lots of yellow
    #28688508 - 03/06/24 09:54 AM (10 months, 6 days ago)

Hoping this is something I am able to resolve, as this is my first time trying to grow oyster mushrooms, and it's about the worst grow I've ever had, but I have a chance to try again!

I have grown lots of cubes over the years using PF tek and spawning to bulk, but this was the first exploration into other mushrooms, specifically oysters, as I heard they could also be grown using the same method (I don't have access to other methods right now, so if my problem is just that this tek won't work for these mushrooms, I can live with that!).

I inoculated 4 different sets of jars: 3 cubes and the 1 batch of golden oysters. The cube jars are all slowly developing, but the oyster mycelium took off - but then immediately went very yellow... and that yellow now looks like a very nasty brown....



Now, if these were any cubensis jars I had done in the past they would be ditched right away, but forgive my ignorance having never tried oysters before.

To me, these seem beyond saving, unless someone tells me this is normal...

But I also have a question, for if I try again. I ordered two syringes - golden oyster and pink oyster, so I have the pink oyster syringe to try again. They also threw in a black morel syringe as a freebie, but all of these syringes had this kind of yellow tint to them.  Is this normal? Part of the reason I was able to forgive some yellow in my oyster jars at the start was the liquid in the syringe looks very yellow or orange....




And I guess I'm wondering - if I can get a substrate to grow the pink oysters on, will this not also just turn yellow, because I'm putting yellow liduid into it?

Sorry if any of this is hyper obvious, or I've done something clearly wrong. Really was hoping to be able to expand into growing regular mushrooms. (I read a note from RR that said growing oysters on PF tek won't really yield anything, but is just for viewing the life cycle of the mushroom - which works for me, but won't be possible if I'm going to run into contamination.)

the oysters developed much faster than the cubes as the oyster syringe is LC. those are already starting with mycelium, unlike having to germinate spores.  The liquid it is in has some nutrients so it can stay alive until you use it.

i do not know enough about oysters to make a judgement on those jars. perhaps a thread in the gourmet & medicinal board would get you a better answer.
