Long rhizo also can indicate enmeshed unfriendlies. Don't get too excited yet.

In all I think I got around 80g dried out of a 4l cake. is that anywhere near decent?

41 cakes should be 410 dry u should average 10 15 gs dry in 2 flushes

Hmm, on the topic of long rhizo. I had this plate. I used a sterilized tweezer to grab an arm. One of them did contam after, which is sketchy, but could've been carelessness.



In the transfer plate, it did continue to exten in that shape, but the more regular mycelium seems to be keeping pace.



Does this raise any redflags (besides the sediment which I am aware of)? I put that original plate to grain, growing a lot, perhaps too much. Just shook it earlier so I suppose I will find out.

what is this contamination? culture was good, spawn was extremely strong, only thing that was a bit sketchy was old coir that's been in contact with some dirty jars. sucks this is my last good jaw of spawn theyve all contaminated.

conditions are less than ideal, its a sealed off closet with fresh air being sucked in thru a vivosun ac unit, but it gets kind of hot in there. got trich, this shit, and some bacteria causing metabolites. any advice? using un modified tubs, thinking I have a FAE or airflow issue?

grow room is probably 77 degrees and slightly more humid than the rest of the space. any chance cube myc can beat this?

looks like cobweb mold or white mold, but im not a specialist. toss it

its decent if it was worth it to you
and you got fruite, right?

Never use old hydrated coir. Made some last week that I had kept in a mushroom bag to use later and then 5 days later that coir had mold growing!



Ill only use freshly made coir from now on

Also its pretty hot in your room for cubes and seems like your fae is low, good recipe for mold.  Perhaps try some ez-dial tubs invented by the godly pastywhyte for some more fae not unmodified tubs

Hey all, I’m getting back into this after 7 years. I read the boneyard thread and I’m wondering what else is outdated info that I used to do.
Back then I made pasty plates, prints to agar, agar to oat jars, oat spawn to unmodified monos with coir.
Basically I followed Bods teks to a T and it worked well.

Is there anything new I need to know regarding using that same tek?

If it worked then it will work today. Personally i think I see a lot fewer people using oats but that might be subjective. I prefer my own EzDialed monos for cubes while I used a different configuration for exotics if I did them. Styles of growing do shift but honestly the biggest developments have involved species other than cubes. Pans, zaps, woodlovers, etc seem better understood in a few ways and some impressive results yielded.
