A leading cause of bacillus in grain jars is a wet filter. if the filter material is in a position to get wet with grain juice when you shake, that is the likely culprit.  A wet filter, especially if it's wet from grain juice will colonize with bacteria all the way through.  Your filter needs to stay bone dry at all times.

With this said, is it then bad practice to ISO/H202/Bleach filters discs that currently have colonizing spawn beneath them?  Is there something about a wet filter that allows contaminants in even if it has sanitizing properties?

Yes most filters. If liquid pass through there not sterile anything not sterile on a high nutrients medium contamination after its been steriled

Folks in the US who have sent spore swabs: do you send them as First Class Latters with the non-machinable surcharge, or in padded envelopes as a parcel, or something else? If you send non-machinable, do you have to hand the letter to someone at the post office?

I could take the chance with the machines, but I think the 6-inch wooden ones I have would get pretty chewed up.

OK, thanks. Seems like a 30 degree bend through the sorting machine would destroy a swab even with padding, but I'll have to give that a shot.

Definitely my preferred approach (between folded card stock), but spores are more convenient in some circumstances.

Truthfully, I'd rather send prints or wedges, but sometimes I will only have swabs or just one print to share with multiple people.

I've sent both out in a little sandwich bag. Stamps mailing in a regular envelope with less issues then paying 14 bucks for any of the fancy methods.

Shameless crosspost. Posted in daily pictures but no opinions there so asking here too. First time using coir.

Are both these covered with cobweb mold or is it mycelium? Or something else? It's hard to see in the pictures. It's not as white as the mycelium, more grey, very thin and whispy, and the mushrooms took almost two weeks to pop up.

This is supposed to be APEU, looks nothing like ape let alone P.E.

COuld it be the spores were mislabeled ? Or is this normal for them to look so different?

The inside of the mushrooms is pithy kinda like p.e. .

:shrug:

There’s lots of different variations of it. It’s possible you got sent a different one.

When people grow a variety of cubes in tubs in the same room, you can basically consider all the spores as hybrid cultures.

Spore sales companies buy from individuals. The individuals tend to stack a variety of tubs all in the same space. I have yet to see any one grow space dedicated to one line of cubes forever and exclusively. There is a lot of cross over floating around.
