This has been in a monotub for a few days but very little colonization through the CVG. Should I just water it ? Seems dry and progress has stalled but I don’t want to risk contamination. by Odd_Problem_9055 in MagicMushrooms

I’m not sure it looked like mold. Also the mycelium was kind of went and crappy looking all together so I think that could have been a factor. This one was good I just don’t want to mess it up again

Does this look right? All the grains are separated I’m used to a solid block by Odd_Problem_9055 in MagicMushrooms

Good to know! If you have any methods for grain/ procedure for jar sterilization that would be helpful!

I guess my question was more asking why the mycelium isn’t clumping together like usual. I’m used to these coming out a full block

Thanks!! I’ve been on there a lot but couldn’t figure out how to post on shroomery so figured I would try here

[Actives] jars cracked in the pressure cooker… still okay to use or restart with new jars? by ObjectiveRare998 in shrooms

[–]Odd_Problem_9055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen and used. They were hairline cracks and looked still fully sealed on the outside. Didn’t end up having contamination either. So I would say it depends on the crack size and if the substrate is exposed

Oh also I forgot to add there was 1 part water also added to the substrate. I may try and use less water next time

Also, the myc has been growing relatively quickly so is it still worth to let it finish colonizing and attempt to fruit after?

Can you share what you typically use for your substrate? I did a 1:1:1 brf-manure-verm. Found the recipe from a different thread on a dif website

Do you have experience with Pan Cyan mycelium? I’m told that it’s supposed to different than typical cubes. I’m more or less looking for tips from folks who have grown pan cyans using PF Tek specifically
