So I made PF jars w/ added blended up coffee filters w/ grounds (updated again! see latest reply)
    #4979049 - 11/25/05 02:49 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I made three of them. I followed the normal recipie, but for each jar I also had a normal paper single-serve coffee filter, and enough grounds for 1 cup of coffee. They were all nice and wet, so I needed not add more water to the ratios.

I injected 2 of them with some pretty weak B+ sporewater. The third I injected with my first attempt at an LC that I hope was not contaminated. Although with straight honeywater I find it very hard to tell.

Been 3 days so far, no signs of growth, but that is entirely normal.

<<Update in my most recent reply! Thar be high quality photos!>>

Allright, here's a set of high quality 400x300 photos. Luckily I got ahold of a Sony DVC 5.1 megapixel camera  :thumbup:

The jars are all very dark because of high coffee ground content. I would say a great upside to this is making it dirt easy to spot mycelial growth once it appears, unless it is stained by the coffee and isnt white as normal. No growth whatsoever yet, but I'm at the high end of room temperature, 80 degrees at best. Only been 3 or 4 days.

Jar inoculated with unknown strain honeywater LC:



Jars inoculated with B+ strain spores:



Im anxiously awaiting the development of these jars. Although I think I should have used less coffee grounds. Theyre used though, so are way less strong than fresh or unused.

my recommendation (even if this does grow), DONT use grounds. Use brewed coffee. And not even that much. I make an 11:1 deal with my water to coffee.

i dont think the grounds are a great idea. but who knows! good luck!

Yeah, I wouldn't have used fresh coffee grounds. You want the old used stuff. You said you noc'd it up with an LC? If so, you should be seeing growth already.

Heh well to be honest my LC was highly suspect (unsure of contams and unsure if I was sure to suck up enough mycellium, if any). My innoc holes are also not exceptionally close to the edge of the jar.

Note that there is also close to the normal amount of BRF and verm in there. So by any logic unless I've flooded them they should at least start to colonize.

And I used coffee grounds that I had made coffee with and drained.

no, coffee grounds are bad period. you dont want any of that in there. Next time mix coffee (the liquid) in with your water. It wont fuck with the ratios, still delivers the goods, and is less harsh methinks.

Right then... I'll just go that route next time.

Sounds like it's easier to do anyways.

The spore jars are starting to show signs of growth and the LC jar really took the hell off! I'm very happy, I was actually concerned that the slant I did the LC in would contaminate, but it didnt. Here is images of the LC inoculated jar (I'm proud of the macro work here)

for some reason the images make it look more soggy than it is, but it does have a little too much moisture in there. I used too much LC  :tongue:

I'm betting that cake will be finished in about a week.

I'm really glad you did this. Every Monday at work I get the idea that maybe I'll see if used coffee grounds will grow shrooms as well as it grows that green stuff that is always in there when someone doesn't dump the filter basket.

Yarry if you see this, what does the coffee do when added to the water like you suggested? I've been wondering if coffee provides myc nutes- if I recall there are a lot of natural sugars in roasted coffee.

Heck, its almost done by now. If I so desired I could birth it by this upcoming wednesday, at least I'd estimate so, especially given the rapid growth thus far.
