Hi guys,

Newbie here wondering if this jar is fully colonized and ready to be introduced into the fruiting chamber? The strain is Golden Teacher.

Thank you!


I'm pretty new here myself, but sir, you've got a pin/fruit right there. I'd say it's ready to spawn to substrate.

Awesome, thank you!

Is it still typical protocol to dunk/soak the cakes in water overnight before introducing to the fruiting chamber?

Thanks again!!

What kind of spawn:substrate ratio would you recommend for the jars I posted earlier?

Iโ€™d probably do between 1:1 and 1:2. They look a little baccy but letโ€™s check again once theyโ€™re fully colonized

This is a jar of nat on rye, inoculated 9/19 and shaken on 9/28. Recovery is slow, but uniform... Everything has some myc on it and it's still making progress. But it's recovering much slower than other varieties I have tried. First time with nat, don't know how it goes.

There are no other worrying signs like metabolites, creaminess, etc. It's just thin and slow. Should I worry or not?

I wouldn't trust that jar. I only have 1 nat culture but it recovers quickly and thick.

Myc usually grows in thicker. That light white uniform growth that covers everything right after the first shake is always mold ime.

If you have normal/average sized fruit then run them through a dehydrator for 24hr on maximum temperature setting to get them cracker dry. Once you done this transfer into a mason jar to seal air tight and keep moisture away. You could add a desiccant and oxygen adsorber pack for good measure and if you opening the jar often.

That will keep your fruits good for several years without wasting a second thought about it. Anything else won't. Vacuum sealing in plastic bags is only really working for a while if you use mylar bags. Glass jars with tight sealing metal lids are the best though.

Yes - as described in https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24179086&nbsp; Alternatively, I've successfully grated cakes (using a cheese grater) and mixed with coir at field capacity in shoeboxes - they don't produce much more, but it was good practice for me to get used to surface conditions.

Good luck either way :mushroom2:

Can anyone help with a QQ re grain to grain transfers?

The standard way seems to be to shake the donor jar to loosen the contents, take the lids off the donor and recipient, then pour a bit of colonised grain into the recipient before replacing both lids.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't open the donor jar on its side, and use a sterilised (heated to glowing) long handled tea spoon to extract a small amount of colonised grain, then tip a spoonful each into multiple recipients?  (I'm thinking that the donor being on it's side reduces the likelihood of contaminants falling in when the lid's removed and replaced multiple times, whilst streamlining the transfer process).

Thanks, and as long as you give a reason, feel free to mock me if the idea's stupid.

Hello,

I am growing on agar for the first time and noticed the mycelium stopped spreading out in a circle the last couple of days.

One part of the circle looks like it hit a point on the plate it didnโ€™t like and it looks like thereโ€™s now a growing v-shaped segment where no fluffy white mycelium appears.

In that area, Itโ€™s like the mycelium decided to keep spreading outward in a thin layer but not upwards to create the same white layer as elsewhere.

Today I noticed a few other small points elsewhere around the circle which look similar. Iโ€™m unsure if this means there are faster growing strains sprinting outwards or if thereโ€™s something on the agar inhibiting growth.

Itโ€™s no emergency since thereโ€™s still healthy growth, Just curious as this is new to me. Does this sound normal?

I've recently started cramming 10 jars instead of 7 on a heightened trivet into my 21qt Presto & with that I seem to be getting a lot of contam in jars during colonisation.

I'm not saying this is definitely the reason why, but it's the only variable which has changed recently.

My QQ is: Is 2.5qts of water, 15 minute vent & 2:15 @ 15psi sufficient when the Presto is that full?

EDIT: @Janus - I do this fairly regularly with my Oyster spawn as it's often over colonised & tough to break up & it works well, I don't even flame it just sanitise. Don't see why it wouldn't work for cubes but let's see what more experienced people think.
