So with inoculation loops would scraping spores into a small little bit of tap water help for agar?

Or just sterilize loop, drop water on loop, scrape print?

Or cool loop and dry scrape spores?

The journey has been fun so far. But got two prints I wanna do right and maximize yield

you can do whatever is easiest for you just use sterile water.

i like keeping sterile water syringes handy for prints.

Does it need to be sterile? Shoot.

Might need to just cool on agar and scrape. Don’t wanna blow the full print if it needs to be sterile.

Definitely needs to be sterile.

I have had fine luck with dry loop scrapes. Give it a go.

you just need the tiniest scrapping of spores a single quarter sized print could make you about 50 syringes easily.

For prints you don’t really NEED to add water. If you’re worried about hydration, poke loop into the agar during inoculation. Puts a few spores inside the agar. Usually I don’t have problems streaking even years old prints.

But as others have said, any water you use definitely needs to be sterile.

I always end up with a few dishes with condensation on the lids.  I occasionally use the condensation to wet the loop after dry scraping.

So I've got these unmodded 12 qt shoeboxes. Lotta condensation recycling happening right now which I'm assuming is fine since they're not fully colonized but is this gonna be a problem in the near future? If it is what's the plan, flip the lid and observe? Punch some holes?

Good tip. I always wrap a little stack of plates off the top asap after pouring to keep the condensation for germ plates

Anybody know if coir can be pastuerized using hydrated lime? I was thinking of adding lime water and soaking for 24 hours then bringing it too field capacity after pastuerization. Kinda like I do with the straw, minus the onion sack parts

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/29212165

I have a couple large blocks from about 10 years ago that have been through 4 moves and not in sealed packages. Id hate to waste the stuff. Just wanted to see if anybody else has had luck in this department?
Thanks in advance for any input!

coir doesnt have an expiration date.

I’ve been wiping the undersides of the lids with paper towels so the drops don’t fall down and make the myc all matted or bruise the fruits.  Holes would probably work too, but I’ve just been trying to stay the unmoddded course for now.
