Your closet is already contaminated.  Everything everywhere is contaminated unless you have sterilized it.  Your existence in the room spreads far more bacteria than that bag.  You get clean work by doing clean work, not by trying to control contaminants outside of your sterile area.  That said, being tidy and clean does help.

No, I do not think your bag is spreading bacteria if it is sealed.

I know I'm thinking like a grower now because hearing everything is contaminated is actually quite comforting :lol:


Thats incredibly fascinating that me in a room with the door shut spreads more bacteria than the bag would. Thats actually kind of mind blowing to think about.

And that completely puts my mind at ease over my closet for my next batch of jars.

Thanks for explaining it to me.

What contamination are you getting out of curiosity and have you taken your grain back to agar for a check?


Always the green.

Spawn looks good. Not hard to tell bad spawn. I only spawned the most recent batch to 1:2. Never put grain to agar.

Pretty sure its lack of fae. They grew all whacky, making loops back down into the substrate.

Ive been suspecting it. Took a trip to target to compare the purple handled boxes compared to the cheap ones i use. The purple offers a bigger gap. The tubs have a tendency to produce lots of condensation on the lids. I been choking them like a noob because I was cheap with my choice of boxes.




If your fae doesn't fix it, and you check your grains on agar, and you're still getting trich, try out a product called mgp+ by Dr. Myc! It's microbes and works crazy good for trich defense. It must be used with spring water and not tap water. Watch a video on how to use it. His instructions are shit on the package. And make a fresh batch every time you use it. This stuff seriously kicks trichs ass.

As it colonizes. That’s dependent on all of your variables.

Normally starts to be more visible once fully colonized

I've been having trich problems for months.

I doubled down on agar, and I have 3 clean plates.

I've been using oats, which I understand some people have problems with. I've been looking for Rye or other grains, but I can't seem to find anything reasonably priced near me. Closest analog I can find is millet, but it's like $70 for 20lbs. I tried it once but found the hydration iffy at best.

The only thing I can find is oats from a horse supply store.

Am I screwing myself by using oats?

I wash them really well, remove anything floating, boil until they start to burst and dry really well.

I really don't want to waste these cultures.

They're the same tub just one with flash on the picture and one without. But having a feeling like this culture sshit.  it was untested so no surprise there and this is all I get from it. It never turns green or anything. is this just some sort of white fluffy mold?


i see knots on the two bottom pictures.
you might up the fae ever so slightly (might need a gentle mist once in a while to maintain surface) and leave it alone.
it should flush

Naw you're fine molds are not a grain choice problem.

Hello guys, anyone has any idea of what could be happening to the mycellium on this plates?





Initially there were clean, wispy and even weak cultures but then they started developing these blobs and super thick strands weeks after the plate was fully colonized. I highly doubt these are contams because it took really long for it to appear and it started showing in all my old plates starting from the oldest one to the more recent. I don't know if the BRF agar could be the culprit.



Anyone knows what it could be? I want to know what is going on so I could decide if use them for LI or just throw them away. Thanks!

If you only have spores from (whats it called?) one genepool(?), one variety, one mushroom, is it possible to make it (much) more potent by selective cloning and printing or will they not change much at all unless you cross them with spores from a stronger variety?

Can you somehow induce mutations or is it just rare random luck?

When you put spores from a single print on agar, do they only mate with the most suitable mate, like feel each other out and skip if they don't match? Or do they mate with any? I've read that each spore have half the genes, so can you take two monokaryons from the same print and mate them and get something crazy? Something that otherwise wouldn't mate? Or can/do they reject each other if each others genes don't match to make a dikaryon?

Like this pale weak genetics I have? Will it always be weak or can I improve it?

You're getting contamination during grain spawn or after spawning to bulk?
