So, these GT took over 3 weeks to show any signs, but today(yesterday. The 3rd) is week four? And I have shaken twice due to (now) quick growth once on 28th and once on 2nd. About how long do you think these baby's have until I box em' up? Not intentionally impatient. Actually excited at the process... just have severe diagnosed ocd.

Looks bacteria infected and doomed. 4 weeks is a long time for such bags.

Making the process a loop--

is it possible to start the next batch with the spent substrate from the previous batch? If so, please help me with what to search for to educate myself!

Or, does each batch need to be started from freshly colonized substrate? TIA...

Yes, but you'll want to sterilize it. As it will have leftover nutrients from the grains.

just finished my first duel extract tincture with a lions mane grow i had. when mixing both extracts, there was a reaction which caused the liquid to form this sediment substance. I’ve heard this means you did something right, but wasn’t sure if i should mix the extract up and slurp up the sediment too.

Is there a particular brown rice I should use (like long grain) or one to avoid?

Are you using the rice as a grain or as rice flour? If the former, long grain rices work better. I believe basmati is best as far as lack of stickiness. If making flour, I don't believe it matters.

I also put my vac bags in the freezer which keeps them from getting softer after a year+. I haven’t seen any loss in potency putting them in the freezer after 2+ years so idk where that one study is getting their info from.

We're still talking dried mushrooms, right?

Yes

Yeah, you wanna avoid parboiled brown rice. They don't always say on the packaging either, but you'll know by the cook times that are listed.

The parboiled kinds (like UB, etc) will have shorter cook times, because it's already been pre-boiled when it was still in the husks. That means if you follow a tek without making sure, you might up up with sticky overcooked grains, even though you followed all the protocols properly. There's other cons too..

The non parboiled long grain brown rice is what you want, and will have longer cook times, sometimes upwards of 40 minutes, where as the other kind takes 10-20 minutes or so.

So I have two jars here, both from same culture, both almost fully colonized. The one on the right started recovery after shake with uniform growth, but then changed the morphology (lighter a bit more wispy), the left one has stayed the same. Am I dealing with something icky in the ~~left~~ right one?

Hello all,

I've decided to retry growing some mushrooms but I don't feel confident at all with agar check yet. Here my doubts, for whoever is willing to help out:

1) The Ghost plate seems to have another colony growing at 3 o'clock (in this picture it seems to be the same one, but it was actually another one that just got together with the main one).
The Tidal also has a similir situation at 2 o'clock. I'm not sure why it's happening and, specially, what do you think of these 2 plates? Are both thigs just mycelium?

2) Same situation here for these 2 different plates: 2 colonies, the main one and another little one at 3 o'clock. Also I'm not sure if the little one is actually mycelium.

3) Any way to actually reduce that nasty condensation? Would I damage the mycelium bu putting above these plates a plate with hot water for a minute?

Thank you all!
