I mean it sure looks like it colonized. What was your ratio? No top layer, it looks like. Misting is fine if the surface is too dry, but don’t fan it. More out of date practice.

I can’t tell what your surface conditions look like. Are there thousands of little beads of moisture on the surface?

Honestly not sure on the exact ratio, but my formula was
650g coir
2.5qts verm
5.5qts boiling water with bucket

Used about 95% of that mixture with 6 qts wbs grain spawn
No top layer because I ran out of substrate

There’s definitely some water beads across the surface but it doesn’t look soaked by any means

It doesn’t need to be soaked, it needs to glisten. No pools or puddles. Just needs to sparkle. But yeah man don’t fan.

6Q of spawn needs a minimum of 6Q of substrate. Sounds like you were under 12Q but over 6Q. Not everyone used a top layer but I personally recommend one going forward. Get an empty quart jar and measure your substrate too. 1:2 or 1:3 is good. 1:1 will fruit but you might not get a second flush.

I’d say your tub isn’t looking bad. Just make sure it doesn’t dry out.

Thanks for the advice. I didnt measure the sub because I didnt have any empty jars and I also needed to squeeze a lot of excess water out if the substrate, so I just used my hands. I guess it’ll be good in the future to know how much I’m using so I can dial it in.

Is this just a satellite colony? I don’t ever remember touching this part of the plate.

Appears ti be a satellite colony if mold. I would have transferred last time you posted, before they grew together. Transfer from the opposite sid3

What makes you think it’s mold? If so what kind of mold? I’ve never seen mold that looks this close to mycelium

Unfortunately, there is no one set temp, but from what I gather concerns begin right around 200F.

It melts at like 430F.  I wouldn’t think you’d see much change before then but I’m not a chemist.  I boil my tea and that’s 212F and it’s always strong.

Good point. I do about the same temp. The tip of the iceberg might be further up the scale to complete failure, but I noticed some strange things happened in that study when approaching 200F. I found the various formats of the fruit material interesting too.

:whathesaid: the colors come from spores of the mold. That's very disorganized growth, and if you didn't touch that part with the transfer then it's not cube myc.

Imho that’s an awful study. Sloppy. I gave it a look a while back. Might have written about it in the Advanced section.

In general temperature is not a factor in loss of potency. You can cook psilocybin mushrooms right up to the point they burn without impacting potency. Compared to moisture, oxidation, and sunlight, temperature is insignificant.

Regarding temperature, consider tea made from fresh mushrooms. Cook at a low boil for 15-30 minutes. That’s 212°F / 100°C. No one has ever complained about fresh tea being weak.

To the original question: don’t worry about it. Psilocybin won’t degrade before the mushroom becomes burnt from cooking.

Any tips or technique for swabbing caps with gills that are extremely small/dense? The head of my swab is probably the width of 5 gills

I feel like it is difficult to get in-between gills without destroying the gill tissue

I put the lids in the sink. The SFDs for most got quite wet. I ended up using soap and water to wash the lids and they were definitely pretty wet afterwards. Should I be worried or is this nothing to fret over?

Id be more worried about the integrity of the adhesive at this point.

I have ran my jar lids with SFD’s stuck on them through the dishwasher for 3 to 4 cycles before having to replace them. yrmv.
Just inspect them, if they look like they need to be replaced then replace them.
I’d rather put a new sticker on my lid compared to throwing out grains, I invested my time and energy into prepping and sterilizing
