I think if I’m going to use GWA then I’ll probably need to measure, but I’ve never measured my water for a hot soak. It can be eyeballed so I eyeball it.

Anyway it turned out to not be coffee dark. It just looks like it in the bucket.




Mine used to be darker and I would use 1 ml per plate I was planning to make.  For yours, maybe 2 ml is better.  Then just fill up the rest of the way with water, until you get to the proper weight.

There's no perfect way to do GWA, so just go for it!

Cobweb mold?

Going to try my hand at agar plates, but have either missed the information, or no one has mentioned: how do I store (while growing) my plates? Once I put the spores on my Petri dish and seal with micropore tape, do I refrigerate? Keep at room temperate? Sunlight? I understand time will vary, but what conditions should they stay in?

Thanks for any assistance.

It’s mold.
Could be some type of cobweb, or young cobweb, or something totally else.. it tinges dark/grey toward sporulation. Either way, I’d say that block has seen it’s zenith.
Toss it on a day you aren’t doing agar work in the right size liner or reintroduce it to the nitrogen cycle somehow.

Okay I kinda figured it was done for. First time I got cobweb mold. Any idea where it could've come from? Bad coir prep? I do bucket tek to pasterize my coir. And have a dedicated coir bucket. Pretty sure I used this same coir on another tub. I'll have to keep my eye on my tubs the next couple days

Came from your spawn. Somewhere down the chain of custody you introduced contam. It isn’t cobweb, but it’s definitely mold.

Now that you mention it. I think the spawn came from an agar plate to 3 separate quart jars. One of the three showed very obvious contam that turned the grain yellow ish. I'm sure it just didn't present itself as clearly it the two jars that I took to sub. Also I just reopened the tub to inspect it more and noticed a gnat or some other small flying insects come from the cake. So I definitely royalty effed this tub up. Oh well on to the next. First time this had happened out of my 10-15 grows I've done so far.

Why does some sub just not want to form waterbeads? It seems like the myc just soaks it all up? Anyone know what could be the cause of this?


Ive noticed if the surface gets disturbed post colonization it wont form water beads. Probably the tiny little strands of myc get damaged and flattened. If it hasnt been disturbed i have no idea, never seen that.


Water beads are the result of a saturated substrate that can not hold any more water. or at-least it finds no where to absorb into the sub. afaik beading happens more so ontop of myc, much harder to notice on coir.


Thanks for the precise information huey

Is my flowhood slowly but surely scrubbing the room? Or is it a clean ice cube in a constantly re-dirtying glass of water situation?

I would assume both.  It should clean the air to some extent, but it'll never be fully clean in the room.

I would think it depends on the room, but a room is dirty unless you make a clean room. The only guaranteed clean is in front of the flow hood. Otherwise it's just "my room is a still air box" which isn't true. Cleaner perhaps but not sterile like in front of the hood. But hey, throw the hood in a small nonvented room like a closet, run it pointed at the back pointed at the door (so hopefully when you enter it's positive pressure) and throw some agar plates out for 30 min not in front of the flow.

My posts are long winded and dense.
Supplemented coir experiments< Currently ongoing spring 2026.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

Some drying questions... Does anyone know:

  • Do you always air-dry with a fan for a brief time before dehydrating?
  • Can you over-dry fruit using a dehydrator?
  • Is 95 degrees for 24 hours the best setting/duration on a dehydrator?

I do maximum heat setting of the dehydrator for as long it  takes to get to cracker dry, around 6/8 hours, depending on the size of the mushrooms.
