I'm Totally New
    #7859256 - 01/10/08 12:37 PM (16 years, 22 days ago)

OK, This is my second attempt at trying to post. I have no idea as to what to do. I have watched RR vids. I have never actually grown mushrooms. I am interested in growing gourmet mushrooms as well as the "others". What exactly is a laminar flow hood? Can I build one? So far I have made 5 BRF cakes in half pint mason jars. I steamed them for 90 minutes as described in the RR vids. I am awaiting spores from two different places. I ordered from sporestore and then after reading some bad reviews, I ordered from Hawk's Eye (BTW, Great Communication) and should be receiving my syringe in a day or two. When growing master cultures in quart jars, how important is it to use rye berries? Can I use other grains like pearl barley? Please correct me if I am wrong, but does mycellium grow in any grain so long as there are no preservatives? I have many more questions but do not want to jumble this post up more than it already is....


Update, The Hawks Eye Fuggin ROCKS. Mailman showed up today with my spores. Little did he know what I was doing with his little delivery. The Spore syringe had some fuzzy looking black stuff in it. I am thinking that the spores germinated and it was mycelium in the syringe. Anyways, I inoculated my BRF cakes that I hope I made correctly. It was RR's recipe and technique to sterilize the cakes. The jars are now sitting on my cable box which sits at 80 degrees 24/7. I should see something in what 3-5 days? I flame sterilized the needle in between jars, not between holes. I ended up using about 7 cc's between 5 jars. I wore rubber gloves and used purell on them in between innoculations. Have I done it right or what? Any feedback?

lol I just seen this in the journal. If you are new a flow hood can be a bitch much they are like 250$ and more and kinda hard to build. Id go with a still air box for now. Allot of people around here call them glove boxes.

You can use grains some have different levels of success but if you put the name of your grain you want to use in a search you will get lots of answers from people who have used it. Most people use rye barries wild bird seed finch seed and to less success corn and cracked corn.

Don't count on 3-5 days it takes longer sometimes. Just sit back and wait that what this is all about.

You seemed to do everything fine and clean I don't flame between holes in a jar cuz if one is contaminated they all are in that jar.

For some-one who has never grown mushrooms you are definately on the right track. Make a glove-box they are cheaper and keep studying.

You can use just about any grain, although rye, millet and WBS(wheat,milo,millet) are  the most common.

Most of them yes

About how long before I will be able to see visible colonies? I still have to order some petri dishes and agar stuff so I can do strain isoloations for slant cultures. I figure I have some time to get these things. I have seen some mason jar petri dishes already on this site. If I make a few of these, can I inoculate a petri dish with my syringe and use that to grow some of the mycellium? I'm probably getting way ahead of myself here!!!

Oh yeah, Do I keep the masking tape over the holes I drilled in the lids, or do I remove the tape for gas exchange?

It can take up to 2 weeks to see growth... Depending on the species as well. Nice job, sounds like you're on the right track.

You would be correct





wrong, what you are seeing is thousands and thousands of spores sticking together in a clump, this happens over time, the spores settle and stick to each other. Give the syringe a good shake bofore inoculation to help distrubute the spores in the water.

You are on the right track, asking good questions, infact rather unique questions. Its quite refreshing having a newbie come here and not ask the same boring old questions

Me wrong? I highly doubt that-He said "The Spore syringe had some fuzzy looking black stuff in it", "I am thinking that the spores germinated and it was mycelium in the syringe"
If you see a dark clump that is "FUZZY" looking, then yes your spores have germinated, if you just see a clump of dark things and no "FUZZY" stuff then, no your spores did not germinate.
Am I the only one that has had spores germinate in a syringe, no, it happens quite often in mushroom cultivation, hell the last spore syringe I got from a sponsor was germinated( Dark black looking clump that was "FUZZY").

But, doesn't that usually happen with liquid cultures?
What does the spore have to "eat" in distilled water?

BTW, if you want to keep them out in the open, you might want to wrap them in foil so they don't start pinning too early from getting too much light.

