Good morning everyone
Its a dish with a mushroom tissue clone. I am uncertain about this border around it. Could it be some kind of contamination going under the mycelium, or is it just the front of the mycelium?

The tek they followed was PF Tek, but with pans.  Now they're casing pans with soil and asking about cube surface conditions.  Mixing pan cyan advice with something more closely related to cinctulis.  Probably more   And none of this goes into offering advice without experience in noob threads.  Which creates a signal to noise ratio for new folks, and makes me wish we had a shadow ban feature since puppets and VPNs are a thing.

Anyway, best I can do on potting soil as a casing is put grass seed on it.  Keep it very humid until the grass sprouts.  And then water the grass as needed until you see pins.  Or just bury some cakes outside and let mother nature help.

Outside of that, learn to use the search function and copy a cinctulis grow.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of vendors that carry ttbvi spores that are from gordotek genetics?

This tub of Yeti is on flush 2-3. I pulled the good looking fruits this morning. What do y'all do with the microfruits who's caps are just starting to turn black?  Toss or dry?

Also lots of aborts in this tub now and I'm thinking it's time to toss it but I'm curious what you might do? I see a lot of good looking primordia here too....

Depends how big they are, but if they're really tiny/insubstantial I just toss them. If they're big enough that I can pick them and they can sit in my dehydrator I'll throw them in.

Can't hurt to throw them in but when they just fall apart or have more verm stuck to them than actual mushroom matter it doesn't feel worth it

And can't hurt to keep things going for a little while to see what happens. Unless you need the space for a new project, why not see how things play out?

Looking to get a new dehydrator! This thing would be ok right??

I’ve got a very similar one, works great

Temp control is cool but I just set it to max anyway. I heard 165 f for 24 hours is recommended but I could be wrong.

Taking prints always takes me way longer than taking a clone. OTOH a print doesn't require ongoing maintenance or result in a proliferation of cryovials and other ways to store cultures.

Really?? It's super super fast to me. Just cut the cap off, place it on a isopropyl rubbed square of foil, put a drop of water on top of the cap and cover. Even if you do a ton of them it goes super quick.

It's just a lot of steps. But I'm usually taking 5+ prints at a time. Collecting the caps and avoiding getting them dirty, tearing off some foil without getting it dirty (I'm kinda surprised you get away with wiping the surface with alcohol, I just use a portion that only never touched other foil), and the final folding up at the end, it just takes some time.

Maybe if I were making a single print and had prepped lots of individual squares of foil like I do plates it would feel more similar though.
