Magic

Eyeball a quart jar and then add less so that you can shake.... viola you have an unmeasured magic number known as a mycoquart.

For me personally I consider a mycoquart to be a jar filled with grain to the 600ml mark on the glass. I have a big plastic cup that I've cut down enough so that when level it measures and pours that amount of cooked grain into a jar. Then it's easy to convert ml to actual quarts to know what your ratio of CV should be when measuring it with a big Pyrex measuring pitcher.

I just pour prehydrated grain into the jar up to around 3/4 full.

With millet I hydrate and fill to 400ml. With wheat and others 600

Ello, got some enigma going, already putting out these small little tendril like formations or early stage mushies, would that be the time to flip the lid and allow better FAE?

I've gotten started with agar and used a pin. It has nice rhizomorphic growth, but the growth is sparse (i.e., the strands have grown close to the edge, but there's plenty of space between strands - it's not a white covered plate). What would this indicate about the genetics? Should I go ahead and transfer one of the faster strands to a new plate?

Quick question.

What and why are there fuzzy blobs growing like that?

I'm misting twice a day, giving plenty of FAE. Packed the substrate when I colonized. I was going for a pseudolayering TEK like Stipe-n-cap, but I was bold to do so without a liner.



Edit: It's a B+ variety.

Thank you for that. Lots of helpful links. It's on now!

Here is the aforementioned plate:


Here is a LC plate I'm not sure about. All my LC plates seem very slow with just initial points of colonization. Should I transfer one strong spot to another plate?


Thanks so much. I really adore this board.

The blob and fuzzy growth can be a few things. Genetics, slight bacterial contamination from spawn, moisture/fae issues. What is your fae setup?

You got some ropes off that pin for sure lol I'm curious about your agar recipe? I would definitely take a bunch of transfers from that pin plate to new dishes. The LC plate doesn’t look immediately bad as far as I can tell. Try a few tiny transfers from it to new plates. More dice roll attempts is always better when your learning. And even if it goes bad, you'll still learn a lot so just keep making stuff, going through attempts, and stay diversified.

Thanks! :laugh:

I'm curious about that agar, too. I bought some pre-mades while I was in the process of ordering supplies. I messaged the seller about the agar recipe because interestingly only mycelium will grow on them. I tried germinating spores on them 3 ways: drops from a syringe, inoculation loop, and swab. That was a month ago and absolutely nothing has happened on those plates. No contam signs. Nothing. Could it have hydrogen peroxide? Seller says no. The syringe (from a shroomery sponsor) was good, though. It succeeded in a LQ and that LQ has inoc'd some jars with good rapid growth and no signs of contamination. Anyway. I'm sorry I don't have the recipe. I have since made some using a shroomery recipe and those seem to be doing well. I'm almost starting to think I just can't spot contams. Or I've been crazy lucky.

Hmm that's a little odd that spores won't germinate on them. Maybe their recipe has a high gel strength and lower nutrient ratio. Doubtful about the hydro peroxide. I recommend removing that liquid from your mind and this hobby. It really is useless unless you cut yourself you can then pour some on that. Lol If you're using an SAB correctly and moving through actions with good techniques then contamination will be the lesser thing you see. That's really what we're going for anyhow. On agar visible contams show up fast. Crazy color mold, satellite spots you didn't touch, slimy bacteria and clear slimy films. You'll know it when ya see it. Just keep going after organized uniform growth. Transferring small rice sized pieces if ur talented enough is better. Rhizo isn't the end all important thing to chase. Tomentose cultures produce just as well also. Making your own agar and doing pours or no pours when you're beginning is definitely the way to go. Standard 2% agar 2% nutrient recipe is fine. Sometimes dialing back nutrient to 1.5% can force more Rhizo growth.

How effective is lemon tek? I ground it to a powder and filtered it and the paste was very blue. Is it more potent to not filter it?

The difference is pronounced.

It comes upon you faster and harder than you would suspect. But it does take quite a bit off of your trip. I would say almost almost maybe 30% of the length is gone. But it is intense.

At least it was in my experience.

I meant if there's a difference to drink the paste too compared to filter it?

But that's good to know.

Also, is there a difference between 1g + 1g after an hour compared to 2g right away?
