Rye grain not growing mycellium
#6764518 - 04/09/07 09:43 AM (17 years, 9 months ago) |

Alright so it's been about 4 or 5 days... and I havent got any growth yet... I have 10 quart jars filled with rye grain that I had cooked until a few kernals had popped... Then pressure cooked...
Each jar does have the polyfil fiber for filters... I injected 1cc into each jar... but did not shake... I HAVE NOT shaken up to this point... So now it has been several days... and no growth that I can tell...
Just curious what possibly could be preventing any growth.. and if there is anyway to get it started? How long does it usually take for a jar to begin growth... These are the spores from shroomery.org... so they arent exactly the most filled syringes compared to home mades...
Any comments are appreciated

5 days is still fairly early. If growth has started, it may be in the center of of the jars and not yet visible.
The rye I'm growing on took over a month to show visual evidence of growth; granted it was very cold in my house at the time (I seem to only be able to grow in Spring/Summer periods).

Do you see water in your jars? Your grain should look DRY...
There are a million reasons why nothing is happening but moisture content is usually the main issue...

If your grain is not too dry and if your temperature is not too low, you will see growth in 2-3 days.

Shaking the jars upon inoculation is still in debate... I did not..
The grain does look dry.. but still looks cooked and bigger just not glistening...
I have them incubated at 85 degrees
I mean... the only thing that should keep them from growing all together would be cold tempatures and no air exchange right? so as long as I have those atleast fairly decent levels... then with the right amount of time.. the mycelium should grow.. correct?
Can anyone else think of anything that might explain the lack of growth...

I shook the piss out of my WBS jars. They were pretty much fully colonized in about 1 week.

You do not need air exchange during incubation. In fact you need high CO2 levels and just a little gas exchange. If the grain is very dry you will not see growth. But it is very early to tell.

Yes - impatience. That's the main reason

first of all u need to turn the temp in ur incubator down to 80-81. the growing myc will produce its own heat and the temp inside the jars will be ~4 degrees higher, so get those temps down.
my rye jars usually take 1 week to start showing me some myc, sometimes up to 2 weeks. my advice to u would be to put them up and make urself wait at least a week before u look at them again. constantly looking at the jars and exposing them to the light may reuslt in invitro pinning before the myc has finished colonizing the rye. also giving it time to grow between peeks will give you pleasant suprises.

So you think it would take longer if using a syringe bought online? Thats the only reason I can think of .... its been a week and no growth... and some people on here have growth in like 2 - 3 days...
But its wierd because I had growth in my PF jars in like 2 or 3 days...

I gotta agree with farva on this,get those temps around 80 degrees and be patient,sometimes it takes me that long to see growth even when using a nice thick lc,with multispore expect it to take even longer

Be patient, and lower the temp a bit. The jars will start producing their own heat. At 85 it will start getting pretty warm, almost 90.
Get the temp down to 78-80 and you'll be golden.

Yeah... I now have the actual incubation chamber at 80 - 81.... but still nothing...
I guess Ill wait another week...

So I decided to go into my incubation chamber and shake one up...
and TADA!!! one of them was about 10 - 15 percent mycellium
I decided to shake all them up in hopes of finding more... but out of 12 jars... only found one with any mycellium...
any opinions or suggestions?

my opinion,
you posted this on the 9th that was day 4-5, it's now the 13th (day 8-9) .... chill out, you are freaking out about nothing, i've waited well over 2 weeks for multispore rye grain jars to show growth with and without shaking.... if you got spores from a sponsor, rest assured they are most likely not the problem, if you rye isn't too wet and was prepared properly your jars will more than likely grow, this does not mean that it will happen inside of 10 days (while yes some ppl have fully colonized jars in 9 days that doesn't mean you will).. listen to the advice given here, come back in a week and look then, you'll be much happier, you're likely doing more damage than anything by constantly disturbing your jars....
if they still aren't growing you may well have made a mistake, but rye is cheap and the jars don't have any obvious contamination and could easily be cleaned and reused IMO, so it's nothing to get down about, we have all had our failures, it's part of the human condition so the best we can do is get on with it. Order some spores from a sponsor and make sure to follow the preperation method exactly and this time leave them alone for a week before you even look after inoculation....

I planted some sunflowers over 2 weeks ago, some had germinated within 2 days, some just started to pop through the very same soil this morning. Nature has it's quirks and to some extent there is nothing you can do about it 
This is why science exists, if we understood everything there'd be no need for it. Mycology is science, science takes time, practice patience....

Im curious if the growth is so slow due to lack of FAE...
Im using the fiber not the tyvek envelopes... for my filter... my hole is 1/2 in diameter.. and the inoculation hole is just big enough for a syringe and it is taped up...
you think it is going so slow due to lack of FAE... or maybe the rye grain is to dry? I opened one of my jars that had some mold starting to grow and squeezed some of the grain with my fingers... They were pretty squishy and after squeezing them hard .. my fingers were kinda sticky...
No water dropped from the actual grain though..
Only two jars out of ten began to grow mycellium but have stopped growing it seems.
any opinions?

you want zero FAE during colonizing, you just want room for GAS exchange.

ok I have a typical quart jar with a metal lid
half inch hole with the polyfill fiber and another 1/8 inch hole taped up ... does that not provide enough GAS exchange??
why is there nothing growing?
