@splittinghairs - i just had this situation a few weeks ago - and I for sure cloned that single pin and will be going forward with it, because it was a successful fruit - or that’s my justification for doing it, anyway.

Going back to spores is fine too, but if you've got enough fruit to make a clone culture, you’ll get to your objective maybe a little more quickly.

Good to know. I tried cloning from an outdoor specimen once and I got contamination. I should have maybe cloned that nice fruit I got from the indoor shroom recently and tried it on a few jars to see if fruits came much easier.

Bummer. I kind of forgot about why cloning can be beneficial.

Will micropore tape let water vapor pass through?

I'm concerned about my dehydrator blowing out spores from the shrooms as they dehydrate, because I'm prone to lung issues and irritation from dust and other fine stuff in the air. Was thinking of putting a layer of micropore tape over the vent holes at the top, to trap the spores but let the air exit. But I'm not sure if it'll trap the moisture inside too.

Don’t block the vents on your dehydrator. It will overheat. If you’re worried about spores put the dehydrator somewhere else. It will blow spores around.

The photo below is two sides of the same jar. Does this look ready for a shake? It's Agar to grain on January 17th so 9 days ago.... Not all the jars in this cohort are as colonized as this one but I figure I should probably shake on a case-by-case basis.

Definitely. That jsr is way past due for a a shake. I shake my jars when I got like a golf ball size patch of mycelium.

Get that shit spread around and moving early.

Sometimes I do it when its only the size of a quarter. As long as there's mycelium to spread around. your good.

If it's that much of an issue I'd suggest you harvest before they are releasing spores or grow a sporeless variety. In no way should you ever restrict or block your dehydrator.

I'd also run an air filter in the room while you run the dehydrator.

How long does it usually take for you to see growth on low/no nute agar? I've got some plates that are about two weeks old showing absolutely no growth. I've done some low nude plates that took a long time to recover, and the growth is always pretty weak, but this is a little ridiculous.

Piggy I successfully completed a full mushroom, spores to spores, and I haven't heard any peep from you. If you have any top fruiting advice, legit advice only please, please feel free to chime in on my cinctulus thread I have a question on if a casing is absolutely necessary with some jars that look kind of happy with the dry verm layer left on top.

With all the condensation I get I can't get a good shot. But I think the condensation is my problem. I think everything got water logged.
