What else can you get? Rice is not the recommended grain source for that very reason.

First off, welcome to the Shroomery!

Secondly, could you elaborate as to why you're looking for brown rice? Are you trying to use it for grain spawn or?

When I started, I watched some vids, got excited, and pretty much went with the first tek I could find. So now I have a bunch of brown rice. I have a big bag of red sorghum now, but I don’t want to waste the rice.

Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, I have been attempting to cook it for grain spawn jars.

I’ve got a few cakes going actually haha. I’ve got a bday coming up in mid April, and I read that PF tek is the fastest way to get fruit.

A Fellow Aries:vibin:

The sorghum might be the better route at least till you have more consistent good results.

Otherwise it's probably just gonna take a bunch of experiments with water:rice ratios.

I'd probably do a mixed grain to help with clumping.

Edit:

How have you tried so far?

Soak, simmer, boil...?

The trick is to undercook it (not going to eat it) 1:1.2h20
And rinse with cold water ....lots of rinsing . 
And air dry for hour or two.  Shake while warm after pc.

Maybe add some verm to jars to help.

Eat the rice and make BRF for cakes.

Use the sorghum for grain.

My experiences with trying to use rice like a grain were always subpar, clumpy, and generally unworkable.

I get 50lb bags of rye for $12. I just used what's cheapest and easiest. It's a hobby for me after all.

Thanks. I tried rinsing, then adding to boiling water for 7 minutes, strain, dry under a fan, and also using a rice cooker with not enough water. Both methods ended up clumpy.
I didn't think about adding vermiculite, I might give that a crack.
What about switching to bags? That way I could break any clumps by hand.

I wish I could get rye that cheap. They don't grow it around here, so it's all imported and very expensive. Whiskey making is one of my other hobbies, and it cost me an arm and a leg last time I did a rye.

I have yet to find a reliable local grain source here within a 25 mile radius.

My agar I made I just kind of crumbled when I tried to inoculate it with the loop and also the needle. Am I just doing something wrong while inoculating? I used a premixed agar and followed the directions closely.



What kind of premix did you use. I ask because when I first started I made the mistake of buying a premixed agar powder, turned out to be for growing bacteria :muppet:

Not saying you did the same, just a thought and would explain why your plate crumbled.

Hi friendly people, I got a growbox and the mycelium looks kinda slimy. Did I Just overwater or is it infected? There is one White penny sized part on the top but I had it for 5 weeks now.
What do you recommend?

Welcome to the Shroomery.

It does look like it is probably over watered, also is that cling wrap over the top? What is your air exchange setup for that tub?

This is what I got. Next time I make agar i’m going to to definitely just go the more traditional route that’s used here.

Well it looks okay, but I guess you can't be certain that the agar and DME is thoroughly and evenly mixed. And yes, if you buy agar and DME and only weigh and mix what you need, then you would know that it is the right amount :rockon:

@mub: just avoid grainwater agar, that water is filled with runoff chemicals and stuff.

I have been using human foodgrade stuff. I have no complaints from my gnocchi agar recipe. Even ramen boil water works, although I don't recommend it. Next I'm trying vermicelli, ingredients are just rice flour and water. Think it will be a starchy treat.

Just grab some Idaho Spuds and follow the pastyplate tek that's a simple one that doesn't require pouring.

Hey all, this is my second grow and my first time dealing with contam. My first grow did amazing but this time I have a dime size spot of contam. How would you go about dealing with this? Is there a way to take care of it or is it is what it is?

Tbh when it contams before fruits even come out, it's likely just going to be a total fail. It happens, don't get discouraged. Try cutting out basically half of the sub, 2/5 of it, and make the cut line far enough away from the contamination.

Then pray for meager success, but it is likely a tosser. If you see it spreading elsewhere after cutting it out, don't even hesitate and just toss it.
