How do we do PE grows today? spawn: sub ratio? Do we compress? And what about casing, still yes? And is it still pasteurized 50 50+? How do you pasteurize; bucket tek or termometer and a pot? Thank you <3

Hey.
I'm trying to find the amount of psilocybin in Natalensis, does anyone know?

Ok I appreciate the reply I will try that. If Myceliun will grow on agar water and not bacteria that eats even the point of adding the nutrients?

Actually have been wondering the same exact thing. Is there a speed difference, does it stay viable for a shorter time as it runs out of nutrients, what are the drawbacks?

WA has a very thin, barely visible growth.  It's not a viable replacement for normal agar recipes.... it's just another tool at our disposal.

I'd recommend trying .5 % nutes, Also any carb source WITH nutritional yeast- is like booster shot for mycelium.

Hey all
Received a alleni swab, what's the best way to use this on agar?

As I've seen streaking methods and also ripping off pieces with a scapel.

Any info would be sweet, thanks

---

I prefer to just scrape a small amount of spores with my scalpel

First of all, that motherfucker better stay the fuck away from my fruit loops.

Second, the point to food coloring in agar is it looks cool.  That's about it.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean to take the scalpel to the swab and then to agar?

---

Nah, just hold the swab above the open plate and scrape the swab with the scalpel, you know, like when you've burnt the meat and try to scrape the ash of so it's edible

I like watching the color (or lack there of) as the mycelium metabolize it....

Or toast...

But with swabs I've had more reliable germination by jamming (not jelly) some fibers into the agar. 

As I'll swab a plate or two and stick it into the last one, which usually is the first one, if not the only one, to germinate.

---

I get that, and I'm sure it's more reliable, but beggars can't be choosers. I never had a problem with swabs not germinating, and doing it the way I do a swab last a loooong time. That said, I've only done 3 swabs

0.5% nutes for regular Agar correct?
