Like Hob said, just looks like grains on glass. Are you handling the jars a lot? You could've bumped it and caused the myc to crush into the glass making it look darker because of the now visible grain.

I have used Pennington's bird seed. I wash and strain it 3 times (to remove the "dino-gullet" sand they add for birds)

Then I soak it 16 to 24 hours, strain spread out on a screen and scope into quart jars.

Don't fill it to the top, do 2/3 to 3/4 full, so you have room to shake the jar at 30 percent colonized.

I’d be worried about that jar too.  That don’t look right.. too “black” to be grain to me.  The fact that there’s heavy rhizo action around only those spots makes me think the myc is on the run too.

If you look at that jar in person and see the color black without a doubt.. black, the jar is toast

while waiting for the other jars to catch up should I just hang tight and see if the black grows?

I have two quick questions:

1) Is it normal for spores injected into PF jars to take a while to show mycelium growth? I've used the post search function for answers and more often than not read comments of people showing signs of growth within less than a week, when for me it's much longer.

2) Also, when I let the jars in the PC cool overnight, then pull the tinfoil off after transferring into a SAB for inoculation sometimes there's water that pools up blocking the holes. I'm worried about them contaminating the jars as the needle has to penetrate threw the water, and on my second grow using PF tek (first had no contams) one of my jars I believe is showing trich. Is this something to worry about? Can I do anything to minimize the water under the tin foil? I do use a wire rack that lifts the jars off the bottom of the pot so they don't come into contact with the water. Maybe they're not high enough or the moisture is coming from condensation?

1. It depends on the variety and how old the spores are.  I don’t even start looking for a week and then I don’t get worried until two. I recently had a very old print that I streaked on agar take a month to show.  I almost threw it away but glad I didn’t.

2.  Yes you can put jar rings under your trivet to lift it up so your jars are barely in the water or use bolts to raise the trivet up even more.  But if water isn’t getting into your jars (noticeably) your don’t have to worry but I’d at least put rings under the trivet.  There’s gonna be water under the foil from condensation.  I put solid tape over my holes… this keeps water out and also protects the hole rim from dust before I inoculate.  When you’re about to inoc, just peel back a corner from each hole so it’s easy to pull up when you insert the needle. 

Edit:  I somehow missed you’re using a wire rack lol. No they don’t need to go up anymore if they’re out of the water completely

Then when the inoc point has some colonization, remove the tape (or just remove it when you inoc each hole). I like to put micropore tape over the holes after the solid tape for extra protection but you also get gas exchange.

Bubble envelopes, international stamps, non-machinable stamps, and a return address label is my international jam

Forceps or needle nose for removing old blades, but just using the sterile wrapper open on the shaft end with my fingers on the sterile package wrapped tip for snapping the blade in place is my method. I did have to do some filing to get one of the two scalpel handles to take a blade easily.




Okay I got it. This is making much more sense now. I was under the assumption everybody had to apply as much force as I did. It wasn't aware it could be an issue with the handle itself and the manufacturer. I'll definitely look into that and see if some filing will help.before buying a new one.  If I can figure out which part to file? LOL

Do you have to Shell out the money for something like a swans morton to geruntee easy installation?

I got mine for free from a vendor so I'm sure it's cheap.  Just wondering. if I do have to buy a new one am I going to run into the same issue if I buy one that's not so expensive? Or is it just sort of a luck of the draw type of thing and some just will need to tweaked?

Cool, I'll put solid tape over the holes next time, and take it off after inoculation. Thanks for the reply. :thumbup:
