I think my coir is too base then and it too wet. Do you keep misting with mushrooms growing ? One of the jars has produced maybe a half oz dry. The others are behind . It seems like they will eventually yield decent. I’m happy and surprised 0 contaminants so far .. I just inoculated 4 more jars...

Blue … instant blue bruising

The mycelium just isn’t running up the coir like I would think. I must have done something wrong with the coir casing . It is 70/30 vermiculite to coir. I ran the coir through a sifter so it is fine. I pasteurized it as per your post . Moist and 4 hours at 200

The mycelium just isn’t running up the coir like I would think. I must have done something wrong with the coir casing . It is 70/30 vermiculite to coir. I ran the coir through a sifter so it is fine. I pasteurized it as per your post . Moist and 4 hours at 180. I got not contaminated casing or...

I can see mycelium at the surface now but there are pins about two to three inches down. I foiled the sides the same day I topped with cocoa coir. Maybe some light leak or who knows . The second picture is the most advanced jar with pins at the top the rest of the jars are finally getting...

It’s 70% vermiculite to 30% cocoa coir , correct? I’m not seeing the mycelium take over the coir and only two jars have pins but inches below the top

#1,060 Sorry I didn’t post anything. Been very busy with work. I fixed the problem with the popcorn. I just needed to boil longer (1 hr) and used less popcorn and made sure they were split. The jars were colonized in 10 days . ok, so I cased them with coir and vermiculite( pasteurized) last...

Starting a new run tonight. I will post when I do. I will post a picture of the popcorn before jarring . I guess I will just strain it and let dry for a hour or two then pressure cook it tonight.

Thanks guys … ordered more jars… I have so many spore syringe it’s stupid . So I’ll keep trying and posting my fails . Hope this is helping . Def helping me and thank you all for your time

It’s hard not to be successful cloning San Pedro. Like really hard . I had a tiny piece I forgot about all summer in 110 degree heat just laying behind some boxes. It still grew roots looming for water

I feel like I boiled for about an hour . I’m going to use more water and less kernel and boil longer . I’m in the middle of moving so it won’t be until this weekend and I will restart.

Thank you for the response. I left the popcorn out to dry on a clean towel over night . The popcorn was dry when I jarred it. After pressure cooking there was water droplets in the jar. How can I retain moisture in the jar better? Should I use popcorn that’s still slightly wet?

Tomorrow is week three since injecting spores … all the popcorn is lightly fuzzy but the mycelium is very thick white at all… definitely don’t see any contamination. But after watching popcorn tek videos it seems like the mycelium should be more progressed

Day 6 after inoculation . I had to throw out one jar so far out of eight. I am positive it was a bad syringe now. Every jar has healthy spots of mycelium and they have all been shook. I originally was going to run another 4 jars but it was taking too long to wait for the jars to cool down and I...

One out of eight jars has definite contamination. See the really dark spots… i am throwing this jar out. It seems like a bad syringe. I set the syringe aside . And marked it The other jars had white fuzzy and I shook them up. We will see in a day or two where those are at…

Yes. I used dry mushroom I bought off the street. The crazy thing is in the end I had about 10 treys going . one had to be tossed. Actually the first trey that I put tissue in had what I thought was contamination but I let it go. It actually ended up growing a baby mushroom . I would definitely...

The black spots are spores. Too early to tell but I have some fungus growing. The dark under the fuzzy is the kernel. I’ll keep posting pics.

I have done it a few times. You want to have about 20 agar treys . I bought the ones ready to go. I made a glove box to keep contaminants low. Then I used a scalpel to cut a small piece of flesh from the dried mushroom . When I saw mycelium start running there was also contamination on the...

This thread is old and I really appreciate your reply. To save me a little time scrolling the comments; has anyone new to growing tried your method and posted pictures ? I grew a bulk grow a couple years ago with mild success but other than that I am new to growing mushrooms . So I am trying...

How many days should it for the spores to germinate? After taking them from the pressure cooker there was a little moisture in the jar. I tried a run covering them in foil and a little bit still got in. I flipped the lid upside-down as per instruction. …
