My interest has been piqued with instapots with regards to quickly whipping up a batch of agar/LC or even pasteurising a few jars of sub on a whim. For the price they are vs the hassle of dragging out the 23qt presto and turning my oven on (air fryer gang) everytime I need to whip up a quick few bottles of LC I think I may make the investment sometime soonโ€ฆ

I hope this is the right place to ask.

Quick background info

I transfered agar to 4 jars. (PC ed for 1h40min and left to cool over night)

Transfered agar to all 4.

Kept at temperature of around 20 to 25, in complete darkness.

2 of the jars got moldy within a week, no micellyum growth. (Same mold as picture below)

1 jar got mold the next week, almost no mycelium growth.

Last jar, looked perfectly clean with decent mycelium growth during these 2 weeks.

Now, 3rd week half a jar colonized, started to see grains getting moldy.

Few days ago, I turned the heating on and temperature jumped to ++30.

Noticed increased speed in mycelium growth, grew in 3 days as much as in 10.

Also noticed grains started to develop mold.

Can this still be used? or is kaput?

Mould=kaput

Those jars are fuckin FULL!

Leave some headroom in jars for shaking and air exchange.

The mould I would guess came from your grain touching your lid.

I take back what I said about the postal tyvek SFD's. those JF are kickin my ass right now, so it was definitely a agar issue for the other jars.

I know, I did left what I thought to be enough but clearly not not nearly enough.

But the mold is at the middle of the jar, as they are ~full how could that be the case? The mold would be at the top.

Whoa, hold the phone. Are people using air fryers to pasteurize sub now too?

Is coffee still being used for sclerotia?  I know this came up recently for cubes.

Did anyone other than RR do side by sides for stones with/without coffee soak?


I know that I answered on that other thread about cubes, but I have done coffee and no coffee for tampanensis and saw no difference. I started out using coffee because of old teks, was told it was not needed and found that to be true. ime. It didn't cause any problems when added to the grain hydration water, but didn't help either.

Adding coffee to coir substrate however, makes it nutritious and more vulnerable to contamination by competing organisms. I know that wasn't your question, but adding for clarity.

To be honest, the myc looks to be very rhizo. Usually rhizo is good but too rhizo could mean it's running from something funky. From my experience with it would seem it is either your grain prep or steril technique if your agar was clean. Do you have any pics of the plates?

P.S. Oats have done me wrong too many times for me to ever use again. It didn't matter if I pc'd for 3 hours @ 18psi they always had issues.

What type of filter you using? Were they covered in foil? what did the agar look like?

The mold wouldn't be from the grain touching the filter, but a saturated filter could cause mold to get through depending on the filter

@Nanutzu - It's pretty much toast.  You could maybe still top fruit it if the myc dominates the jar, but I wouldn't spawn it.

If I have enough substrate prepared, I dump questionable jars in a shoebox without any other spawn.

If it fruits, great.  If it doesn't, it becomes food for my worms.

Either way I learn a little more.
