridge:shrug:

I had two jars of a Clone, made from 2 plates from 1 sample.

I split them. None have contamed.

From Jar A, they look like this before I shook them just now. Surprisingly good on a no-prep oat tek.



Now, all from Jar B have mycelium that looks like this. It comes straight from the g2g grains.



Is that for sure a contam? Or a weird expression of mycelium? Shook them, will find out soon either way I suppose!
