casing stalled
    #5404597 - 03/15/06 05:08 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

heyah, I mixed crushed oystershell,sphagnum peatmoss,and vermiculite 50/50+. put a half inch of casing on the bottom of a 2 quart microwavable glad container, then 1 quart of fully colonized Rye Berrie on top of that, then 1 more half inch of casing on the very top.

I did 5 of those and everyone of them has stalled 5 day's in the incubator, and there is hardly any thick Myc growth coming back after i broke it up to get it out of the jars.

Any Idea's on what might be wrong? I did have 1 coffee cup full of the same ingredient's and that is just about 100% colonized on the top casing layer. The only difference between the glad containers and the coffee cup is the containers are bigger, and the coffee cup is probably getting more air. I'm not sure if the Glad containers are air tight.

Thx =)

Try completely drenching the hell out of your casing - just pour sterile water on top of it and stab it in a couple places with a sterile fork. Submerge the casing and wait about 30 minutes, then go to the sink and pour off the excess (tilt it as close to 90 degrees as you can get it without risking your casing falling out...let it drain like this for about two minutes). This has worked every single time in my experience and I've noticed pins the very next day. It's typical in nature for mushrooms to grow in the same fashion...they generally sprout after a heavy rain.
Good luck and be sure to continually fan to exchange fresh air into your fruiting chamber.
