What about the pot you use to boil water for bucket tek coir?  Do you have a dedicated pot you only boil water in for coir?  I had one but used it to cook when I took a break.  Wondering if I should go get another pot for water only.


My understanding of endospores is that they’re only hard to kill when they’re dry like inside grain that hasn’t been hydrated fully, I really don’t think that any residuals would survive boiling water very long


Ya ever left grain water out for a few days post boil


Open air inoculating boiled grain water with whatever’s floating around in your house? No can’t say that I have 🤣
But probably looks something like my spent coffee grounds in the filter after a week

I wash my oats with dish soap in the same stainless steel bowls that I prep my coir in, are you guys suggesting that the plastic absorbs nutrients?
I have two massive ones I use as catch alls for everything in the kitchen including dishes I’m cleaning.


Plastic is more susceptible to micro-abrasions than something like steel. Even if you can’t see obvious gashes in plastic, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Micro-abrasions can hide bacteria and fungi, and that’s why professional kitchens have dedicated cutting boards for raw meat. So even if the bucket looks good, it might not actually be.

There should at the very least be a coir only bucket. I’ve kept coir in a bucket without a lid in a moldy ass basement for weeks and saw zero contams.

You mean the stuff I’m going to add agar to and then introduce it to temperatures that are over 100 degrees that bacteria and fungi can survive at?

Yeah, I’ve done that.

QQ
Is there any significance to adding a casing and manure to cube subs if I have some extra? Or is it as negligible as gypsum nowadays? What’s the consensus? Any evidence that yields are improved even slightly? Running tamps cubes and nats with some manure I had left over from pans but would it even do anything?

Id say its normal. Sometimes the shrooms just come in small. It can be caused by genetics or overly wet sub


The good news is small shrooms often make up for  what they lack in weight with a little extra potency.

Is it recommended to have a strictly water boiling only pot for boiling water for coir?

Like, if I had made pasta previously, even if I washed it, there could be leftover starch that could cause contaminations?

I suppose it all comes down to micro abrasions. Better get a coir sponge too for cleaning the hard water minerals out of it and store it in a vacuum 🤣 I’m just trolling.

If it did anything we'd still use it, it's not better not worse.

Well that's good to know! I kinda did overdue it on the field capacity when adding water. I tried my best to squeeze out what I could. Anyhow, when it comes to a second flush. Should I just mist it very well, rather than dunking it? To help let the sub dry out a bit. I just took the lids off my tubs to help dry up a tad bit. It is pretty wet in there.

I don't know about any consensus but I have used my left over pan hpoo/coir sub to grow cubes, tamps, and subtrops. If you use all the necessary precautions for a nutritious substrate, they work just as well as plain coir, but none were any better ime. That is just a whole lot of extra work for no detectable gains, so I would only do it if I had the extra prepared substrate lying around and was short on coir and time.

I have used jiffy casing, no casing and pseudo casing for PE and again, just extra  packed down coir did as well as jiffy and a little better than no casing at all. So I don't bother with extra steps there either, now.

I always at least pseudo case with a top layer of coir to cover exposed grains for all species. And usually use some kind of casing for exotics.

Oh I heard you right.  I have worked in a number of big name kitchens and while chef might fire you for calling his towel a rag, no one cares what cutting board you use as long as the orders come out in time and the floor drain is clean.

I was working the last few days and didn't really have time to harvest so spores dropped everywhere.
Are these mushrooms still edible after I dehydrate them?
