need some advice on a decision
    #5959007 - 08/13/06 12:19 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I was making a straw ball and kind of screwed it up. I have about an inch thick of straw with a small amount of mycelium inside it, here and there, but a very small amount. The rest is on the top and bottom of the bag. It's been incubating for a day. I'm think about taking piles out and sort of do shroom gods layer Tek, I'll just take another cake and add it on some layers of already cakey straw. But I don't want to stunt it's growth- from what I hear it doesn't have much more than a week before it has to be fully colonized or I'm screwed.

So- add another cake, layer it in a casing, or leave as is and hope for the best. Has anyone here had that much straw without too much mycelium (2 cakes worth, for like 8 cups worth of straw) and still had it colonize in time?

Tough decision. I don't want to increase risk of contamination either, even though I'd be transferring pretty sterily. I already let a cake sit on an unsterilized counter before it went into the zip lock bag, so if that didn't contaminate I doubt I have many more chances.  Just hoping pasteruized straw is good and resistant  :muslimprayer:

I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.
