Just wrap regular qtips in foil, individually or in bunches. Just make sure to moisten the tips. HAven't had an issue with plastic stem ones in the PC

Moistening the tips is only for making streak plates right? I'm planning to dry swap a spore print and transfer to brf pucks.

Hot pour if there's enough room... it will help bring the hardiest hyphea into the light...


Thanks Lew, I'll give that a shot! Never tried it before.

What's everyone's opinion on using overgrown plates? I had some family in town for a week and couldn't get to my plates that I probably let go too long beforehand anyway. I've always just tossed them and started over but thought I'd ask to see if I can save some plates. They were all clean prior to being overgrown.


I have transfered from ancient (months old) plates many times and can't remember a loss or a noticable difference in later performance. An extra week would almost certainly doesn't matter.

I probably wouldn't go directly to grain with a very old plate - hard to know without seeing it growing on agar if the culture is still in good enough shape, so it's worth the extra time. But a month or maybe two I probably wouldn't think twice about even for grain. Take wedges inside from the edges in case the plate wrap got punctured.

Thank you! I'll give some a shot and see. Ill learn a lesson either way. I appreciate the response.

I encourage other countries to use their free health care to swipe some from the docs office.

There is balance. :lol:

I spawned this 20 quart tub on 6/3 with some PE. It's been colonizing nicely. At least I think so as this is my first tub. The pics are from yesterday, which is the first time the lid came off so I could take a Pic.

Can someone with experience tell me how it looks?

I have to head out of town tomorrow and won't be back until Thursday next week. Should I take it with me or is it likely okay until then?

I'm not seeing pins yet so hoping my set and forget strategy will work.

Thoughts?

That's exactly what your looking for. Surface conditions look great to me! Should start to get knots very soon

leaving it all alone is the way to go. the less you disturb such perfect conditions the better.

What's the consensus on Water weight for cubensis nowadays? Back in the day 10% dried mass was the major consensus, but I often saw closer to 8.

Had around 600 fresh of APE, but that dried down to 36g, so it's closer to 5% after 24 hours in the Excalibur. Maybe this dehydrator is just way more powerful and previous drying protocols were not enough?

I haven't been measuring wet/dry like I used to but I will in the next ones for better data.

So what is the percentage of plates with agar that should develope SOME sort of growth?

Of all the plates I streaked, I have two that have mycelium from the same strain. Neither my TW or PE seem to have anything growing on them.

How many days? The older the prints/swabs the less spores are alive, therefore slower growth. Could be other mechanisms as well.

Could also be how wet the agar is, but if its from the same batch it should be fine. More likely just a case of slower varieties or older prints.

Thank you, The Tao, for Mushboy's Cracker Dry link.

Is it possible to dry too much? Does "over-drying" compromise the result?

What fire hazard?  Dehydrators are designed to run continuously as long as they have to. 

That's one of the other reasons we always push them, they are safer than other methods.

Should I leave it home until Thursday of next week? I'd hate to have my babies start popping and needing to be picked. 😀

I can have my son take a peek if needed.
