would this be sure to contaminate my grow?
    #5961710 - 08/14/06 03:16 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

1st casing- cakes put on unsterilized surface before put in bag to crumble. not unclean, but unsterilized surface, before mixed in with straw. the outside of the zip bag containing the the crumbled cake was unsterilized, and touched some of the inside of the bigger bag that had straw in it for a second. than 1 day later i transfered it to a sterilized casing contained, where it was left in open air for about 45 seconds.

anyone have any luck doing little unsterile things but still make it?

2nd casing- done without a single error

3rd casing (actually a straw ball)- straw pillowcase had been sitting for more than 24 hours now, and when transferring the straw into a zip bag to make a straw ball i forgot to wash hands. i had just take a shower, but then took a nap, woke up, and then did it.

so please share your success stories and experiences, i'm very worried number 1 and 3 are not going to make it.

Okay, thanks, that eases my worries. I checked on them today and it didn't look like anything colonized, but then again its only been a day now so I guess the myc needs a few hours before its starts colonizing again.

Whats the longest you guys have had straw last for? I can't see this colonizing in a mere 7 days, but i'm guessing that once it starts it rips right through the straw the way it does a casing layer.

Wish me luck, I'm a straw virgin!

Straw is usually colonized within a week to ten days. However, you said above it's a 'casing'. Straw is a bulk substrate, and you shouldn't apply a casing until it's fully colonized, if ever. Straw fruits fine uncased.

You also don't sterilize straw, as it's a bulk substrate. You only want to pasteurize it. Sterile procedures are for spawn, such as uncolonized grains/brf. Once the spawn is fully colonized, you need to be clean, but not sterile.

So Roger in your experience would it be worth it to put a casing on a straw substrate or would you just fruit the mushrooms from the straw would straw have enough moisture by itself? because I have been thinking of trying straw

Yeah I don't know, I just called it that because its going to be a casing. As for now, it's brf/verm spawned to straw, with a very slightly unsterile procedure to spawn them in there cases.

So, since I did pasteurize the straw, do you think that a little unsterile procedure, like putting the cake down on a non-alcohol wiped dresser for a couple of seconds, before spawning, would not do me in?
