Thanks, I found some other lids, reviews saying it's the same lids from different brand. Do they look okay?

Those should work just fine.

Hi,

My First post.But i am a Long Time reader.
I grew a few mushrooms from time to time but never really professional. I am not an experienced grower. I never did agar.

I tried to reactivate my LC that sat in my fridge for 3 years. The mycelium grows well but when I put it into fruiting conditions it grows only 1 or two mushrooms and then turns green.
Can this be caused by the old liquid culture or is it likely my incompetence in providing the perfect fruiting conditions?

Also I started a new liquid culture from a spore syringe I bought 3 years ago.it was stored in the fridge. I know I should not do it like this but it worked before and I never did agar. I inoculated different Substrats with it. It all grows suspiciously fast and looks different to what I am used. It smells OK.



Is this good or should I throw it away?? (Substrate is popcorn)


I more used to the mycelium growing like in the following pic. (Substrate is brown rice + coir)



Thank you for your help.

For how long can i dry them on 158F without fear that i won't harm them somehow, that they don't lose magic? And i know that is 24 hours enough for drying, but still??

Don’t worry about potency loss from your dehydrator. I’ve left mushrooms in there for 2-3 days because I am negligent and it’s never a problem.

They’re inherently going to loose compounds. Dry them till cracker dry for best long term storage. Fresh is best, but that hardly ever works out perfectly

They're growing pretty slowly, the picture is 5 days from the first pins

What I'm asking is, will these lids fit the jars I've selected?

Those are the good lids :thumbup:

Don't worry too much about those amazon spec lists, they are often hilariously incorrect.

How it looks?

The nats and JF have multiple colonies of bacteria, but the mac looks fairly uniform and clean.

Like lew said, try to focus on taking as small of a piece as possible.  You can literally scrape the myc with the tip of your scalpel, then scrape a fresh plate, and the odds are that it will transfer your culture.

Ya my highest temperature is 176.
So i run it at that for 36 hours. And I never have any problems with loss of potency or anything else.

Obviously 36 hours is not necessary but I'd rather dry once than have to worry about redoing them. I find the extra 12 hours takes care of this. If Your shrooms aren't dry by then then they're too big and you need to cut them up.

Those will work fine, and at a better price! Happy cultivating!!!

80% failure rate.








I dont have pics of the agar but it was just generic, clean round symetrical LMEA plates that dont contam even when saved for months after use. As a test, Ive kept blank agar plates open while doing a2g and contam never shows up even months later. It will show up if i cough on it. All my jars colonize the same, look the same. They always get trich right when fruiting should start. Ive used sfd stickers, sfd discs with atv glue. My success rate with agar is 100%. My jars always colonize within 2-3 weeks. Always look clean. No grains against glass. Before the shake prior to spawning I check the headspace above the grains for any stray uncolonized grains against the glass or inner lid. I also remove the agar wedge with a spoon. I spawn to coco bliss coir prepped via bucket tek with 4.6x its mass in water. 1:2.5:0.5 (1 qt spawn mixed with 2.5 qt coir pseudo cased with 0.5 qt coir).

I delt with this issue when first coming back to cult except had 100% failure. Went to about 100% success (all spawn yielding 1 oz dry or more) despite not really changing much. Now, inexplicably back to huge failure rate. I use pennington wbs prepped fooman style PCed at 18 psi for 2 hours. One piece metal lids with sfd sticker or atv glued sfd. Spawn to just plain coir. Everything always seems perfect. Everything colonizes well, surface conditions are good. Then bam, right around the time I expect fruits I get trich.

People are going to tell me my spawn is off but it looks no different from when I had high success rates spawning PE to a 1:6 ratio.

On the bright side, over the past 2 years I have grown more mush then I know what to do with in 10 life times. I could get out the game for awhile but I genuinely enjoy the hobby and would like to figure out why I cant grow consistently even at this point. After my past success throwing up canopies of harder to cult mush like pans, nats, enigma, and penis envy.

If anyone has any out the box ideas im open to listen. Someone recommended I spawn infront of a flow hood. I like the idea but am not open to purchasing one.

Hello, I've been feeling pretty confident about my process so far but would love to hear any input. I got 18 jars going right now and these 6 are the first batch that I'm hoping to s2b as soon as the last jar finish colonizing (I shook it at 70% yesterday)


My only concern is that one of the jar has a tiny cluster of uncolonized grain right on top and the top of one of the jars looks really fuzzy (making me think it might be contaminated?). This is my time growing and I've looked at tons of pictures/research on reddit/shroomery but for some reason I still feel nervous.





Here's some close up pictures of the other jars.

Hey guys basically I have no idea what to do here. These are about 2.5 weeks colonized. The smell is luscious, can't describe it. Just smells nice, like the forest after a nice rainy day. I have them in my bathroom. I followed pasty's guide for a monotub. My I have 6 holes still taped, and another set, higher up, that are open. Wtf do I do? Where do I go for the next step here?
