Made my first caseing last night
    #5838801 - 07/09/06 01:07 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I took 2 of my almost colinized PF EC cakes and brumbled em. Added spome peroxide/water to "DUNK". di this till it looked wet. Let it absorb. Did once more. It absorbed all the water :smile:.

I then made a mix of 50.50 Peat moss pettels (the ones for starting planmts) and Verm.

I put the peice in a tuperware, around 1 - 1/2 inch thick layer. Then i put about a 1/4 or maybe more like half inch layer of casein on top covered in foil its now incubateing, but my prelim check this morn looks as tho the mycelium is renitting in the BRF/Ver spawn.

Thats good right? Once it heals it will move through the caseing then i fruit it???

Lemme know what you think

haha, is the seeding pellets the only peat moss you could find? i guess it's ok, since jiffy mix has hydrated lime in it.. but straight up peat moss is way cheaper... anyways, good luck, sounds like everything is going fine for you

1) ALMOST isnt good enough, needs to be 100%
your looking at a 98% chance of contams, sorry


2) i have never read anyone even attempting peat pellets. was the peat pellets crushed before use? if not, it may or may not work, and would have been better off doing a straight verm, as the myc will have to go OVER the pellets, not through the peat ( if you used standard peat, not the ones for starting plants ) . you want the casing layer to be light and airy.



3) i think you have done a some reading, but you need to do a little more, the using cakes that arent fully colonized shows this.. there is 10's of thousands of posts that have stated dont fruit till fully colonized

two questions did you steralize or pasteurise your casing mix?
and you said " my prelim check this morn looks as tho the mycelium is renitting in the BRF/Ver spawn."

how did you tell? just wondering

Oooh i soaked about 6 pellets of peat into a quart of water, Steamed if for a good while, then i added the vermculite to absorb the water..

After this was done i went handful by handfull and squezed it to field compasity.. Its nice and airy.. and i mostened it till it clissened on the top..

(OOOOH yeah i took the lil net off the pellets before i soaked em. :smile:)

No verm layer on the bottom either,heard bad things about that.

I really hope it works.. Any other imput?

next time if you have a cake that isn't fully colonizing, cut off the uncolonized part... didnt see the "almost fully colonized" part...

yeah, and only do that on stalled jars... i don't think the failure rate is 98%, but you'll definately be at the mercy of mold.

Ooohe yeah i chunked the uncolinized gram or so of BRF+Verm off with a steralized knife!!!

So this look like it may work?? Whats the consensus???


BTW, in my situation, i don't mind if it contams!! I'm moveing sho, and setting up a actuall "LAB" so as to do strain isolation, and agar, w bulk teks, plus around 30 jars!!. This new place is goin to rock. And since i'm pressed for time i don't mind to lose all my cakes. I've got 12 growing shroomz now. I'd hate to have to move my whole grow operation running ya know??

Thanks for the imput bro. I need all the knowledge i can get....

I'll post pics of it tonight.. A lil light won't hurt. after that i'm goin to tape a black trash bag around the bottom so i don't get side pinning

Ohh yeah i steralized the caseing mix in a quartjar and steamed for 30 minutes then i did a bunch of rounds of microwaveing...

Also i can see from lookin the bottom its forming new hyphae to connect the peices. I want it to becaome a solid mass again right? Then once it starts to poke out of the casein its time to patch.fruit???

For all you that doubted me...

The ,mycelium underneath the casing is MAD white and spreading up through the casing layer.. I kinda took some casing off the top, i think it was packed to tight.. i also use foil + black tape to black the mycelium from light.. 2 or 3 days and it'll be ready for the FC
