Though it's good to have spores on hand, to go back to. So instead of one or the other, it's always good to do both(with backups of each)

Could anyone point me to a place in shroomery where I can learn the basic understandings of jar fruiting?

I'm trying to fruit from the jar (with only grains in them). I am not very successful with that. Only with Lion's Mane I get some success. And actually that one I gave the least chance, as that one was the only one with seeable green contamination. Anyways, because of that one, and the desire to understand better what the mushrooms need, I 'sacrificed' some jars to see how it works. I have PE, Lion's Mane, Pioppino and King Oyster put under a small layer of coir, with a ziplock bag over it (with some holes). And I try to keep it moist. Doesn't really work. So I must do something really wrong. (all their brothers and sisters have already fruited in boxes and/or bags).

Could anyone point me to a place in shroomery where I can learn the basic understandings of jar fruiting?

Searching all my local feed stores. Which aren't a lot cuz I live in big city texas.

But they do have them out on the outskirts. However so far I can't find any millet. Only milo.

And unfortunately the prices are not as good as what I've seen some of you guys say. at least I think. It's looking like 50 lb for 50 something dollars.

But it seems like this may be my only option. So the question is does it make a difference I don't know what Milo is?  Does it work?


I haven't even considered looking at any other grains at these places. Because I've only ever worked with millet. But if I'm struggling finding Millet and it's this expensive. Any opinions on the next best cheapest and easiest grain to work with? That I should be able to find at these feed stores

If you’re near Taylor TX there’s a feed store there with $13 bags of Milo. And all the millet ive gotten locally has been close to that price, but dirty and treated with fungicide that inhibits growth.

If the big city you’re alluding to isn’t Austin, then I can’t help ya

What you guys think about this jar? I wont share my thoughts, to avoid planting ideas. Lol

This is WBS? Id send that. Millet never looks colonized in WBS jars. And it may not be super colonized here, but it is healthy. If you want to give it another week to consolidate to be sure I’d support it, but when it comes to millet I say fuck it more often than not.

This is the way my Millet always looks and I always turns out great. It's a pretty looking jar.

How many quart jars are you able to put in your 23-quart Presto PC?

I now use 600ml jars and can get 16 of them in the Presto. The local supermarket now has 1 liter jars (which is about 1 quart) for sale, for 1.99 euro a piece, and I'm thinking of buying a set of those. But, it looks I can only get 7 of those jars (standing up) in them. 16x600ml=9600 vs 7x1000ml=7000 would let me continue with the 600ml jars. But with 7 jars, less cleaning to do, which excites me, and also more efficient use of the shelves. Oh, choices. But maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thinking of it, I could put a few more jars on top, on their sides. But it would not be the first time a lid popped off when on it's side...

Thanks Tweeq! I see you're from NL, FYI: these jars are this week in Dirk supermarket. Donate the lids to the bin though!

Lol. I use the lids too. Mod them with a 6mm hole, stuffed with poly. Neatly cut excess and tape them over with micropore tape. They last a long time.



Even if they look like this

What kind of lids are you using?
