after three weeks, nothing germinated...
    #7855748 - 01/09/08 07:49 PM (17 years, 11 days ago)

as the title says. i inoculated from a spore print and waited three weeks. nothing grew. nothing at all. no mycelium, no contams. nada.

so, opened a jar and fished around inside. still moist and nothing growing in the middle. i just don't get it.

what really puzzles me is that no contams grew in any of my jars after three weeks. i've done this twice before and always lost at least a couple of jars. of course, this is the first time i've had a pressure cooker. could it really make that much difference? any ideas on why nothing grew?

theyre not incubating in a cold room are they?

Unviable spores most likely.

jars cooled overnight. jars are at approximately 76F.

i agree about the spores. what really intrigues me is that NOTHING grew. after three weeks, i expected there to be contaminates.

bad spores or bad substrate ratio would be my guess..