I have them sitting on top of my cable box which sits in a little doorless cabinet. Should they be in total darkness or what? I could wrap them in foil and leave the lid with the holes exposed for gas exchange? The temp is 70 degrees constant as we never turn the box off. What is the max temp for spores? Right now the jars are on a rack on the box because the heat was sitting at 80 degrees plus. Keep in mind that I have never done this before. I do think I noticed a breech in sterility protocol in the lets grow mushrooms video. About 12 minutes in, Jim sterilizes his hands, shakes up the spores, then grabs the stool he is sitting on and then lights the alcohol burner with a lighter. I count 3 places that contaminants could be. One is the stool, one is the lighter and the third is the lid of the burner. Am I wrong or what?

Liquid cultures,
I just read a 10ml to 200ml liquid culture recipe for use in a snapple bottle. Seeing as I have about 3 cc's of spore solution left, should I do a LC in case the 5 jars I made don't take, or should I wait a week or two before starting this? The LC colonizes faster doesn't it? Will the mycellium continue to grow in the LC giving me the ability to make more and more doing like a grain to grain culture but more like a LC to LC culture? I don't want to spend another 23$ on another spore syringe. A few of my first crop will go directly to spore prints, then into my tummy hehe. I need to read up a bit more on LC I guess. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be most appreciative. Would an organic corn syrup be better than Karo? So many questions!!!!!!

Hey, I'm new to the shroomery as well, and my fish just starting with her first grow (and happily seeing major progress) and just wanted to say hi because my fish is going through a lot of the same things and... those questions are the same ones she'd ask!

Do people reccommend doing liquid cultures over spore syringes? What are the advantages to them, aside from faster inoculation (possibly?)?

As for waiting for your mycelium to colonize, my fish just inoculated her first 5 jars on the 29th and didn't see growth until the 5th of January (also the B+ strain) but this was mostly because the first 3 days were at the room temperature here of 70degrees farhenheit and it was 3 days until she could move it into a built incubator at a nice 80, then growth exploded! currently about 50% - 60% colonized.

I normally make it a policy of mine not to speak to fish but I will make an exception in this case.... Lc is a billion times better than spore syringes in my opinion,its not just for faster inoculation,its a great way to make your spores last forever,I haven't made or bought a spore syringe in over a yr and have enough to last forever providing it remains viable till I can get to use it(I just tested a few bottles of it and more than half of them showed growth within days of shooting them into more lc solution):rockon:I cant wait to test out my awesome Texas clone(I cant grow at the moment):thumbdown:

Cool, could you possibly link the LC tek you use? She'd like to try it to make a good stock of viable mycelium to grow in the future, even though she has another syringe of Hawaiian Strain waiting in my fridge.(Waiting to see if this first one is successful!)

Okee Dokee, got my snapple bottle in the boiler now. I don't have a PC yet, so I have to do a 90 minute boil I guess. Hopefully it works. It was hard to find a pan that fit the snapple bottle, I'll try to find a smaller glass bottle tommorow at work. I'm hoping that I will be able to do a LC to LC culture to keep the strain alive forever. Hopefully RR or Roadkill will read this and tell me if I am doing this right or not. Anyways, gotta give the dog a bath, Later!! Wish me luck!!!

I was nervous and touched things that I normally wouldn't have touched during the inoculation process.

I should have wiped my gloves down with Isopropyl Alcohol after I touched the stool, the lighter and the burner.

none of the jars made in the video contaminated...
though. :tongue:

don't ask me...

I'm the one that messed up during shooting RR's video!~




:smirk:

your good!~

I was nervous and touched things that I normally wouldn't have touched during the inoculation process.

I should have wiped my gloves down with Isopropyl Alcohol after I touched the stool, the lighter and the burner.

none of the jars made in the video contaminated...
though. :tongue:

Whoa, I wasn't trying to get anyone's goat or anything, just wondering if what I saw was what I saw. What about the LC to LC culture, will it work or what? I would love your input Roadkill. I don't have the means as of yet to be doing grain cultures, slant cultures or strain isolation as of yet. All of which are in the works, heck I have a MJ grow 4 years in the planning. I do know that the devil is in the details. Nobody has answered the question yet as to the LC to LC.

