How long are Master jars (ochras) good for?

I have a quarter jar of grain left from g2g transfers 4-5 weeks after full colonization.

It looks good more or less.

I just finished prepping some grain, and have some agar going as well, but assume the masters will be ok. Just worried about senescence.

Anyone with similar experience?

Senescence is a matter of cell division more than time , it's likely fine

Are these still good to eat? They don't have any funky smell, just the black spores all over the place...

I got a CVG tub that is about 39 hours old that I been opening for FEA and it has a strange smell to it. It just smelled like soil but this time it had a hint of this smell that reminded me of yeast. It wasn't a alcohol smell more like bread yeast that has just been opened. Nothing sour or foul just soil and something else im hoping is the mushrooms but it smells different mixed in the soil.

Is it normal to smell slightly like bread yeast?

Yeast eats the same stuff mushrooms do

I hope its not yeast I don't know where it would have came from. However I have worked with yeast in the past and it doesn't smell like yeast that is fermenting and slightly different.  I think its just the mushrooms hopefully it will have a better smell in a few days its not super yeasty just a slight fungal smell similar to bread yeast but different it might be the grain mycelium mix. Actually I just opened it and it just reminded me of the smell of the garden section at the hardware store. It doesn't smell like yeast at all maybe it was from not allowing any air for 12 hours :shrug: its all under the surface though I just open it a couple times a day to change the surface air it's not getting high fresh air or anything.

You dont need to open the lid before full colonization, if at all. What size tub are you using? What style lid?

Yeast usually comes from your hands. It is native to soft peel fruits, and grains.

I had a yeast infection in a tub once and I had no clue it was there until it did this

that's what I got 32oz grain 48oz CVG I guess I will not open it as much I just thought it could benefit from air every now and again the grain jars have air holes.

Im going to double tub with perlite at the bottom once it gets fully grown. I will continue to watch it I did use my hands to squeeze the coir but washed them with soap first.

My white Christmas!

I'm not sure when to harvest these ACC fruits. This is my first albino. Should I let them go for another day or two? Usually I harvest when I see spores starting to drop.

Thanks, FB! A little better each day!

I'm comfortable with cubes in shoeboxes. Now I need to figure out how to get bigger fruits from them. They always seem to come out on the small side.

Do they have veils or are they more like penis envy?

Anyway, you can feel mushroom spores.  Even if they are clear.  They feel sticky.  So if you feel sticky stuff on any of the lower caps, they're dropping spores.

Also beautiful grow!  Almost makes me want to grow some cubes.  But...  To many pans and to little time :shrug:

@Gil, just earlier this morning, I was just re-reading Fahtster’s laymixing post and he dropped this relevant little nugget from eatyoualive’s “substrate as casing” post in there…:

…The pinsets are always extremely dense with this method. Several different casing depths have been tried, anywhere from 1/4", 1/3", 1/2". Trials in this lab find a thinner 1/4" casing depth causes smaller fruits and lower yield. When the casing is deeper than 1/4" the fruits increase in size and yield is normal….

Sorry. I missed tco's explanation.

Here is where I purchased the flow hood: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1475242874/flow-hood-3d-printed-165x125

I would appreciate having your assessment of the flow hood. I certainly did not do well with oven tek...

Thank you, TF! I'm just a lowly toad aspiring to be a tree frog someday! :lol:

These do not have a veil. I'll try the touch method for stickyness.

Thanks for the advice!

Outstanding! I'll try a thicker casing on these purple mystic and thai elephant dung jars I'll be spawning tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice!
