Well, keeping in mind that I am a medical student and so have a very good understanding if sterile techniques :P and after a lot of thought, I decided to test the actual necessity of total sterility of the processes involving shroom cultivation as I am convinced that the rubber gloves + mask+ hairnet+ hepafilter+ bacterial soap + lysol+ gamma rays+ ingravity that some people seem to say are necessary to grow shrooms without contaminations is beeing a bit too enthusiastic. I'm pretty sure that a clean house (as clean as your mum would like it to be, not clean as in "no days old pizza visible, but maybe some under the sofa" , well cleaned hands and nails, clean utensils and something to cover your hair should be enough for most procedures involving shrooms. The rest is overkill. It's like getting rid of the weeds in your garden with a chansaw.




I used to feel this way. Thinking that the majority of sterile techniques where seemingly overkill. Until I started getting contamination....and kept getting it. Then I got pickier and pickier. You will learn what works and what doesn't... Like for example I don't even touch Lysol anymore. Just70% isopropanol alcohol to sterilize surfaces.

A still air glove box makes a world of difference for making clean prints and syringes and is pretty much a nessesity if you do G2G.

Hey man, I have to say why do you have the saran wrap covering those casings? You should take that off when you fruit them... Your keeping too much c02 under it, thats why you only got like 4 pins.

Exactly. I had them covered in saran wrap in a dark closet hoping that they wouldn't fruit until I had time to case them but fruit they did.

Now i'm drying the big ones in front of a hot air fan. My only problem is that I don't have a big enough container to put them in with the silica gel to dry them fully so I'll have to break them.

I have also printed one of them and it's going along fine.

Using a glovebox like this seems to have solved my contamination problems in anything that requires it (innoculations, printing, agar work, etc.) My house can be fucking trashed like it is all the time and i still have an island of sterility to work with for the tricky steps.

I havent had too many problems with contams in Spawning except for trying to go too deep or just not using enough spawn.

nice looking shrooms man. keep it up :thumbup:  :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :smirk: :crazy2: :eek:
