The last 20 Petri dishes I made have tons of condensation. can I shake the condensation off the lid and let it drip out the side or will that cause a contamination risk?


that entirely depends on you and your technique.
shake it all in one spot and lean the plates safely and wait for the air in your SAB to settle. open the lid as little and as short as possible.
do one by one kn slow controlled movement:
10/10 is possible :wink:

Is there a way to roll cakes in verm and getting the verm to stick without bruising up the cake?
I‘m asking because the cakes are pinning like crazy and the first time I did it I wasted the pins in the process. This time I want to be gentle. Or save the pins if I have to be rough.


Don’t roll them, use a small paper bag that the cake will fit in instead. Put some vermiculite in the bag, put the cake in the bag and add more vermiculite to cover the cake. Leave it for 15 minutes and gently remove the cake. Put the cake in whatever tub you’re using and close it up for 24 hours or so. That allows the vermiculite to adhere to the cake. Mist the cakes to moisten and you’re set.
Adjust the method for the number of cakes you have. The idea is to not roll cakes that are pinning.
Sorry, that was not a quick answer. I haven’t had coffee yet.

No worries, I‘m thankful for every answer, later or earlier doesn’t really matter, there’s always a chance to apply the knowledge in the future. I‘ll try that method for the next cakes in a few days, thank you!

I kinda found a solution by just „pouring“ the verm over the cake, pressing it on slightly where possible. Then with the verm sticking only loosely I put them in the tub.
Kinda similar to your advice, but I think a paper bag would have helped in getting more verm to stick!

This raises two new questions though:

1. A lot of the surface of the cakes is successfully covered in verm, but some small patches (where I grabbed them) have little to no verm on them. Is there a reason why this would be bad or does it even matter?

2. Almost all pins made it through the procedure without damage. Almost, because I accidentally squeezed or lightly damaged a few. Can I just let them be or do they pose a contam risk and I should pick them now?

Small bare patches don’t matter. Perfect is the enemy of the good here.
Eat any pins that fall off, most of them taste pretty decent. Leave bruised ones alone, they’re more resilient than you think. They’ll grow or get absorbed. Contamination doesn’t happen spontaneously, there has to be a source.
Only halfway through my first cup…

I've been inspired by Rev lately.
Since you're using a sharpie, species/var + a number (or simply a number/code + date) might be nice, to keep the plates clean.
When you store them later, you can also just put that under "status" or "destination", to know where you have it located.

SKU = the number on the plate, jar, whatever.
The more info you add on the plate, the more redundancy in case you mess up something with the labelling along the way.

It's still today though, only difference would be DK sees a different registration date.

Otherwise we wouldn't see the little mushroom by his avatar.

Anyone have experience consuming years old stones? I dried them well and they've been in a jar in the freezer for 3 years now. I honestly have a hard time consuming enough so often have stuff that is years old. they always look good and my mushrooms are still cracker dry but I've never tried eating stones this old.

If you dried them properly and the jar is sealed well in the freezer, I doubt they suffered much potency loss :shrug:

Sorry if I can't get good pictures, but is this bruising on the mycelium or contamination?

I I see the area you're talking about but justlooks like bruising.  That said,  that bag has kind of a bacterial look to it.  It's growing though.  Let it ride :thumbup:

This is how the others look. The mycelium looks totally different from the jars. And i shook a bag a few days ago and noticed the top doesn't colonize. Too much air? Anyway to have the top colonize? I was thinking of taping parts of the filter for less air to come in lol. The bags were advertised as .2um but idk if they are really .2um because with other people that use .2um they colonize just fine.
