There are still uncolonized kernels, so no. Give it a few days until each kernel at least is covered.

Seems likely to be bacterial as well, due to uncolonized portions, minor wetter areas, condensation atlhough that could be temperature.

There are better, safer methods than drippy corn. Check out Crack's no prep millet.

Even if bacterial, I think you'll get a flush from those.

Do them in separate shoeboxes to minimize cross contamination.

Agar Wedge said:
Looks like tomentose growth to me, it's super common with T1s from a germ plate. Theres a lot of genetics in there, and as the plates grow out more, you will likely see some rhizomorphic expression:mushroom2:

Edit: the bottom left one makes me think mold because of that long section of clear growth. Sorry for the uncertainty. The condensation is throwing me for a loop


These are T3s after a trench :sad: sounds like I've been chasing mold. They actually both have those long sections of very thin clear growth all the way around, the camera is just very bad at picking it up. I hadn't heard about that identification criteria. So if I see that long clear growth it's most likely mold?

Feels bad to have put in all that effort chasing mold, but I've got some baccy orissia transfers that are rhizo and about to jump the trench, and a Malibar plate that's rhizo too that partially has mycogone (I think) that's going to some trenches soon too. Onwards and upwards I suppose. Thanks for ending the mold chase now!

Yep, mycelium sometimes has "halo" but when it's long like that you can be certain it's mold.

it's hard to accept, been there man. Dozens of plates, right in the trash. I even had a shoebox of cultivated mold :rofl: On the bright side, it's a learning experience and you can be certain next time:mushroom2: a pretty common obstacle most of us encounter starting out.

Good on you for keeping to projects rolling:rockon::mushroom2:

Check out the island cleanup link in my signature, it's an easier version of the trench.

You've done the work of getting into agar, it's only a matter of time until you have more mushrooms than you know what to do with:mushroom2:

Opinion on fruiting AIO jars: top-fruit in the jar or โ€˜birthโ€™ it? If I birth it do I soak it before casing?

Can anyone enlighten me with what the hell is going on here?

Jack Frost 2nd flush. 1st flush was totally normal and yielded a massive canopy.

I have to admit that the cake cracked I think due to drying because I upped the FAE the las couple of days before harvesting the 1st flush.

All other tubs, run with the same culture have given some nice healthy 2nd flushes. Im just curious. These look like some weird mutations.

Thoughts?

Thanks team!

Those are early flush deformed mushrooms, the rest of the flush should come through normal.

I shoeboxed some bacterial spawn and some of the mushrooms are looking like this on the caps, others just have some minor bacterial blotch spots (I believe). Fine to dehydrate and eat or should I just not?

Kinda reminds me of a dune sand worm

I'd cut away from any parts that are actively decomposing, but the rest is good to go. Harvest those now though, the longer the wait, the more contaminated it will.

I can't say if 5 weeks is typical, but some of the year old ones end up looking vile.

as some of you know I gathered my mckennais from the other day (first kit), 150-160g wet...

I started drying but then I had to leave for work, bad timing.. took them out the drier and left the drying layers/whatever you want to call them out in the middle of the room..

came back to lots of blueing, I understand it means potency loss, but is there any chance they've gone bad/gotten moldy? was away for 8-9 hours, dehydrated for 1-2 before leaving, currently dehydrating more..

pics later?

what in a mono well water will collect on the lid of the tub and when i fan in i just use the lid so it rains back down rehydrating the sub :thumbup:



The problem lots of people have found with dropping whatever on your lid back into your substrate. Is it causes trich to form in those spots. Its pretty well known these days.

So much so that recently lots of us have started looking to intervene. Trying to figure out a way to prevent this. IE taping paper towels to the underside of the lid or some sort of water catcher/wicking mechanism.


I usually just keep an eye on it and wipe it down whenever I'm checking things out.

But I'm looking into intervening as well and I think I'm going to tape a small patch of doggy potty pads to the lid or maybe like a few strips of it running down the middle and both sides in order to help collect that water.

When and if it's necessary for you to mist it's best to use a super fine mister indirectly from a couple feet above.

No, this sounds highly unlikely to me. There are enough people that just leave them to dry outside of the fridge or dehydrator (which is not good for potency, but shows that they usually donโ€™t get mould). In your case they even dried a bit in the dehydrator first, and also 8-9 hours is a pretty short time.

I've noticed that when I leave something on top of a tub, like a marker or a roll of tape or whatever, that condensation tends to go away underneath the item. Havent played around with this observation, but I'm wondering if just adding something to the top of the lid gives it more thermal mass and creates less of a temp differential for condensation to form. Maybe a clear silicone baking sheet? I've also noticed that having a light source that puts out a little heat close to the lid creates bare spots in the condensation. Just kinda spitballing here

Hmm. Good observations.  I also noticed t that with the holes. Like if you got an easy dial if you look around the holes there tends to be space between the condensation in the hole.  Maybe.. like a grid of super tiny needle size holes in the lid could help

I would like to improve my culture skills specifically selecting and transferring aerial mycelium to new plates. Could someone please point me in the right direction?


I have tried searching for "aerial mycelium tek", "forceps transfer tek", and a few other combinations of similar terms with no luck. Am I calling the procedure by the wrong names?


Thank you in advance!

The ez dial holes thing has to be from moving air imo, though I feel like Beef has talked about putting holes in the lid before and swearing against it lol. I wonder if you could run a tiny fan on a closed loop type system to get the air inside the tub moving around more. Prolly just run a dreamer at that point though.
