I'm not a vendor but I sure did look into selling gellan gum plates and premixed media at one point. It's mostly marketing and seems like lots of leg work to make a few bucks. Lab grade media components are cheaper and more consistent than kitchen stuff.

Thatโ€™s impressive. Initially wondered why you posted pouches.

When you say "harvest the little shrooms", you mean the ones that haven't reached the surface? If so, why should I not let them grow?

You can let them grow if you'd like. They'll grow more:mushroom2: But they aren't going to be able to reach full potential without more space and moisture. That's all. Side pins certainly still do the job though:shroomin:

Those are your second flush, the first shroom was your first. Whether you harvest them or grow them out, the remaining nutrition and moisture is your limiting factor, harvesting them won't hurt the final outcome provided the spawn is clean, if that's what you'd like to do:smile::mushroom2:

Hope this helps to clarify!:mushroom2:

Thank you! I've been second guessing my surface conditions, especially with the droplets and the corners looking dry. But it seems happy so far




Sometimes, when I stack tubs it causes the corners to rise up, allowing extra unintended air currents that dry out the corners.

I think you could definitely make a pretty penny off prepoured plates and sterile SHIP + breathable Membrane culture media jar.

Would also be a net positive in general.

QQ: What size plates are y'all using for agar 2 grain transfers (and agar work in general)?

I'm eyeballing these freakishly large 120mm plates and thinking about using them to colonize my 3.5lb (12 cup) spawn bags.

Or should I go the traditional route with 90mm plates > jars > more jars > bags?

Shoot. I just like 90mm. Canโ€™t think of going any higher.

I like to quarter it for four jars. Still seems fast even with plate 1/4 colonized. Canโ€™t imagine needing more.

Hell yeah man, my bags are the equivalent of four jars so I'll just do one plate to one bag and call it a day. Thank you!

Hey, Chosen. What's your favorite way to go about re-sterilizing these dishes? Are you a no-pour kinda guy or do you pour in a SAB/FFU?

It depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. If I need them fast then I use Reverendmycs jar tek. Best way to go if you don't want to wait for condensation to clear. The drawback is it's a little space limited so you'll have to do smaller batches.
Another method is in the oven.. which takes a lot longer and you'll have to test your oven for proper temperature and whether it heats evenly. Mine doesn't and I warped a couple lids. Scemilope has a dry heat chart that's very helpful. I thought I saved a copy but I'm not finding it at the moment. Either way run time is very long.
I've settled on stacks of ten wrapped with tin foil. Two separate pieces and wrap twice. Sometimes there's condensation and sometimes there's not. A few weeks in a cupboard and they're totally dry. I like this because I can run about 70 to 80 at a time in a presto 26. I've had no trouble storing them in the cupboard with the tin foil wrap only and haven't had to add any further protection.
Edit*
Works for both pre and post pour but the way I wrap them doesn't keep them very level so I mostly just post pour. Changing the way I wrap would probably solve this though.

To add to what TCO said.

Don't let pp5 containers touch the side of the PC during the cycle.  I lost a bunch like that.  And switched to glass since they're easier to sterilize in the oven.

I bought one used.
Kinda expensive for what it is.
Hard to open in smaller SABs.
I donโ€™t like no pour, so itโ€™s for dry heat sterilizing empty plates in the oven.
Foil wrapped smaller stacks are easier to handle and help with portion control. lol

If your ac kicks on should be enough air movement.

If your grain is fully colonized and clean, โ€œdustโ€ shouldnโ€™t be a problem
