give it time, looks good for now - it can take even 1 month if you do not shake etc. everything depend on genetics, temperature of incubation and moisture content inside.


You don't shake PF cakes, that could potentially cause the dry verm barrier to fail.

If you inoculated with a spore syringe rather than liquid culture it will take longer. My jars took almost 5 weeks to fully colonise.

So far from my experience, the further along the flush train you are, the more the tub puts all its energy into fruiting like a handful of really massive fruits, instead of the canopy or close to it on the first flush.



Yeah that seems to be exactly what's happening with mine. The first ones were super fat  canopy'd much more , had no veils and didn't drop any spores.

The second flush is completely opposite. They are tall. Skinnier.  just a couple big ones. They have veils  and they are dropping spores.

My aio bag has some spots that that aren’t colonizing, but I’ve already started seeing pins.




Is this an issue?

Im new to this forum, and growing mycology.
I live in western NC, and was just able to return to what’s left of my home. I harvested some from this box the night we had to evacuate. 10 days later, and the caps are very dark. Can I still harvest and consume these? Thanks in advance

Absolutely, those are just covered in spores.  Spores are edible, no worries. 

Hope you didn’t get hit too hard and all of your people are safe.

I'd like to fruit the best sectors from this plate, in the hopes of getting some winners to swab/print/clone.



My question is which would be preferable?

-Transferring those sections to agar, let it grow, then using that to inoculate grain jars

-Use pieces of this plate to inoculate jars

-Use a piece of this plate to inoculate LC broth (small amount to test at first)

I have not fruited this culture yet, but all the plates I have made with this LC have been clean through multiple transfers. This sample looks the best and has grown faster than the other 2. I would greatly appreciate some expert guidance on my next move.

If your goal is diversity for clones, I would take tiny transfers of each of the most aggressive leading edges to new plates and then dice the rest up into a few wedges and drop that into a couple of grain jars. That way you have preserved all of the genetics and don't have all of your eggs in one basket.

I wouldn't wait much longer to get those tiny transfers, though. That plate is getting pretty grown out.

Grab a bit from the 9, 10 and 12 o clock and put them on their own plates.

Since its a t2 (second transfer) I wouldn't quite trust this on grains yet. If you have a spare jar ready then why not. But I wouldn't necessarily use it for g2g. The next agar plates from the sectors above, then sure be confident with it.

So, don't make LC yet, but you can consider it based on your next plates.

If you are confident that the LC you have is good, then  you can inoculate more LC with that. If all of the agar plates are fine then it's probably a safe bet. Just a tiny drop should do.

Overall, my advice is don't grain to grain unless you are VERY certain that you have a clean jar. Starting off with a grain lot that is a tiny bit bacterial sucks.

Are you going to use your current LC to inoculate grain jars? What is your plan for your first batch of grains?

:whathesaid:
Never would I ever ... make an LC or g2g with a culture that I have not grown out yet. Once it is a trusted culture and you are 100% confident in your sterile tek and grain prep, then move ahead with mass production methods.

No sense in mass producing a culture that fruits poorly or has low potency, imho.

Only exception to that is g2g from halfpint-2-Qrt jar in order to run a shoe box. But not bulk g2gs.

That sounds reasonable. I don't see the point if you are already working agar like the op question. Feels like extra steps, but no shade from me.

I see Baba doing it with brf pucks for exotics and I like pucks and admire Baba. But I still don't like doing anything that includes breaking up brf because it defeats the inherent bacteria protection in brf. So I would leave that to the more experienced growers. Just my 2 cents.

Pardon the blur & low light, but is this vert or something contam-esque on the cap?
Golden Teachers, PF Tek, second flush. That cake really wanted to have a big lump of mycelium hanging off the side, so it's more of a "let's see what happens" cake than a pharmacy.

Is this an issue?


usually that's a sign that you got some bacteria in there.

However the one thing you got going for you is it looks like an all in one bag so it's already been broken up and it's not going to be broken up anymore.

You're basically top fruiting it which is good. The bacteria may stay contained and The fact that it's already showing pins is a good sign. I would just let it ride. You may get a decent flush.  g out of it. you've made it this far.
