Your old flowhood was kinda scary.

I ended up taking the ttbvi culture you gave me to water agar and back to 1%.  The morphology changed a lot.  Which could be less genetic diversity in the culture from the transfers.  Or bacteria that was ditched along the way.

Here's my dirty coir check list.

are my cultures clean?

is my spawn clean?

is my bucket clean?  (I've seen even old hands make this mistake, soaking grains in the same bucket you make coir in for example is a contam vector.  so a dedicated coir bucket is good since it will never need cleaning)

am I using a shitty brand of coir that probably has stuff in it that's not coir that stuff will germinate on?  (cocobliss off amazon works fine for me)

Have you tried properly pasteurizing some coir to rule it out?  I did this at one point when I couldn't figure out where the green was coming from (it wasn't the coir)  If you pasteurize it, and it still goes green it's not your coir.

Back to the good coir bad coir discussion. One thing I’ll say is never say never in this hobby. Sure 99% of the time it’s not the coir, but sometimes it is. And not all coir is the same. I had a terrible run of mold that I traced back to bad coir. I’m not saying the mold spores were in the coir, boiling water bucket tek should kill those, but I do think some coir has more available nutrients than others. Some airborne contaminants are quite happy to grow on some brands or lots of coir.

Yeah, I don't think it's if trich is added or not (boiling water should kill those, and they're in the air anyway)

But rather, is all the bullshit removed before it gets compressed?  Are they manufacturing anything with high nutrient density in the same factory?  With the same equipment?

Or, perhaps, how many of those coconut husks have traces of flesh still attached that may have, I dunno, grown trich? Only to be blended into the mess...

How important is it to use distilled water for your agar (if at all)?

I've seen recipes with either distilled or tap water and i am confused.

Not important at all for agar. Just regular old tap water works just fine.

A week ago, I prepared a syringe following blenderless liquid inoculate tek. I tried to inoculate an agar plate with a single drop and much to my surprise, it's not growing anything at all.

I used around 100ml of water and half an agar plate. When I was done, there were so many strands of mycelium floating around in it.

Any tips? Less water, more shaking?

How long has it been?

Try another drop or two? For 100 ml of water halfwaya plate sounds more than enough if we're talking about a 100mm petri. Definitely shake that some more.

Good on you for testing btw.

How many cc’s of liquid spores should I inject into a 3lb sterilized grain bag from north spore in order to inoculate?

Welcome to shroomery. Please edit your post to remove the vendor name as a courtesy and take another read over the rules.

For a bag that size I would use 1 cc. You may see advice that says 3 ccs but 1 will do. Inject against the side of the bag so you can see the solution roll down and see growth as soon as it takes off.

Also, we generally don't go spores to whole grains so cross your fingers. Petri dishes with agar are a great place to start with spores. The hitchikers guide to the shroomery thread at the top of this board can direct you to more info. Good luck!

The whole thing here is that I’d rather change coirs before resorting to pasteurization or even boiling water. Which I do neither as of now.

I'm saying just as a test run to rule it out.  You can do small batches in a dehydrator.  If you modify a tray you can do larger batches.


Like this.







Run a few cultures in six qt totes with 2" or 3" substrates so you don't have to fuck around with dub tubs.  If they do well compared to your non-pastuerized tubs switch brands of coir.

If they all green out too it's most likely your cultures or grains.

I would recommend a picture of the actual mushroom not a screenshot of a video if possible. 2 closest mushrooms look totally fine the farthest one could just be a weird mutation or could be bacteria or something. Hard to really tell from that picture.

Thanks I'll try shaking it some more and use more agar next time. It's been 6 days now and my no-pour plates are 80mm, but it seems close enough?

I'm not sure if this is important, but I prepared it 24h before use. I wanted to use it the same day, but I ran out of plates.

Thank you!!! I appreciate that, and that's exactly what I was saying...it needs light, but not a religious 12/12.
Duh, forgot all about the timer...
The light is. A 200w equililant but it's LED , plenty light with even some earth!
