Would you say these jars are clean? Maybe the condensation at the top is a sign for bacteria?

Looks great to me. Condensation isn’t always an indicator of bacteria, especially an amount so small as this.

Flush Question

Ok Gurus.  I know there has been a ton of talk on going for my first to a second flush but my brain is a little scrambled after reading everything. My first flush was okay but my substrate is still damp. It is pulled away from the sides of the tub and has obviously condensed a little. My question has to do with the dampness and what to do next because it didn't dry out like a lot of the other people's first flush has. Should I leave uncovered for a week or so or what should be my next step because the dampness?

I have a question about my pressure cooker.

I have a presto that fits 10 qt jars. The PC has a gauge that I suspect is faulty as with a 15psi weight even with 2 quarters taped on top of the weight, the gauge only marks about 7psi, with or without the quarters taped on the 15psi weight.

Is it safe to ignore the gauge and just go by the weight 15psi jiggling?

The stopcock won’t lie. Provided it is the correct 15 pound stopcock, it will always rock at 15. Modified correctly, it will always rock at 17. Gauges are always off. Mine is off by 2 psi, some much more.

Go by the rocker and you’ll be good 👍

Is this contamination or something else? Fruiting conditions are pretty poor and coir was too wet. It has been 2 years since last grow and I usually just throw something together to get started after a longer pause. I don't mind losing a tub or two in the process. After a while I get my workflow in order.

This batch was made from syringe to grain. And don't worry I have some plates coming up and next batch is going to go through agar.






Terrible sorry to show you this mess.:rolleyes: Normally I wouldn't care and just ditch the batch but I'm interested in what's going on here. Also I need glasses. I promise the surface didn't look that wet before I took the pictures and zoomed in.


This is the manifestation of heavy bacterial activity as in paranormal activity, you don't see them but you know they're there.. the blobs are caused by mutation. Bacteria causes mutations and although not aesthetically pleasing, they're still mush you know (edible). Unless you see patches of nasty ass mold or gooey metabolites then  i wouldn't worry too much. Your sterile technique just needs a little polishing and you're good to go, my man :heart:


Okay, thanks! Yeah, I always do sloppy work after a break and then it takes a while to get things in order. This is actually my first encounter with bacteria and I have almost avoided all contaminations completely before. Even though I have never used agar or LC and have made quite a lot of batches.

Now I'm learning to use agar and I have question about that. I have other tub with mostly good mushrooms but some with signs of bacteria. Is it okay to try to clone some of the good ones or is there some possible problems with that (because of the bacteria)?

Probably gonna do it anyway for practice, but just thinking should I ditch the plates or use 'em.

I need some advice on setting up a warm-weather fruiting chamber...quick. I'm attempting to grow paddy straw mushrooms indoors. They come up fast. I'm all ready to spawn, and I'm trying to get a setup together at the last minute.

They like 90-110°F and +90% RH for fruiting.

HALP!

I've done small tubs inside large monotubs and put heating pads on top of the monotubs to boost the environmental temperature without applying direct heat to the substrate etc.  if you do that and mist the underside of the lids things stay pretty hot and humid.

I'm planning on doing more of a rack in a tent setup because I have big produce crates to fill with sub.

It occurred to me that I could drape the enclosure with an electric blanket to keep it insulated, and reduce interior heating.

Air exchange is something I need to account for still, though.

yeah I dont know a damn thing about paddy straw mushrooms.  do you have any idea of how picky they are about FAE?

edit: ok I watched a video and they call them paddy straw mushrooms because they literally cultivate them in the open air between mats of rice straw.  pretty damn cool.  I found this and a couple of things I noticed was that it lists much more achievable and sane cultivation temperatures, and it doesn't make any special mention of supplemental FAE or fans or anything like that. in fact it reads a lot like this can be done in a monotub.

Thanks for that video. I don't think I'd seen it yet. But, regardless, it appears that there is very little information on the subject of paddy straw mushroom cultivation. Hopefully my endeavor will be fruitful and I can help shed some light on the species. Perhaps I'll write up a growlog in due time, so that others can experiment with it as well. It's a very interesting mushroom with decent culinary value.
