Replying to myself to hope someone else notices and helps…



At spore stage they dont need light, nor refrigeration unless you are trying to slow their growth. keep them in a dark 70-75'F room.

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.



I store my plates at room temp. Keep them out of direct light.

So I started to notice that in my modified monotub beneath the air filters the mycelium is way different then where no filter for FAE are. It looks fuzzy and a little proliferous.
Should I go back to just flipp the lid or what’s your diagnosis and recommendation.
Thanks a lot in advance.

FFU's are designed to sterilize air intake for sealed clean rooms. "Nuclear grade"

It is indeed cleaning the air wherever it is running. It is not adding anything to the environment and if it was it wouldn't work for sterile culture work.

The potency of some of my flushes has been lacking, I think.

I guess if that is the case, starting over from spores is the way to go?

At least I have some Natalensis jars growing.

Back to ask again about my popcorn jars. I already shook the others right before taking the picture so you can’t really see too much there in it but the one in the middle I didn’t shake again because it’s almost complete and already got shaken up a few days ago. Just making sure it looks okay because this is how all of them looked before shaking them.

I'm suspicious of the schmutz on the jar in your first pic, but I have no experience with popcorn so wait for a TC or someone to chime in.

I thought it looked alright! I know people hate popcorn but once I find a PC I plan to move on from this and BRF. I just don’t want to try things that I know for a fact will always contam out if I don’t PC it.

Popcorn even in the PC takes the longest to sterilize. You'd still do better using oats or rye or millet or any smaller grain. Corn is dense and it takes longer for heat to penetrate. If you are able to sterilize corn you are able to sterilize any grain.

All in all though that popcorn looks pretty good for popcorn and very good considering you don't have a pc which I was unaware so hats off.

Well fuckin’ thank you! Making me blush and shit. lol. Maybe I could use some WBS or oats without a PC if it would take less time to sterilize it than the popcorn. I’ll test it out. I boiled it for an hour or maybe a little over then drained it for 45 minutes and loaded it into my jars and steamed it around 2.5 hours so I’ll definitely try some other grains just to see what happens.

You are likely still running on beginners luck entirely. Definitely get a PC if you want good consistent results with any grain.

Steam can work but run times for steamers are usually around 24 hours to sterilize grain properly (in an insulated barrel).

Oh I’m sure it’s a lot of luck. Considering so far all 13 or so jars look pretty good I’m sure I’ll run into some problems soon enough. I figured it was worth trying until I can get a decent PC though. Worst case scenario I get just as many shrooms as I have now and best case I get more than I have now. I appreciate the info. Thanks guys!
