Hello everyone, this is agar that is probably too wet. I put ochra spores to it on Saturday in my SAB. Does that look like bacteria or does that look like mycelium?

---

seems fast, but with ochra maybe? but very hard to tell from blurry pics

Thanks! Always good to get a second opinion. I trust shroomery the most. Any clue what the contamination is?

Going to try wbs for the first time. I think I saw somewhere mushboybsaid he just soaks forn24 hours, no simmer or nothing. Is this a good way to go about it? From whatvin reading simmering can make things slimy as fuck.

Does everything look okay with my tub?

Looks good to me, the right side near the edge looks a little dry, but that may just be the lighting.

On a separate note! My man! Your presence has been summoned over at the noob of the moment! I think you may have been MIA at the time but you were the nomination before the current

We await your arrival to celebrate you

Thank you!

And wow! I’ve been in a bit of a rut after my birthday and have been trying to figure some stuff out - leading to me not being able to pour as much love into the art as I’ve wanted - so I knew I had quite a bit to catch up on and read but never expected to be nominated, thank you again for the advice and the news

That's what I tried to do when I made a casing layer but I ended up making enough to fill half a tub because I had to cut it with a saw. I guess I can scoop out 32 oz but should I add hot water to the vermiculte separately then combine I was going to add boiling water to both dry coir and verm then squeeze out to field capacity. I just don't think I can get the correct ratio of coir unless I did separate field capacity soaks.

First time using brown rice and coco coir, wondering on a casing layer. Do I use the coir or vermiculite and how thick should it be (sorry, two questions I guess) .

Looks fuckin sexy

If this is cubensis, you dont need to bother with it. If you wanna do it anyway though, add enough to cover the myc, or 1/4" if you need a more quantitive amount to eye.

Vermiculite makes more sense to me than coir, but that is backed up by nothing but my gut and should be taken for the opinion that it is.

---

Well, for what it's worth, my gut tells me that I never want to buy another bag of vermiculite for as long as I live

How do you make small amount of coco coir? I was trying to get 32oz of coir I was going to do 32oz coir 32 oz grade 3 vermiculte 32 oz grain spawn and .4 cup of gypsum. I got a 96oz food storage container im trying to fruit in my jar is 80% done it looks good so far. I think CVG has a better success rate than if I use manure my chance of mold is lower this way.
