spawning ?
    #5711331 - 06/04/06 01:52 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

hey so i just spawned a half gallon jar from www.mushbox.com to some straw from the same source. i past like instructed but i am finding it hard to leave no peices of straw sticking up there are a few that will not stay down. this should be fine right cause it will get pressed down when i case and colonize then correct?

Yeah, I usually compress my substrate down a bit to level it out before casing. I've found my pinset isn't as great if I don't.

Yes I hear that when working with straw you can compress the substrate.

Not with others, but yes you can with straw.

no my ? was will the peices i cant get to stay compressed going to rot or cause any problems from not colonizing. my theory is it'll be cool cause the casing will hold down any peices that wanna stand up. make more sense? sorry

Any exposed uncolonized substrate is a contam risk. I just trim off the pieces of straw that stick up. Problem solved.

Put a screen or something else that will allow air to pass and you can put a few pounds of weight on it to keep it compressed while it colonizes. Remove the weight at full colonization.
