Thanks folks. I should have said what I want it for. I have no designs on breeding projects.
I only want a scope to help identify friend from foe.
Probably don't really even need one TBH.
But they're pretty dang neato.
Eventually I'd like something with nice optics to use for photography, but that's no time soon.

Some of my oat jars have these brown spots... Is this just moist oat guts smashed against the glass or something to be worried about? Ie... Should I send these? (I've already broken them up and they recolonized to this in 3-4 days)

Looks like an overcooked oat. Still, those jars might be a bit bacterial, based on condensation, some jar pressings ones having wetspots.

Probably will still fruit, just don't use these for g2g or big tubs. A small tub with both, or 2 shoeboxes perhaps.

Do you soak your corn for 24h to germinate endospores before PC?

That’s one of those things from the past that’s not actually helpful.  More germinated spores is just more organisms making spores and having toxic byproduct.  Just wash the grain and process without a soak.

PE substrate question...

I know for APE strains its recommended to use a thick pseudocasing (1.5-2 in) when doing compressed substrate in a tub, but what about older PE lines and their hybrids?  Do you go as thick for APEU, Melmak 118 and their crosses or do you only need like 3/4-1 inch?

😂 I could prob double that 😭

Mr Piggy, if I may ask?

I have been spawning rye grain and millet grain bags. (Not mixed together)
I can’t seem to pick which one I prefer?
Just when I think the rye is giving me nicer/cleaner and healthier mycelium, the Millet grain still does its job but the rye just looks better.
Then the next time it’s reversed, the millet preforms superior. I presume this is due to different cube species preferring the different grain types? I know people grown on corn and rice or even coffee grounds

My question is, what is your preferred grain/mix to spawn to?

I’ve been using WBS, but to each their own.  When my bag of grain runs out I’ll probably be trying something cheaper like wheat or oats :shrug:

I don’t think one grain is better than the other except for corn.  I think corn is inferior based on what I have observed on here:shrug:

Ok sweet, I like the sound of oats.
They would have to be whole oats I presume?
The rolled oats from the supermarket would just make porridge in the sterilisation process. 😂😂

Sorry man but what is the spawn mix u are referring to WBS?

Yep, porridge time for sure. You'll want grain with the hulls still on.

And WBS=Wild Bird Seed.

Oh true! Wow thanks, I literally learn something new every time I get on this forum.
That’s wild!! I mean I can see how all the different seeds would be nutritious also multiple inoculation points for each type rather than just a single grain!
Something so simple yet makes soo much sense!

I assume if sterilisation is not perfect the different types of grains would have a high risk of contamination?

I like the idea of WBS! Although as Mr Piggy said there is much cheaper options that are more my budget

Indeed, if you have feed stores anywhere near you it's worth the effort. Way cheaper to get a bulk bag of a single grain. WBS is not too bad but it's gonna be retail prices aimed at bird enthusiasts. I'm using WBS because I'm lazy and my grocery store has it just sitting there waiting for me. 😆
I sift the small/medium/large bits apart, but that's totally optional.

Afternoon Gents,

Quick question. If I am growing actives, what culinary mushrooms could I grow following the same or similar requirements as your standard cubes?

I am setting up a martha tent, currently only growing cubes via shoebox tubs. Have a few jars and bags of grain spawning. I grow in CVG. Anything culinary like CVG?

Well in short,  No.

You might be able to supplement with coffee or wheat bran.

But you're not gonna get yields.

Hwfp &or straw is pretty much a necessity.  Along with soy hulls or wheat bran (I buy in bulk section at WINCO).

If you've got bags and will have a tent, it's not that much more work and it's cheap.

If youve got access to wood chips that reduces cost substantially.

What's the best practice for storing inoculated plates? Should they go in a cabinet away from light or can they go on the shelves in my grow room next to everything else? Does it matter?

Also does it make any difference if I accidentally stored  two upside down after streaking?

I store mine in an incubator tub in tub with a fish tank heater so they grow a bit faster but that's just because my house is cold ~68F and I don't want to have to wait that long for stuff to grow out. Higher temps are more prone to promote bacterial growth though.

Away from direct sunlight definitely, otherwise I think you're fine. I think upside down storage is standard practice so stuff on the tops doesn't drop onto the plate (namely condensation if that's an issue for you).

I'm pretty new so anyone feel free to correct anything I've said above.

They would only side pin in my shoeboxes so I put them in a water tub