Good news, I see growth. 3 and a half days from inoculation and I come home from work and blammo white moldy lookin stuff on most of my injection sites. I am friggin happier than a.....(couldn't think of anything). Thanks All for your input and I'll keep updating this thread, kinda like a journal. I do still have one unanswered question, Can I keep a lc to lc master going or what? I am thinking that my answer is yes so long as I am careful not to contaminate it. My plan is to have 2 or more snapple bottle lc teks going. I never want to pay for spores again, well at least for the B+ strain.

I will probably try some LC too, but you don't need to pay for spores ever again once you have some mushrooms growing. From a mushroom, you can make a spore print that will keep for at least a year. It's worked for me, anyway.

Ok, so I figured out why nobody was answering my LC to LC question. I just got done reading the CREAMCORN TEK and it is super simple. Props to the cornman. Just do a search of LC tek and look for creamcorn's. It is real easy to do and allows for a biopsy of an actual fruited mushroom instead of using a spore print. This also seems like a great way to do a strain isolation. My cakes are about 25% colonized. Once I birth them and fruit them I will be doing the biopsy tek to et a master LC. This hobby is almost as addictive as growing pot. I need a mass of equipment. I am gonna need a decent microscope, petri dishes, agar solutions and such. I would hihly recommend anyone etting involved with this to purchase the whole dvd set that RR puts out. I wish he would have at least touched on LC though. hint, hint !!!

OK... That god damn sporestore, Never use anyone but a shroomery vendor. I ordered before joining the shroomery, so I had no idea. I was enticed by the low prices I guess. I placed the order on 12/31/07 and wow, they shipped yesterday 1/22/08. Speedy Service. My spores from Hawks Eye have already colonized about 97% in the BRF Cakes. Enough of that Rant. I do Have good news, I will be upgrading my lab with a brand new Mirro Matic 16 Qt PC. Its not an All American but at 16 bucks plus shipping, who can bitch? I think I'll be able to PC 7 quart jars at once. My plan is to do a WBS Grain spawn and probably a straw log tek. Few questions though, Once the Straw log is 100% colonized, can I do a dunk? Possibly in a large tote or something? Will that induce fruiting? I'll be hitting up the local mega chain harddware store soon for some totes, I need a FC and want to make an incubator. I have heard pro's and the "doesn't really matter" arguments. I might hold off on the incubator for awhile. I do need a FC like within a week. I'll probably pick up some perlite while I am there also. Let me know if there is anything more I need to do ASAP?

A little update, my jars are 100% colonized now. I am going to wait a few days before birthing them though. It is really hard to wait. I have made my FC and have 16 quarts of perlite to throw in the bottom of the FC after being soaked. I bought two bags of Miracle Grow perlite that says it has some ferts mixed into the perlite. Will this be a problem? RR or Roadkill, any suggestions? Oh yeah, I got a PC on the way. Bought it from a police auction. 16 bucks plus shipping. It is a mirro matic 16 qt jobby. Not all american, but any pc is better than none.

OK, got a little impatient on the whole waiting to birth them. Dunk da dunk dunk dunk. They are dunked in the fridge right now. Smelled like shrooms though. Now I can start my next batch. This Time I'll be using LC stuff instead of spores. TTYL

Wow, that is all I can say is wow!!! I have been reading up here on LC a lot and did one with about 1 cc of spore solution left over from my first batch. I still have 1 cc left in the syringe, but I might not ever need it. I did the karo syrup snapple bottle tek first go around and it worked, well ok. I went to my local walgreens and found syringes with a 21 gauge needle for 25 cents. So I sucked up about 10 cc's of LC making sure to get some of the clumps of stuff floating. After noc'ing up 6 jars, I had about 3.5 cc's left. Anyways, I decided to try a light dried malt extract LC. The Karo and the potato dextrose are kinda slow. I also have about 15 lb's of Light DME left over from a batch of Alaskan Amber that I brewed. So I weighed it out and made a 2% solution by weight, pc'd it and let her cool down. Right before I went to bed about 9 last night, I noticed that the snapple bottle was still a little warm but not hot by any means, so I shot her up with the remaining 3.5 cc's. Here we go, LC to LC with like 10 hours of time in the bottle.





I am pretty impressed, all those clumps are myc
