I dry em in a sterile environment so they’re presumably clean when revived.  I just throw em on water agar (no need for nutes as the grain is the nute source)..  just revived some MiB dry grains

Ihe said dry grains.  Put em in a swab pack.  They’ll last for years. Cryovials work too.. I’d just be sure to wrap em



No need to refrigerate

You can just leave a small amount in the bottom of a spawn jar (obv with the lid back on.)  but that takes a while.  If you have a hood, you can put em in a Petri dish for a day and they’ll dry real fast


Perfection.  This fits the bill for space efficient too.  Thanks faht!

Do you break and shake only once after colonization has reached around 30% or so? Or do you do it again at another point maybe to see if it bounces back or not? Or do you just break and shake that one time to spread it out and then just leave it alone until full colonization?

I shake only once after colonization has reached around 30% or so.

Helps if you leave some room at the top of the jar when you make them. 2 inches or so.

I shake atleast twice usually. I know peeps that shake more than that even. As long as its clean it should recover fine.

I make specialized lids Here but like I said, you can just leave some grains in the bottom of your jar when you spawn.. it takes a while because most spawn jars only have small ge filters.  One could probably pc some tyvek pouches and put em in there in your SAB.  I’d probably double up on the tyvek tho

If you use a sheet of tyvek just larger than your lid, or a full size sfd then you can remove the metal off the top if you hold the filter down

let it ride, clone  from the cluster ?
then harvest all, clean it up, rehydrate (if becessary) case and  go for third flush?

Aren't the white dots on some caps mold? Would you just cut them off?

you can if you want to, but thats almost certainly not mold but mycelium taking over again.
as long as the mushrooms are not and DO NOT smell rotten.

I have a weird shoebox growing rn, theres definitely mold in the middle but some pins are managing to grow on the outskirts. Is it worth letting them grow? Is consuming them even safe?

I wouldn't consume them, some here would. This was a topic on this same thread 3 days ago.

I replied here, there are some replies after that strongly disagreeing with me, basically calling me a pussy because I won't eat shrooms from a moldy or bacterial grow. haha.

Same topic came up a couple months ago, I gave a similar answer, there were similar replies.

So I guess the answer is "depends on who you ask."

If you are going to eat them I'd damn well boil them into tea to maybe kill anything on them and drink that. But it still might have some microbial toxins from the mold. Some molds, not a problem. Other molds, a problem.

Is it your first grow? I know it's hard to toss a first grow, and I'm still not saying to toss it.

If you post a photo you'll get answers that more match your grow.

It’ll eventually dominate the tub but if you’re really set on salvaging anything just take any pins/fruit close to the edge of contamination and keep taking them daily as it spreads, with any luck you might have some on the outside edges make it to maturity before it totally succumbs, cut off anything on the fruits with mould on it and dispose of them, if you’re worried about consuming anything suss just make a tea with it all and keep in the freezer to use at your leisure.

up to you if its worth it.  if I had mold in a tub inside I'd cover it with moist paper towel or something to minimize the chance of it spewing spores all over, but that might be considered hokey by others here. or possibly cut out the contam and chuck it.

if you do consume them, at the very least dry them well first.  drying equates to pasteurizing the mushrooms.  while this doesn't eliminate every hazard, it eliminates bacteria itself as a pathogen of concern.  might also actually trim your way up the stipe and look for any discoloration.

If that's all just spores you can pick it now, dry it well, and eat it. It's all spores right? Front left has 2 dark caps that look blue, what's that? Is it just bluing from shroom cap curling around top of itself? Or just dry spore dump reflecting light weird?

some of the caps might be far gone. But the stems mostly look good and there are still some shrooms there that haven't even opened up yet. Those could be picked now, or mist it if needed and let grow.
