This time I bought a mycelium syringe from a vendor.
Used some of it for two jars grain water liquid culture and the rest for agar and grain jars - all of them look clean. 2 weeks now and white mycelium is growing


When the liquid culture is ready I will test it first before using it

You can’t see a lot of contamination in LC, so it’s hard for “look clean” to mean much.

What he meant was you should have tested the vendor syringe before expanding it to more liquid. A bad vendor syringe may have been why it failed the first time, or it was technique. Without testing on agar theres no way to tell

Always test before expanding, that way you eliminate vectors off the bat and it’s much easier to narrow down what went wrong instead of scratching your head at 20 things.

I know I have to test it. As I said

I inoculated a few grain jars and agar with the mycelium syringe 2 weeks ago
All of them show clean mycelium growth. So I think the syringe was clean. With the rest of the syringe I inoculated grain water to expand it. I will test this liquid culture when it's ready before using it :smile:

Seems like you have made the correct steps to test.
Remove the foil and see if the condensation stops

Would you mind taking a picture from a bit further back? I’d love to see the entire jar. It almost seems like moisture is wicking out of that blue port-looking piece, especially with the way the water is running down the side. However, I can't quite see the whole setup in the current shot.










Here’s the setup: 
A silicone tube down to the bottom.
There’s also a stir bar in the glass for the magnetic stirrer.

I had already considered whether stirring might be forcing liquid up through the tube and causing it to spill out, 
but the droplets are finely distributed and still present even after a day without stirring. :/



I truly appreciate you sharing more pictures! As you can see from the responses, they are incredibly helpful for troubleshooting. The trusted cultivators also mentioned something I was considering: the possibility that the foil might be creating a barrier that traps moisture. I just wanted to clarify the details about the blue port piece before making that suggestion. When I first started, I thought I could simply expand on what I received from the vendor and have a wealth of resources to grow with. However, over the past year, I’ve discovered that starting with Agar would have been the best choice for me, and then gradually moving on to more complex techniques for expansion and growth. Keep up the great work, and don’t hesitate to post and ask questions! I learned so much from the trusted cultivators here, especially through my failures and the discussions that ultimately led to what I consider my successes so far.

Do you have kids?
If so, when they misbehave violently and seemingly know what they are doing, do you hit them with a wet towel  and call them names or do you give them a speech and send them to their room to think about what they had done?

He’s not a child, he is a grown man who was threatening people for no reason at all.

I think if we all want to continue this conversation about him we should move it somewhere more appropriate like confessional.  Lets let this thread go back to it’s intended purpose.

Ok I’ll help us get back on track. How do these look 6 days in? First pic is blue oyster, other two are cube (wikid and Argentina for those curious). I have one more jar that went green already. Could there still be mold hiding in the jar’s pictured, or would it have shown up by now? I think it would be good to try to shake the wedge further into the grain, but that seems to not go well for me usually.

Looks good so far.  Molds can express at any stage of colonization (even very late). Shaking is good.  If your jar goes south after shaking, it was fucked anyway.  Not shaking often just delays that realization.  Not that you asked, but your grain prep looks good btw :thumbup:

The oyster mushroom looks good.  I'll let the cube experts chime in on the others.

And green can absolutely show up still.  A lot of molds will start to spore after they're disturbed.  So, post shake is a better indication.

I had some grains sitting around in sterile packaging for a while before putting them to agar on 6/4 and I'm just now seeing them come to life. Is that normal?



In my experience, for reviving mycelium from dry storage, yes, that is normal. I'd say 4-7 days I would consider fast, 10-20 days is fairly standard. I've experienced a wide range of time frames that it takes for mycelium to "wake up"

Thanks all for the comments on Pans in monos… will see if I can make it happen with compost following Baba tek.  If it crashes and burns, will chalk it up to learning and share the experiences on a more appropriate thread.

Somebody lied to you, we all suggest misting if needed.



If it's a mono tub and you need to mess with it. You didn't properly hydrate it when you started out.

But shoeboxes have a lot of air flowing on them, and I can understand why people would want to mist it.

Has anyone taken an actual chemical sprayer like they sell at Home Depot and managed to run the whole thing through a pressure canner?
It's some hardy plastic and I really want to just have a batch of LC in it and then just run it as is detached and then I can re-hook it up together in front of the FFU. And inoculate it. That way I would just have a sprayer filled with liquid culture that I could spray at will.

Ideally, ready to go almost at all times that way, as I am driving around and I see big piles of fresh wood chips getting ready to get spread. I go over there and spray that down real quick.
