burned my cakes?
    #7212744 - 07/23/07 01:29 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I just put 3 cakes in the pressure cooker and let them go for an hour.... When I took them out, I realized the water had all evaporated and the bottoms of the cakes are dark brown. Should I still inoculate these or what? Will burning the vermiculite and brown rice flour effect mushroom growth? Help!

i did the same thing when i first started and i just inoculated and they grew very well, but i have seen others do the same and not come out as good as mine, so it is up to you if you want to use the spores on something that may not work?

Make sure the cakes are right before you inoculate. I suggest tossing those and starting over. Use a shelf to set the jars on during sterilization, and reduce the stove setting when pressure is reached to avoid the kettle running dry.

Thanks! I think I'll just toss those and make new ones because it was only 3 of them... I didn't put the jars on top of anything because I didn't last time and it worked just fine. I will place something underneath this time though, for sure. Thanks everyone.
