No buddy, the lid goes on right away.  Your plates are likely toast.




in that case, what do you do about condensation forming? I thought I read others saying to leave open for a while to avoid that ... just mis-remembering I guess? :confused:


You can leave them lidded but unwrapped in the SAB for a day to let some of the condensation evaporate and the humidity equalize with the SAB air through the lid (petri dish lids have little raised bits on the interface with the dish rim that allow gas exchange). You want them stacked too - that way they cool slowly and only the top couple have condensation in the first place.

The trouble with leaving them uncovered in a still air box is the air isn't sterile. The still air makes it less likely for contaminants in the air to drop onto your work if it's uncovered for a short time. But over a longer period, gravity will win and some nasties will fall onto the sterile plate if it stays uncovered.

You're probably thinking of leaving them infront of a Flow Hood with the lid off.

Fusarium (Pink/Purple Mold, Produces Mycotoxins)

Looks like: Pink, reddish, or purple patches.
Action: Toss immediately. This one can produce mycotoxins that persist even if the mushrooms look fine.

Is it better to just fire up a torch & melt the filters right into the pp5 lids, instead of using a small ring of RTV to glue them over the hole?

I do kinda prefer the smell of burned plastics over curing RTV silicone sealants btw.. Just wondering if it will hold up okay, but can't remember where I heard that trick..

I made the jars, the print and the syringe. It’s only happened once and it was interesting to watch in person. I’d prefer not to see it again.
I washed my hands real good.

Quick question yall. I'm pretty new to this. Definitely new to growing mycelium on agar plates. Is there a difference between these two pics?


You might not be able to tell but the second picture the mycelium is fuzzy. Is that a bad sign, when the mycelium is fuzzy?

Depends on the characteristics of the "fuzzzy" but no fuzzy it's self isn't  necessarily bad. 

Tomentos growth vs rhizo.

I'd say they look good, by just looking at those pics.

It's got uniform growth over the entirety.  Not sporadic or patchy.

the 1st plate dark spots, is that just from the agar pour?

What variety?

I'd recommend taking smaller wedges, unless you're just expanding/preserving an already known clean culture.

I'd say that the rigidity of the plastic is NOT superior to the flexibility of the RTV. During expansion/contraction from temperature changes.

But if feeling froggy,  give it a test.

The dark spots are from the agar pour. The variety is Tidal Wave. Really excited to get them going. I've done one agar transfer already, and I assumed these and the rest of them that look like these would be rdy to put into some grain soon. Do you not recommend that?

My Carmel popcorn tank has fully colonized but has not fruited, save for a small number of side pins, any advice?

Note: I did not case, I've been misting it every couple days or so, and the sub is straight coir.

Pics? I can't find any info on a carmel popcorn tank, so I don't even have a guess at what issues might be.

My camera is broken so pics wouldn't be helpful.

Carmel popcorn is a mutated cube strain, and I set my grows up inside 5 to 10 gallon fish tanks.

Quick (but probably dumb) question:

Can/should I crumble up this giant BRF cake and mix it with coir in a shoebox? Or do a regular birth/dunk/roll and put it into a water tub?



Casper LI, 2cc per corner on Feb 2. It has looked clean and vigorous the whole time, even though I may have given it an extra 2 weeks to consolidate.
