So is millet sold as a bird seed? I'm trying to find it locally


Bird seed is (usually) mostly millet, but if you're looking for pure millet you probably need to find a feed store and it will be sold as millet.


And if you have to ask an employee to point you in the right direction, make sure you pronounce it "mil-lay".

Tried to make some agar dishes. Damn condensation, and I probably used a little bit too much food coloring, they are dark purple but looks nice. :grin:

How long do you need to keep them in room temperature to see if they are clean?

I often start using mine as soon as they are solid, but it's been a long time since I had a fresh plate contaminate. Usually failed prep will make itself known within a few days.

Why do stipes split and fray open? Is it because of rapid growth? I seem to see it happening at a bend in the stipe usually, in larger fruits, and am just curious.

Can I just grind this up with a bullet style grinder or would this type of rice not be ideal?

Grind away. If I was a mushroom, I’d eat it. It’s America’s favorite

I was wondering if somebody has a WBS specific prep guide?

It seems to be mentioned in a few TK’s, but as an afterthought or a note. I want one that’s aimed specifically at this.

There's also hamloaf's Super Simple, No Soak, WBS Simmer Prep Tek Like a Boss. Just to give you another option.

I'm a soaker, myself. But it just works better for my flow.

All the options just exemplify how easy WBS is to prep. It's why it's my go-to.

Is it normal to have something floating in the lc at the top? Maybe from the agar I put in there?

Re: Ask Quick Questions, Get Quick Answers [Re: Polkahontass]

In my (limited) experience with LCs, it's common for it to colonize the surface if I don't periodically agitate it.

It is a little strange to see that while most of the mycelium has settled though - I usually see it with fairly overgrown LC.

IME floating mycelium is usually mold if it's not very overgrown - especially when the rest of the mycelium is at the bottom of the container seperated by a thick layer with no growth at all.  Test it on agar and find out for sure.

Where do you guys source rye berries? There's a site I found (like top result for me on Google) that is 50lb for $34, but shipping is another like $35. Idk if that is within the realm of acceptable, or if I can do better.

Fwiw I'm almost done with my 50lb bag of oats which I could buy again, but I'm interested in rye.


Bump, hopefully it's appropriate. Got lost in all dat oat talk


Search for a local to you feed store. You know, like horse feed. They will have a number of different grains, usually what is grown in your area. Depending on where you are they may have rye, or not. They will have some selection of grain suitable for mush cult that will likely be cleaner than anything at TSC, and much cheaper than anything you have shipped to your house.

Today my local feed store had:

Wheat $16/50lb
Wheat bran $19/50lb
Oats $13/50lb
White millet $19/50lb
Their house mixed bird seed, no corn $14/45lb

The selection changes depending on season. They are very helpful if you have questions about availability, or if there are any additives. They also carry my bags out to my truck for me. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to form a relationship with a local feed store. They don’t care that you’re growing mushrooms. My place sells to a lot of small mushroom growers. They just like the sales.


Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah I went to my local feed store for my racing horse oats which I think was $20 / 50lb. I didn't ask about rye then but I'll definitely call and ask. I didn't know if rye was a common feed grain or if it was sourced like for milling / baking from say a restaurant supply. If I cant find any I'll likely just keep oating.(DFW Texas)

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).

Everything I have typed is purely fiction, and is purely for personal amusement.

If you're in Texas, the best place I saw online for millet was in Texas, called NRS. They have it $25/50 lb. online. It was the shipping that doubled the cost.
