The cakes shouldn't be in contact with the perlite. Use kitchen foil or a lid to raise them up.
Can't be spores since your fruits are immature... so yes, replace that perlite too.

Ok so has anyone here done pasteurization with a crockpot express? I'm trying to pasteurize some cactus soil to case some semps. But I've never done pasteurizing before. Is there an easyish way?

  • remove all chunks, rocks and stick from the cacti soil
  • hydrate to field capacity
  • place it in a ziplock bag and flatten it
  • shove it the dehydrator at 70C for 3hish or more hours, voilá


dry verm, heavy mist is best for casing Semps,IME... I already told you this, but your are stuborn :oldman:

There is an easy way if you have a dehydrator.

I am wondering just how heavily it was supposed to be misted though. I misted a ton and it still didn't form any beads, it seems to be humid in there. I'm using shoeboxes, currently I have the lid shut, is that too little fae for semps?

Roscoe has a nice write up. Small batch pasteurizing
I think I mentioned this to you in the Semperviva thread.

Edit: I thought Roscoe was in the tomato patch.

Yeah, Roscoe was tha man that came up with the practical Pasteur! thanks, R

No beads, beads just form on top of hydrophobic mycelium.
Vermiculite is very porous, easily absorbs water, and can hold 3–4 times its weight in water.
You want a layer of high humidity to promote pinning.
And yes, unlatch the lid or put a spacer of 1 or 2mm to promote evaporation/air exchange

Just made a connection at the farmers' market for bulk grains. They offer wheat, oats, rye, and I think spelt? all at $3/lb, and einkorn at $4. What does the hivemind like out of these options?



Pennock said:
I would look around more cuz thats quite expensive for grain. In the states at least you can get a 50lb bag of oats for like 20 bucks…. 50lb bag at $3 a pound is $150? That’s crazy in my opinion.


I haven't had much luck finding a local grain source. No bulk food/co-op stores near me that I can find. No feed stores in the city. So this is what I've got. I'm not really worried about the prices, just looking for recommendations on grains offered.

Getting a 30cc LC syringe tomorrow. I was wondering if I will be able to use 10ccs for example and then store the syringe in the fridge for later use? The person giving it to me said no since it is sterile and once I open it and use it contaminants can get in so I should use that whole 30cc. Just want to know others opinions and experiences.

1:1 shoebox with questionable spawn. 1/2" top layer of coir, spawned on 7/28. It looks to be doing great, as far as I can tell, but I was pretty conservative with the water due to the probability of bacterial spawn and was wondering if the more experienced thinks this looks perfectly on track or if I should dial up the misting. Ive just been giving it a quick spritz once a day, for the sake of replenishing any evaporation (AC needs to run around the clock). And if it looks good as is, then I guess it would confirm I didnt shit the bed here. Appreciate ya!


It will colonize better slightly drier. You are just about 100% so I would soak it. Probably spray it til it's darks and soaked today and most lightly for the next couple days.

If it's that dry all the way through you may want to bottom water before I pins.

Understood! I've only used millet but from what I've read I would think Wheat would probably be the best choice of those. Some seem to find oats hard to work with and rye berries I believe can be a complicated prep... If I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me.

I had the same problem the other week. I harvested a few tubs and around 600 grams of wet mushrooms couldn't fit in the dehydrator with the rest of them. I usually dehydrate for 24 hours. What I did was make a homemade bag with manila paper and put the wet mushrooms in it and I put it in the fridge with some paper towel on the bottom and top just in case it gets too wet. It was in the fridge for a whole day. It worked well for me. It's best to get it in the dehydrator asap though. Like the others said you can use brown paper bags instead.

The syringe is opened when he fills it. Use what you need. Wipe it down with oso/Lysol/bleach (whatever you prefer). Cap it preferably with a new cap and put it in a bag in the fridge.

The needle is trash and you'll need a new one every time you use it.
