How do I fix this?  It was in a monotub with a lions mane grow block.  He’s fine it’s these oyster ones that are doing poorly.  Can I move it to a 5 gallon with holes bucket and break it up?  It was at 90+% humidity but maybe not cold enough


Oyster species require a ton of fresh air, which you're not going to get in a tub.

Breaking it up into a bucket is not (in my opinion) worth the stress to the mycelium. Just rip off the leggy fruits and leave it in open air, misting frequently, maybe with a grocery bag loosely on top to help keep the humidity up while waiting for pins. If you cut the whole top off the bag rather than making slits or smaller holes, it'd be worth trying to cover the large hole and make smaller ones so the substrate doesn't dry out and energy is directed to making fewer, larger fruits.

I apologize if this has been answered, been searching for a while and can’t seem to find anything definitive. When a tub is contaminated, I see the consensus is to “toss it” does that mean throw out a tub and/or jar or can they be cleaned with bleach or alcohol (or Pc for jars) or some other way and used again or do they need to literally be tossed?

Dunk and roll? Noc'd 12/19 its PB, I won't use the skinny mouth jars again but I want to make sure it'll be OK if I wash off the uncolonized BRF? Very carefully, of course.
Then a verm roll and into the FC.
Any input?

Thanks for the reply!

Shoe boxes were likely where we were going next, after some practice with the agar stuff. About those side pins though... any thoughts? Should I just leave them alone until I'm ready to harvest and determine what to do then, or should I just get rid of them?

My girlfriend did the grain spawn transfer as she tends to have a steadier hand than I do, but a little of the substrate did make it's way over the side anyway as it was her first time doing something like this.

And we're going to make a good number of prints (did some reading and watched a few videos on some simple and quick ways to do so) and after I get a little more confident using a message board again I'll be happy to send some out to any who are interested, though I make no promises as to their quality as we are rank amateurs to be sure.

What about the misting though? The instructions that came with the A.I.O made no mention of misting, but another brand who were selling an identical inflatable tub had a video on YT that suggested misting a couple few times a day. Any thoughts?

Toss the contents, not the containers. Jars will be sterilized anyway, and soap and water and wiping with alcohol or diluted bleach solution should be enough for tubs.

Look up Stipe-n Caps' videos... should have everything you need.

But shouldn't have to mist before first flush if field capacity and dialed in.

Yes sounds like a good plan.

Many thanks, I started doing just that. Spraying with a bleach solution and wiping with paper towels then spraying with 70% Iso and letting sit for 10 mins then I realized all the posts said “toss” so I wanted to make sure my process was safe. Appreciate the help!

I usually wait to harvest side pins until they reach maturity. Or when I go to harvest the others. If they abort, in my experience the mycelium will reclaim them. If they start to rot and you're worried about it you can just pull them.

I wouldn't worry about misting it unless it gets considerably drier.

50/50 loss in first 2 jars. The PB cake pins stayed tight during the dunk. I will not use the skinny jars again, I practically had to break the damn jar to get it out!

The contaminated cake (grrrr, learning curves) had pins too - These are *not* safe to eat, correct? I don't want to eat them, a friend of mine is volunteering and I need to prove that it's a bad idea.
Sad cake

I'd like to make some trades for some lionsmane culture I have (and have the capability of making hundreds more plates of) but I can't get into the right forum because I'm only half way through the required posts to get into it. any suggestions on how I should go about getting these extra posts without being a nuissance about it. I don't want to go making unecessary threads and posts when I don't need to but most of my involvement on the forum is in regards to cult and at the moment I'm not very deep on that. I've got 2 grows going but it's slow going and at the moment finances are (embarassingly) too tight to be buying more supplies I need like more parafilm, agar, and grains.

last year I lost almost my entire culture library too poor storage so I'm trying to rebuild the library as cost efficiently as I can.

any suggestions as far as anonymizing shiping would also be appreciated. I know I should probably get a p.o. box but I just wouldn't be able to use it nearly as much as I'd like for as much as I'd pay for it.
thanks for any tips guys :smile:

As far as posts go, journals count as them, so make one and spam it to get to 50 and you'll be able to access the marketplace.

As far as shipping in the US goes I'm fairly certain that if you ship anything more than a letter without a return address they will flag it more than one with a return address, so a PO box would probably be your friend.

All in one plastic ball jar lids


You don’t have to modify any jars anymore just a quarter turn opened when you put it into the PC and these work fine. No more replacing rusty lids.


Isn't the SFD there for FAE?  or do you keep the lids a 1/4 loose after inoculation?


Those lids are not canning safe according to the website. Says non-canning for usage.

If they are made with plastic, you need pp5 ones. Ball seems to have discontinued their old ones, they were white tops. I bought some knockoffs recently. I remove any silicone ring, and yeah, just turn the lids a tiny bit after shaking them.


Those are all I use, they're 100x better than the white plastic ones,  imo. They're not used for canning because they don't self seal by pulling a vacuum, like the 2 piecemetal lids. They're Perfectly fine for spawn.



They don't warp either.





Because of the sfd those Lids go on tight correct? Also can you link me where you get your sfd and which ones they are?

interesting I was thinking about doing personal write ups on how I do my lab work like cleaning and polishing glass petris, making and storing agar in bulk, things like bleach dilutions and protocols etc.

I though about making it a public thread but good lord the shroomery can be so cut throat about the slightest things sometimes lol I'm not really interested in all the shit flinging I see happen in some of these forums :P

any idea if the shroomery automatically strips meta data from uploaded pictures or is that something I need to do on my side before I upload? this is an open question I'm sure someone around this sub may have an idea on the topic.

I picked a flush today and there was a little spot of gray fuzzy mold near the corner of the bag about the size of a nickel. It's the only place I saw anything weird. Are the shrooms safe to eat they look and smell normal I just didn't keep the ones near that spot and buried the block outside.

Yes it strips Metadata for you.

If it's journal (public) you shouldn't get as much shit flinging. It's also getting better nowadays. 

Aslo if you're able to defend it in a civilized debate while being open to the opposing views,  you have nothing to worry about. Haters gonna hate no matter.
But it may help others who read it.
