I highly recommend a 8qt Instant Pot, just for agar and cooking



I'm going to check this out.  Thanks for sharing.



Long time Instant Pot user. It works 💯.
8 Quart model holds 4 quart jars.
Just snagged a Presto 23 super cheap. Loving it and still using the IP for agar, lc, tools.

Appreciate the response ReverendMyc.  I must have missed it in the other thread.



Happy to share. I hope I didn't sound like I was scolding. I thought this was a subtly different more specific question with a slightly different answer. Tone can be hard to interpret online. No chastising was intended at all.

Which grain is the most nutritious? Is it winter rye?

For our purposes they’re all way more than nutritious enough. So much so that optimization isn’t necessary

:whathesaid:

Wheat, millet, rye berries, milo:




When considering wheat, it roughly doubles  in size, so if you're using 4lbs of hydrated wheat, that's ~ 2lbs of raw wheat: 2lbs is ~900g. (For arguments sake, probs not 100% accurate, close enough)

The above outlines the nutrient content for 100g, so multiply those digits by 9; that's what's avaliable. Pretty nutrient dense, no matter which you choose.

Hello, friends!

I've seen some information on the site saying not to or that it isn't necessary to pre-cook WBS before PCing.  Other information - and more recently updated such as Frank's guide - say to pre-cook WBS.

I'm looking for the most accurate information (and a why if someone can provide one).  Could someone help?

P.S. Also, I need to buy SFDs for quart jars.  If someone has a link or suggestion, I'll take it.  Thanks.

Thanks for the link!  This post/guide from Yoshi was recent, too.  It sounds like both options are viable and it comes down to preference.  Does that sound like a fair assessment?

Last time (and my first attempt) to prepare WBS, they ended up a bit sticky.  I felt like it was because they cooked for too long, but I can't be certain since I don't have much experience to otherwise compare it to.

It seems most growers interested in producing as much mushroom as possible tend towards prep methods. That may or may not be relevant to you right now. Really it’s a balance of cost and results. Run whatever grain and established tek you like. Eventually you may notice one method or grain produces notably better results than another. Or one is easier / harder to work with, etc. Follow the teks and you won’t go wrong.

Prep or no prep, what matters is agar and clean cultures!

Prep is more established, but people have realized it might not be 100% necessary.

Enough people are doing no prep without issues. Millet is 100% easy peasy.

I run millet and have tried a variety of no prep water ratios.  Prep produces much better spawn for me. That said, at the end of the day, yes, what works best for you should be what you do.

Hi dear Shroomerites,
I don't like the look of this spawn, should I toss it?




Normally I wouldn’t be concerned with a yellow orange tinge because the grains appears to be hard red wheat, but
I see green, the circled area and elsewhere. Could just be lighting but I personally wouldn’t use it.
