It'll be all right. You can either pluck that pin.  Or just bottom water with it there. We do 24 dunks with pins left on all the time.

If it's actually blue you're saying it's probably just some bruising maybe from drying out.

If you want to ease your mind you can do the Q-tip test.  take a Q-tip rub on the blue .  if anything transfers to the Q-tip then you'll know it's mold. If not it's just bruising.

To me it looks like bruising. Its def blue.  But it's a little hard to tell. I do kind of get the small impression that a little bit of the discoloration has a powdery look and if that's the case it could be mold. Definitely check with the Q-tip.

Lol yes. This PF tek is still in the fruiting chamber. Sadly I'm still at 0, but it IS fruiting. My big struggle is figuring out the humidity / fresh air exchange flow.


Use a Hygromer to detect humidity, use a computer USB-fan plugged into a 5v low power charger, and it can blow air around your grow chamber, fan on the outside away from humidity.


HydroShroom24 said:
It works great for me, so I am simply telling my success story. The fan was brand new, and clean, and was just near the grow chamber, so it didn't dry out the grow.

Instead of just claiming I don't' know what I'm talking about, how about you give some evidence or a logical reason? Otherwise your just not being useful.

A hygrometer sure, is optional, and it is also useful if a person wants to detect the humidity content of the grow chamber.








Hydrometers in this hobby are absolutely useless.

They do not measure the humidity at the surface of your substrates. Whicjis wjat you want..so they are pointless.

Many very trusted members will tell you the same.  You'll be getting false readings.

Its just a waste of money and false sense of security.

We monitor our humitdy etc.  by the surface conditions.  These things produce plenty humidity on thier own.  Its up to us to dial in with the proper amount of airflow balance


No if I do anything in the future, it'll be modding or getting a tub witha  reptile fogger attachment for humidity control. But thats if I invest more into the hobby over time.  Edit: For now the best advice was moving it to a smaller container and also closer to the water. Still trouble shooting AHB. Beef extremes posts on AHB have been my bible during this phase. Its just a lot trickier to achieve surface conditions that it has been with cultivating clean substrate. I'm also positive a prior question wasnt answered, so I just wanted to double check again:









Are these good for grain or should I wait until full plate colonization?

Automated tubs are only needed for exotics.

Your plates look like T0's, are they?

When my bird was looking at my computer monitor, I thought, "that bird has no idea what he's looking at." And yet, what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can't really panic, he just does the best he can... You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.

LC sellers often claim something about a limited life cycle of several months.
Is this true? Is there some noticable degradation at a certain age?
What's the longest surviving culture you've had, how many agar transfers do you think is viable?

AH my bad, sorry for misinterpreting.

The blue plate was spore swabbed, the other three were a spore print, so yes, they are spore plates.

No worries, like Blopblop said, take some transfers from a clean looking leading edge to new plates, you want even and uniform growth before sending to grain, or at least I do :rockon:

Can you show me which areas youre talking about? Agar is a new beast for me, and distinghuishing clean edges from potential contam is something Id rather avoid

Just did the Q-tip test and nothing came off other than a little verm so I guess I'm good. Didn't really seem powdery either - more like myc just clinging to the edges of the lid that got a bit bruised

I popped it off before bottom watering. I think it was already off the cake and starting to dry out in there considering it already seems to have lost some water weight. Into the dehydrator!

Kinda unsettles me a bit to boil mushroom substrate in plastic bags - especially with gourmet mushrooms.



Oyster mushrooms have enzymes that will break plastic down into simpler molecules.  You probably get more microplastics from your clothing and water supply than you would from mushrooms.

Also, that meme is garbage.  They're obviously cooking rice (image on the left)  and there's no source outside of the meme showing up on iFunny and Facebook. Generally, with a bunch of hateful transphobic comments afterwards.

But the comments here do mention the original tweet.  It was in regards to cooking rice, not transfolks.  (And there's a lot of hateful comments, so be warned if you are sensitive to that.)

What's a good spawn to coir ratio when you break up PF Tek cakes after they have fruited once? I'm thinking 1:2 but maybe I can stretch it further.
