I’d let the little guy grow. The rest looks like it’s wanting to start pinning anytime now. Never know it may get huge and get you a monster worth cloning. It wanted to grow faster than the rest.

Personally, the early riser is interesting to me. I would clone it.

This scenario is exactly how I ended up with my first ochra clone. Early bird ended up being the biggest.

+1 to let it ride. 🤙

Yeah those early risers are often cloning candidates.

Nice yeah. I’ll let it get to maturity and cut a chunk to agar 👍

Does my bag look like it’s time to open the top? It seems to be well colonized but I don’t want to open it too early.

Does this look like mycelium growth or contamination? If contamination, any idea what? Thanks!

Hey guys, just wondering... I followed FrankHorrigan's guide and it worked pretty well. Had a bunch of mutants. After I picked them, I got actual mushrooms. I want to do this again. Can I use polyfill lids repeatedly or do I have to change the polyfill every time? I injected through the polyfill to inoculate WBS in jars. Thank you!


Just following up on this, thank you !

The uniform round colony looks like mushroom mycelium. The adjacent one looks a little suspicious from the pics, but likely just a bit bacterial rather than moldy.

Aside: Consider wrapping your plates with 1-inch strips of parafilm, grafting tape, or cling wrap. You'll be able to see a little better, and it's probably cheaper per plate than that amount of micropore tape. Comes off a lot easier for transfers too.

You can reuse polyfil in lids many times. But don't stick a needle through your filter. Use a still air box and remove the jar lid for a second to inoculate. (And it's best not to do that with a spore syringe - clean agar wedge or liquid culture will have a far higher success rate as grain spawn inoculum.)

If you really want to inject without opening the jar, use a self healing injection port. You can make one with another hole in the lid and a big glob of silicone. Those do need replacement after a few uses, and they tend to be bacterial vectors since you can't flame them. Cover them with tape (painters tape or a couple layers of micropore) before sterilizing, and only remove the tape just before inoculating. Don't wipe it with iso after that or you'll defeat the purpose of keeping it sterile. Or check out fahtster's steam pen tek.

Can't make out the top one (blurry image), but the bottom one is a mushroom pin. Probably time to put the cakes into fruiting conditions. :smile:

Pins and knots forming. Pictures are out of focus(or I’m out of focus). You can preview your posts before posting.
Kit or did you prep?

Yesssss that is exactly the answer I wanted. Birthing dunking and rolling in verm is in my near future, good thing I already got the fruiting chambers. Sorry about the blurry imagery that's entirely on me.

Kit* and I have been reading the bejabbers out of all of these posts on pretty much a daily basis for three months. Took longer than I thought but it is really cold here and I'm absolutely stoked that I have pins forming. Tomorrow I birth dunk and roll!

* definitely got sold stuff I didn't need but live and learn.

I asked because kits tend to use the tall skinny 1/2 pints. I prefer wide mouth 1/2 pints.
How many cakes do you have?
I saw your better picture. That shows why short wide mouth jars are preferable. Inoculating with a 1 1/2 inch needle goes about half way down a wide mouth jar and only to the top half of a tall jar.

5 of pink buffalo and 4 of b+.
I see your point, the widemouth ones definitely look easier to colonize. That would explain that last half inch in the bottom of mine.
