I have found the amount of time exposed to air more relevant to decreased potency than any temperature I would normally encounter during a drying cycle or tea boil. If you can boil it to make tea, a dehydrator running ~165-190 will not degrade the psilocybin much at all I don’t think.
Left to sit unsealed however, my fruit likes to wick up moisture like a sponge and lose potency even quicker.

First time grower - this is ~3 days since I noticed the first pins forming. Does everything look good? Anything I can do to encourage a fuller set of pins?

Does this look like cube mycelium to you guys? Possibly just carrying something along with it? It's meant to be PEU.

It's thicc as hell and quite puffy. It smells very mushroomy which I guess is a good sign. I've just never come across such puffy growth on an agar plate before.

It was covering the entire plate in one layer before. It's just all broken apart where I've fucked with it.

I just got a MSS of golden halo, and the spores are all in one clump and I cannot shake them apart. It also won’t sink to the tip, it’s like it’s stuck right below the plunger.
Is there something else I can do to break up the spores in the syringe?

Shake harder 😬

They’ll come apart, but man it’s a struggle sometimes

Tap it on a surface (your hand, a table, etc.)

Think of it like breaking up grains. You need more kinetic energy than a shake. So sometimes you have to bang it on something a bit.

Keep in mind it's small, so by bang I really mean tap. Not a gentle tap. But a few good ones on my hand usually does it.

Then I shake.

I see a couple uncolonized grains in the big ones. You might wait a day to see if they colonize. The others look ready. They do look a little baccy though. You'll get fruits still, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I'm assuming your filters are on the underside. I never liked that idea because if the filter gets wet it can wick contaminants into the jar. It's really hard to avoid getting them wet when you shake.

I have an apeu plate pin that is huge, but I’ve been crazy busy and missed using it (transfer/clone/noc) and now it’s on it’s decline.

Is a plate pin past it’s prime still good to transfer?

I know the pics and containers don't have the best visibility but does this agar look good?

Atl 7 on mea agar, was planning on knocking up some jars this weekend or does it need another transfer?

I was referring to this post:

QQ: Could you use a plin to streak a plate? This guy wouldn't come off the scalpel and I'm seeing growth where I tried to get it off before it fell to its resting place.

Will the likelihood you get increased contamination because you spent more time fumbling around with the inoculate across the surface of media? Yes.

I'm not sure what you were imagining, but I was (we were) talking about whether or not to wait for a plate to finish colonizing. I'm not talking about rubbing inoculate into every square inch of the agar. That's just silly.

Or maybe I just don't know what you're trying to say.

Not sure why the quoted post didn't show up
