Growing Mushrooms....On a Rice Crispy Treat.
    #5782400 - 06/22/06 11:21 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

So there I was. Just bought a king sized rice crispy treat and before i had consumed it all i thought... what if I inoculated a rice crispy. Could it work?

PC it and bam no contams. Jar it, pc it, But get moisture rite first, why the hell wouldn't it grow? Mycelium likes glucose?

well, lets seeee...

rice crispy treats... white sugar + white rice

the white sugar just begs to get contamd... and the fact that it's made with white rice just means in some other world if the myc actually colonized the rice and made mushrooms, the mushrooms would be so weak, they wouldn't get a housefly high.

do a search for someones white rice tek... there's just shit for nutrients when it comes to white rice... all the nutes are in the husk. (that's why brown rice flour works).

anyways, you don't have to take my word for it, i'm just a noob


and if mycellium loved white sugar, why wouldn't we just use that in our LCs? anyways, i'm sure everyone will own me now, start the flaming!

+1 apparently white rice is missing something psilocybe needs to produce psilocybin. It grows on it but at least one guy on here has tried the resulting shrooms and found they did virtually nothing.

You could try a piece of a brown bread maybe.

White sugar doesn't necessarily mean you'll get contaminations, all LCs are basically just sugar in water.

I'm making up a freaking huge 4.8l container of LC right now (waiting for it to cool down). I'm just going to squirt the spores I have left over from inoculation into it and see what happens. If I get a good amount of mycelium floating around in it I'm going on an inoculation quest to see just how many random bits of junk I can get the mycelium growing on.

I got to agree with you on that, white rice has a lack of nutrients for the shrooms. The bran is where 90% of the nutrients of rice is found, but the bran is removed to make white rice. Thats why people use rye because its a WHOLE grain, white rice isn't.

The Rice-Cake Technique

by Dr. Steven H. Pollock, M.D. (RIP)




This technique is extremely easy and highly recommended for its convenience in growing Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. All that is needed is a pressure cooker, some canning jars, uncontaminated live mushroom starter (mycelia), and brown rice. Either long grain or short grain brown rice may be used. The former is usually more economical. Do not use white rice. It is inferior in quality to brown rice because most of the vitamins have been lost in converting brown to white rice.

Into each quart jar place 1/4 cup brown rice and between 1/3 to 1/2 cup tap water. One-half cup or more of water is too much because the rice will turn to mush rather than a cake. One-third cup water leads to a dry cake that is adequate, but mycelia grow much faster on the wetter cakes resulting from the use of more than 1/3 cup of water. Up to 1/8 teaspoon of agricultural gypsum (calcium sulfate) may be added to each jar prior to sterilization to serve as a buffer, but gypsum is not really necessary. Some cubensis strains seem to prefer it, but so do many contaminants. It seems more practical not to bother using gypsum except except for purposes of experimentation to find out if a particular mushroom strain will fruit more aggressively with it. In most cases it probably will not make any difference.

Invert the dome of each two-piece lid and place it on the mouth of the canning jar with the rubber seal facing upward. Then loosely screw on the lid bands. Presssure cook the jars at 15 lbs. pressure for an hour. Actually 45 minutes at 15 lbs. pressure is adequate, but an hour gives an even greater likelihood of complete sterilzation. Allow the pressure cooker to cool and remove the jars, screwing the bands tighter until ready to inoculate the rice-cakes with mushroom mycelia. Using a flame-sterilized probe, carefully transfer a piece of agar medium containing live uncontaminated mycelia into each jar. It is best to loosen the jar lid before-hand so that it will lift off easily. To make the transfer, cut out a section of agar medium containing mycelia using a flame-sterilized scalpel or probe. Then spear the agar block of mushroom starter with the probe, lift up the lid of the jar, and drop in the piece of mushroom starter. Close the lid but do not screw it too tight since it is necessary for growing mycelia to breathe. To enhance the rate of mycelia growth, very soon after the jar is inoculated the lid can be screwed tight and the jar shaken to bring the piece of mushroom starter into contact with more of the rice-cake surface. Then loosen the lid before setting the jar in place to incubate. In about four weeks mushrooms will start to grow. Sometimes they commence after only three weeks, but they may frequently take up to six weeks to appear. This depends a lot on the strain and room temperature.

The mycelia can be grown in the dark but light is needed when it is time for the fungus to make mushrooms. As little as five minutes twice a day from an overhead incandescent light in a closet can be sufficient to initiate mushroom formation. But much better crops seem to come when fluorescent "grow lights" are used for longer periods during the day. When mushrooms are growing, the lid of eacj jar should be very loose since much condensation occurs as the mushrooms breathe.

Some growers remove the lids completely at this time or replace the domes with a double layer of paper towels. The towels can be secured in place with the lid bands and the jars may be set near a window for natural light. Paper towel tops should be sprayed with water at least once a day to help maintain a humid enviroment. As the rice-cake dries, fruition is promoted. But if the dome is left very loosely in place, fruiting continues much longer. Sometimes fruiting occurs for three months or more! Mushrooms will keep appearing after harvest- ing of previous crops.

To harvest the magic mushrooms, a fancier can reach in throught the mouth of the jar and pull them out. It is best to grasp each mushroom near the bottom of the stem and to give it a twist. If the mushroom cap is tugged, it might just break off from the stem. Alternatively, a long knife may be used to cut the mushrooms at the bottom of the stem. Still another method is to the jar facing down so that the cake will fall near the orifice. This makes it easier to grasp the mushrooms. Sometimes it is advantageous after a second of third harvest to flip the cake over in the jar before putting the lid back on. This maneuver often promotes a luxuriant fruiting from the newly exposed rice-cake surface.

When the cakes have dried out too much for mushrooms to appear, they can be squited with water froma spray bottle to induce another fruiting or better yet used as spawn for a mushroom garden on compost. If there is absolutely no sign of contamination, the cakes themselves may be fried or broken up and cooked in mushroom soup or other cuisine for a psychedelic experience. One cake is usually sufficient for two to four enthusiasts.

The rice-cake technique is very efficient. A 14 ounce package of brown rice can be obtained often for less than fifty cents and is enough for seven quart jars. When the cakes have completely become covered by mycelia, small pieces can be cut out with a sterilized scalpel or probe and transferred to newley prepared rice-cakes in other jars. This will not interfere significantly with mushrrom production and will insure a continuing supply of magic San Isidro mushrooms.

I don't know. Too many preservatives, too high of a concentration of sugar. Add water to it and it will get all screwed up I would think.
