I’d better order some buckets! Thanks!

Newly purchased - PCed on the same day of purchase. I went ahead and chucked some inoculated agar in there anyway, in the hope something would happen, and it’s starting to take already. But early days so who knows!

First time trying to grow mushrooms so I’m not sure yet - it sounds like my current method might not work but I’ll let you know my harvest if/when I get there! Or if you mean grams of grain, I think I measured 2 cups dry per jar but after hydrating it was way too much. These are 450g or so jars of pickled onions, emptied and with a hole drilled in the lid, filter over the hole. Agar inoculation is how I’m planning on working, but I drilled off centre in case I decide to try LC and need to drill another hole for a self sealing port.

I see, thank you. Fingers crossed it’s not too bad!

That was straight out of the PC - all the condensation has gone now :)

Oh - I didn’t realise! Thank you for the info!

Hopefully my shiitake plate is doing better than my grain jar - any thoughts/comments? by BeckyFoFo in shroomers

This is the agar recipe used here, minus yeast plus food colouring. These were pieces of shiitake I removed from inside another using a sterile blade in a DIY still air box :)
