What is this likely to be on the sides?

Could this be fuzzy mycelium?

Can mycelium grow up the side of dish not on the agar?

I’m going to test if an old dried up plate will grow again (don’t think it will) and I’m wondering the best option in yall opinion…..

1. try to crack a piece off onto a fresh plate
2. drop a large piece of wet agar on top of the dry stuff
3. squirt sterile water on the dry plate and then do a transfer after it’s rehydrated
4. something I’m not thinking of?

Hot pour on top

1.6-1.9% agar

I have done a fair bit of no prep millet, it works and gets me mushrooms, but the top always seem to be cooked/dry and it in my experience takes longer to colonize.

I've tried, rice, popcorn, millet, wbs, rye, etc. I stick to prep rye. I need to try wheat one of these times.

As someone who has a large bag of millet sitting unused I'm also here waiting for others to chime in on their favorite millet prep tek.

I give no prep millet a 6/10 rating.

Is it cap that you can still get spores out of? if so I believe you can rehydrate it, let it sporulate and collect a print, part of me would imagine though that you could also rehydrate any part of a mushroom and throw it on agar if thats the case. I’ve never done it, and if no one else can tell you if they have or not it may be worth an experiment, I mean what do you have to lose?

Millet: a great choice for no prep, cheap and easy to work with. It is 2:1 seed:water by volume.


Give it a try..." smaller jars are more forgiving"

I think it's better to remove while hot and give a good shake to help evenly distribute moisture & comes in to equilibrium.

Is there an upper bound on how long to wait for a jar of grain spawn to fully colonize?  I have four quarts of WBS that I inoculated with an LC syringe on Jan 18.  The one on the left looks basically good to go to my eyes, but the one on the right is lagging. 





I guess these could have contam issues, but being a noob I can't see anything obvious.

Thanks! :billymaythumbup:

I gather certain things in this hobby you only get a feel for over time but right now it is hard to break the sense that I *need* to take action on these jars or my BRF cakes that are giving me fits in my WTFC.

For now I must take a deep breath and embrace LITFA.

Question of field capacity for JUST pure coir:

Without verm, what should I be looking for. I've heard different ratios from different posters across the years. Normally I'm 5xing my dry coir weight with water. So, what is your field capacity?

Squeeze and quick stream then nothing?

or

Squeeze hard, few droplets, then nothing?

I normally go for the second, and I'm wondering if my substrate might be too dry.


I use 4,2ml/1g of coir, so far that has been good, I also do a good mist on pseudo casing at spawn.

I just bucket tek my coir and wring out excess water as needed, as I feel it's better too wet than too dry. I've done some soupy mixes, but for me it works because I've learned to visually see how hydrated the coir is this way.

I know it's low budget and can be kinda sketchy but it has worked wonders for me. I may try a sous vide pasteurization when I get more grain.

I do the same, bucket tek. With 4,2ml/1g it comes out perfect, it seems dry, but it's not and with the additional mist at spawn it seems to work well. I used some coir that had a lot of long fibers and it came out a little wet, still no problem, so I wouldn't worry to much, and as you say one could always just squeeze out excess water.

Anybody have a recommendation for presorted 000 capsules? The ones on amazon have bad reviews.


I use these, on my second 1000 count and really no complaints except on some later rounds, when completed and placed in Ball jar, I went to vacuum and some caps popped open.  On closer inspection, it was user error.  I did not snap the caps all the way

Quick Question:

When can you rehydrate a PF cake that dried out?

Backstory - first successful grow out of 5 over the last decade - I forgotten to moisten the perilite like a dumbass until they were in the chamber for 4 days and half of my cakes have shrunken and are blue - the other half that aren't completely dried out have pins -

Can I dunk and roll the dried out ones now? Or should I wait

Just curious why colonized BRF cakes or similar are used to then colonize casing. Why not inoculate the casing directly?  Or, why not use more BRF as casing?

It's not casing, it's just a substrate that is used as a water reservoir.
