All things shrooms

[MiGrampa]

Yeah just dont mix them together… mycelium are territorial and even the same stain of spores will compete

I was thinking 5 bags of innoculated rice in one tub and then 5 bags from a different strain syringe in a different tub. Would this be considered mixing since the ones in each monotub came from the same syringe?

 

[MiGrampa]

My spores were delivered Thursday.

I'll get them today or tomorrow, however I have to get a few materials before I can start my inoc.

I should have everything I need in a few days. I think next weekend might be the prime time to start with inoculating the brown rice bags. I'd rather take my time and nail each step as far as sterile technique than to rush through it and have contamination.

Plan to sterilize this area for my inoc

Nope thats good

 

[Zen_seeker]

What happens if I just grow this shit? And not sterile with it?

What if I just take a substrate, inoculate it and go?


Edit: so definitely won't be propagating w/o decontamination lol

What did you find out?

 

[Observer]

What did you find out?

well, the inoculation process needs to be completely sterile lol, but after that youre good to mix it with youre substrate.

ive not done anything yet but once i get a few more things ill start the process and once colonized ill mix my spawn with coco/verm

Yeah the initial inoculation and spawn colonization is the huge risk part

Nice post dude! I can handle a poor mans starter kit like this. Unless someone has come up with a better one in the next 11 pages.

 

[Zen_seeker]

yea im studying up on it more. i got a syringe inbound!

I want updates!!!

 

[Observer]

Definitely.

I'll be keeping this updated as I start

 

[Observer]

Need to get some rice bags and pore tape

 

[Observer]

Fuckin awesome

[Aqua Man]

Yup

 

[Observer]

Yup

Those tubs were packed too

 

[Kopper1013]

So the “spawn” in the clear bag, is that what you’re creating with the uncles bens rice or through the PF tek method?

Yea exactly

 

[Kopper1013]

So that’s why he isn’t being clean at all (or dosent appear to be)?
So you mix your spawn 1:1 or 1:2 with coco and “let it go”
Can you do the PF tek method then crumble up/break up the pucks and mix with the coco?
Trying to figure out what method I’d like to attempt as I have all the stuff to sterilize (pressure cooker and what not but not the hepa stuff….

You inly need the pressure cooker for the spawn… for the coco i just boil water and add it to the coco in the pail… cause i ise the bricks. Put the lid over it and let it cool then use it

 

[Kopper1013]

So can I do the brown rice flower and vermiculite in the mason jars method, get my mycelium going, once that’s all white and looking good, break it up and mix with the coco or souls I just stick with the PF tek method if that’s how I start?

Never done it but sounds like its a viable method

I picked up the coco coir (40L hydrated) for the casing mix. How much boiling water per brick if each brick expands to 10L? I also have vermiculite. What is the ratio for coco to vermiculite, 1 to 1?

Yeah 1/1 ratio… ill have to look up the water but you basically want to see a drip or 2 when you squeeze it hard in your hand… that is field capacity

Pictures taken during my walks and hikes.
My neighborhood is shroom central for Psilocybes in the fall and winter, all those pics were within a 2 minute walk of my house.

are those brown rice bags precooked?

I think partially… o different than us soaking our grains then putting em in the pressure cooker

yea thats what he'll have to do if those arent precooked and moist like the 90 second uncle bens ready bags.

Precooked, ready to eat ... It's just Walmart brand at a dollar less a bag than Uncle Ben's

sounds good.

next time i get around to the store ill pick up a few of both kinds and try

just need my sterile food bags and pore tape.

 

[MiGrampa]

I have the mico-pore tape. It was delivered a bit ago. I have my 4' seedling mat out warming up the rice right now. The controller is set at 79F. We're ready to do this at any time.

Awesome in excited to see how well this works out for ya

We might inoculate the bags tonight. We'll see. I did a pre-spray with 70% alcohol and I have a hepa air purifier with UVC sanitation I thought I would use to keep the air constantly filtered and as free as possible from airborne contaminants.

I'll be doing this in my 4 x 8 grow tent. I won't have plants in it again until fall.

sounds good to me man. Sterilize the needle before each inoculation with a flame. If you need more info on that just let me know

I have a butane torch. I think because of everything else we have going on right now, we won't be doing the inoculation tonight after all. I expect it to take up to a couple of hours.

About 20 min tops. Wipe the bags off…. Flame the needle. Inject and tape if not using rtv silicone. Repeat for each bag

 

[Observer]

This is what the store had - so what my girl got.

Should still work with any grain rice right - oh well nbd will check back if this kind won't work

- no pore tape or rtv silicone though.

Sooo guess I'm waiting or trying without tape

 

[Observer]

Yolo

Injected the spores in 2 bags

1- 1cc
1- 2-4cc - got stuck and pushed too hard.

Have 8cc left to try again with --- in a cleaner way if this fails.

Also no tape, set my self up for failure but if it works cool.

I did use a lighter to resterilize the needle and disinfectant spray to wipe things down.
