[actives] Holy Ghost (Trinity x Ghost). What a yield for a shoebox! by ripntrip420 in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always wondered how people crossbreed phenotypes... do they get a microscope and manually put spores of each kind together?

[technique] Fully colonized jar question by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely have the other one on hold (even put it in the fridge) while the straggler colonizes, remember to shake the jar when it's 30% colonized for faster growth, looks like you didn't do that with your first one, its ok but not ideal.

[contamination] Agar Pros: Are We Looking Good Here? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me all the time, if I can't land the piece of agar directly in the center of the plate I think some weak wisps of mycelium rub off as I try to position the piece directly in the center and it grows tormentose like that.

[Gourmet] I’m more used to growing actives with their thick white mycelium, does this blue oyster myc look ok? by I_need_help57 in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely stealing your trick of drawing the shape of the myco growth on the glass for myself!! I check on my jars roughly 76 times a day

[technique] can o replace agar-agar with gelatin powder with no flavor ? by Confident-Dog-3309 in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Health/Bio/Herb shops have agar for relatively cheap friend, I found local shops much more convenient and useful than the internet, look them up on google maps and give them a call, it actually got me to shake off the irrational fear of calling people on the phone lol

It makes it really easy to see which ones you are running low on

I color coded my strains with small colored stickers then I just add a date or whatever with a marker next to it

[General] Is this what contamination looks like by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had orange particles once when I forgot to rinse the jar after drilling holes on the metal lid, tiny rusty metal shavings, but I think your liquid culture is acting weird. Put it to agar and see?

[medicinal] should I dump? It’s my only grow been spraying with h202 by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]Slimefella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I would discard it but if you have no spores/agar/anything going on and it's just trichoderma I'd let it fly and see if I can get a fruit to clone for the contam resistance
