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?




I often get that too and a while ago I tried transferring a tiny piece of only the outermost part to a new plate and got plins with it after a while so it doesn't bother me anymore

Thanks for your answers. I'll try to transfer it to a new plate today, but as ansr say, the fact that the plins have grown from something like this, calms me down.

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....

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

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 :shrug:  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.

BVI was already domesticated when Gordo got it.  Outside of mutations and likely epigenetics from cloning, which you should do yourself for your own environment, the genes were already quite stable.

The rest is marketing.

Anyway there's trusted vendors on the site, and that's who we recommend for microscopy spores etc.

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 :shrug:

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?

I just leave aborts.  Or harvest them when I pull a flush and add them to a dehydrator tray.

I'm guessing this is contamination (orange and black stuff) any clue what kind?

I think that might be rust from using metal 2 piece lids.

Sweet thanks! The one I have now has no temp control, I like that this one does.

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.

I set mine at 160° and run it until the fruit is cracker dry. For the last few runs I've done I haven't needed anywhere near 24 hours - More like six to eight - but for a really big volume of mushrooms I imagine you might need more time.

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. :lol:


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.


:shrug: 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.

Take 2 prints from each cap - 1st one 12 hours, 2nd one 24 hours. The second one will be much cleaner than the first, but spore prints are inherently dirty so no need to obsess over sterile technique. The caps were grown in open air, so they are covered in other microbes and spores already. This is why agar work is important, so you can work around those contams.

If that reply was directed to me - yeah, I always double print, which also increases the time taken. :lol:

Not so much an obsession with sterile technique, just being meticulous since most of my prints are given away takes time.

But I will totally concede that taking a backup print for yourself doesn't need to be a whole operation. Sorry for derailing the thread a bit.

If you get one of those roller cutters (that look like pizza cutters but are more for scrapbooking) then you can just pull a sheet of foil, leave it whole, toss some caps on it pretty much just side by side, and cover. Once it's printed just roller cut them super quick into their appropriate sections.

It only takes like 5 minutes max to make any reasonable number of prints. Alcohol is only if you want. I don't stress about all the individual steps because I always go MS to T1 regardless just assuming there is a hidden contaminant.

I only take prints to be comfortable in case a bunch of plates and grows somehow fail at once, or if I plan to take a hiatus, or if I plan to send some out.


Prints are one of the quickest and easiest things in the hobby and just give you fresh insurance on future failures. If your prints are over a year old no reason not to refresh them
