Is anyone else having trouble maintaining surface conditions in the warm weather? My surfaces keep ending up dry. I've tried prepping my coir a bit on the wet side but that doesn't seem to be helping. I'm guessing restricting fresh air is the next logical step but I was wondering if anyone else has other suggestions? Even misting a few times a day doesn't seem to make a dent.

I'm thinking about shoving some polyfill into the quarter inch holes.

I use a wetter psudo casing pretty thick and it’s worked out for me. I use unmodified shoeboxes though and they pretty much stay 78-80 at all times. So idk if that will help in your case

Polyfil works, or you can restrict evaporation with micropore

Anyone else prefer micopore tape over para film?


I've tried both, but if you're talking about sealing plates, I use 2-inch wide plastic grafting tape.

It's pretty cheap, but if you order form China and don't mind waiting a 7 to 8 weeks, it's extraordinary cheap. Like probably a lifetime supply for 20 bucks.

I wrap it 1.5 x around a plate, and sometimes put a little micropore on after that. It stays without the tape, but just like to make sure.



+1 for grafting tape/film.

Hi!

For clean culture i ve red this guide : https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18430998.

1. He states it is for cloning, but I guess it is the same if you start from a spore print?

2. With 80/90% humidity and 28/30°c at day and 28°c at night, how should I let my mic colonize agar? In an ac room?

3. If in ac room, which temp? Humidity will drop to 30% or below tho.

4. If not ac room, just leave it like that in a room?

Cheers

The only real difference with spores is how you inoculate them. If you have a print, take a sterile inoculation loop or swab, use it to pick up some spores, and streak them on the plate with a Z pattern. If a syringe, shake it well, flame the needle, squirt some out to cool the needle, then put just a drop on a plate. Spreading the drop with a sterile loop or swab will give you a better chance to find clean culture to transfer from.

That temperature seems pretty warm, but I think for most species it should be fine for colonizing agar. If you find the mycelium has trouble outrunning any bacterial blobs, might be worth keeping them in the air conditioned room. Humidity will not matter at all, since the plates should be sealed.

When you go to bulk substrate is where the high temperature will start to be really annoying, since at that point you don't have sterile conditions, and high temperature tends to favor organisms other than mushroom mycelium. A lot of people just don't grow in the summer.

1: Yes.
2: Store the plates where it's the most consistent temperature between 22 and 28°C.
3: if you are comfortable then the myc is, so let's say around 22-24°C. As long as you wrap your plates it'll hold it's own humidity a long time. I have my plates in a tote on a shelf.
4: Yes.

5/15/25 - Penis Envy- LC to brown rice
5/24/25 - Break and Shake jars
6/3/25 - Spawned to 20 quart monotub
6/13/25 - Wiped up all mycelium metabolites and wiped out all condensation. Not sure what the problem is or was.

These pics are from today. There is still plenty of moisture inside but no discernible pinning. Should I remove the lid or invert it to allow additional airflow. The surface looks okay to me. Anything I can due to promote pinning or just need more patience.

Hyphal knots 

Here's a decent thread

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26280383

From that thread;

Hyphal knots - looks like polystyrene balls (like what fills a beanbag) but VERY VERY small.

They'll come 'sterilized', but that mainly means fresh out of the injection molder.    They even hold up to 50°C LME.  Don't melt them in the PC.



Just going to clear this up... No, they do not come sterile out of the mold.  They are sterilized with gamma radiation.
