innoculating casings
    #962976 -

hihi,
I was wondering if anyone here has ever skipped the pk tek jars, and just innoculated their casings and had success?
if not do you guys think it'd be possible? and would using more spore juice (i'm using spore syringes) help my chances of it working?

thanks for any input

casings should have little or no nutritive value so the mycellium should have nothing to eat and therefore shouldn't grow or at least should grow so slowly that contams will beat it. or so i'd guess.

Cakes or bulk subs , gotta make a choice . The mycelium needs a food source , so...... "NO"...... spores in just casing material probablly will not do much .
Got to the FAQS read all you can , make a choice , follow directions of choice , master method , then experiment .
Good Luck

You'll grow green instead of shrooms. The mycelium needs a somewhat sterile environment to colonise (in cultivation, the jars; in nature, the inside of the cow turd, which is why in nature there are many more turds without shrooms, than turds with, cause its less sterile than the inside of a jar that has been pressure cooked. ) If you did this to maybe 100 casings, you may have a couple succeed. Just do the damn jars.

sorry, lemme try to re-explain it

go fuck your- no, i'm kidding =)

what i meant was, if i had a bottom sterilized layer of vermiculite, then a layer of sterilized brown rice flour/vermiculite, and THEN innoculated it, and if it worked i'd then add the casing mix.

sorry, i should've explained it better, my apologies

You'd still need to have them in the jars, this allows the environment to stay somewhat clean, clean enough for the mycelium to colonise the substrate before some unwanted contam does.

you will sterilize the substrate (brown rice/verm) in a container. once it leaves the container it will no longer be sterile = contamination. by the time (if) mycellium even starts to show you will have a pile of green crap. the idea is to sterilize, keep it sterile and allow mycellium to grow with no other organisms in competition. to keep the substrate sterile you must leave it in a sterile container = a jar. if THAT works, case it.

First off .....that fuck yourself attitude will get you nowhere !
Make a choice BULK SUBS OR CAKES READ READ READ READ !
But yes many people case "old" cakes , but they use it to innoculate a bulk substrate . They also use them to start outdoor patches , look up MOES OUTDOOR TEK .
Try this
Sterilize some grain innoculate with culture grown on agar let fully colonize .
Then sterilize some sort of bulk substrate (worm castings , horse crap ,........) , then innoculate it with jars of grain , wait to fully colonized , then case with 50/50 mix .
I left out many details .........so READ READ READ READ READ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn negro, i was only kidding about the go fuck yourself thing

I had a similar question.
What about doing a bulk substrate and using a combniation of Hydrogen Peroxide and microwaving to 'sterilize' the PFjars?
Mix up your substrate, spray with H2O2 solution, put tray and lid in microwave and run it on high for 10minutes. Innocluate the medium, and case the resulting mycellia.
Or PF jars with microwaveable lids. Either spray filled jars with H2O2, or incorporate itin the jar mixture. Add coffee filters/filter disks and microwave.

Tripindicular?? you seem confused.
Your only optons are deffinatelly not cakes or bulk substrates.
Your opions are, brf/verm cakes, grain subtrates for casings.
or dung/ straw substrates.

There is something similar what you describe, I tried it several times though and failed.

I once tried something like what you're asking.. Back in the day when I was trying to use my creativity to revelutionize cultivating so I wouldn't need to expend the effort needed to make some cakes.. So anyhow, I took a tupperwear container with lid, put some BRF and vermiculite in it, with some water of course.. Sterlized it for a good hour (on and off) in the microwave and innoculated using an entire spore syringe.  Well...

End result I culitvated green goodness, and wasted a spore syringe.  Stick to the jars.  Once you get one batch done you can make it last a long time.  No worries.  Patience my man :smile:

I'm only as confused as I allow myself to be , but for simplicity and assumption sake , I felt this person needed to make a choice and follow through with one method , then experiment . It also appears they need to read some more . :cool: 
And "basically " there are two choices ...........cakes...........or bulk subs , how you innoculate them has options , what you use as a food source has options (i.e. grain , brf , agar ) You could even make cakes , crumble them up and put into a bulk substrate , anything bigger than my hand is bulk to me .
