75% colonization in five days...
    #7190304 - 07/17/07 09:49 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

So, five days ago (July 12th) I started a new batch (8 total) of 1/2 pint BRF cakes. I followed RR's and Roadkill's tek to the "T" as always...

I inoculated my jars with a nice thick Golden Teacher LC I had started the previous week. Today, I opened up my incubator, expecting to see the first signs of growth, and was shocked to see that every jar is between 75 and 90% colonized. Three of the jars are lacking a nickel sized area to be fully colonized. My first thought was contamination, but it looks like good healthy, very rizomorphic mycelium.

I used about 2.5 cc of the LC for each jar, and they are incubating at a steady 78 degrees.

Is this really possible? I have never seen growth at this rate. Usually at this point there are nice patches around the inoculation points, but not almost full colonization.

Sorry, no pictures. I don't have a good enough camera that would show you anything that would help.

Reality is just a way of looking at things that you were taught before you were old enough to know any better! -me

For me the world is weird because it is stupendous,awesome,mysterious,unfathomable;my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world,in this marvelous desert,in this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while;in fact,too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Sounds great. Remember to let the jars sit for a few days after you think they are 100% to let the inside core of the cake colonize.

Liquid Cultures go WAY faster than multispore syringes.
