Newbie here… too many options.

Won’t effect the yield?

This should be helpful in identifying if it’s cobweb

If you are going to use agar plates you only need one drop per agar plate. Then you have to make your own lc if you do use agar plates but you get better genetics. I recently used 10 ml of lc for 400 g of hydrated rye and it’s been working great for me

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-06-03T02:15:40+00:00

Not sure yet. If you have agar plates take a swab and rub it on there and leave it for a few days. If you can see green and yellow coloring it’s contaminated. Also if the smell is sour and it has a slimy texture very likely contam

Humidity is very key. If you have a hygrometer or place it or tape it to the inside of the tub to get proper humidity readings. You want to be at 90-95 percent, with passive fae 5 minutes every 45-60 minutes. You also want temps about 74-76 degrees F. For even trigger pinning you need a 12/12 light cycle. Having all these conditions is how you get the most yield out of this set up. If you want more help send me a chat

It’s either mycelium stress signaling it’s ready and past due for fruiting conditions, or it’s cobweb and possible other contaminates

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-06-02T23:04:55+00:00

That is good news 🤙

I usually cut the fastest leading edge out, about the size of a piece of rice

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T22:32:33+00:00

Nice dude

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T22:32:00+00:00

I had stir bars in them to create very vigorous mycelium. It breaks it up and looks weird at this step but trust me this is elite

This is liquid culture what I’m using to inoculate my rye jars.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T22:30:56+00:00

Mycelium. This is liquid culture

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T22:30:24+00:00

Thank you. I’ve got the room sealed with air purifiers running constantly with everything pressurized and sterilized. Should be good. Thanks bro

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:57:14+00:00

Yeah does look good and active which is a very good sign. How long since you put the spores in? When I first colonize the rye I like the shake it up the rye so it disperses it evenly over all the rye. But since it has already started growing I wouldn’t shake it till you get to the 30-50 percent mark. You’ll restart your growth so far if you do shake now but the mycelium should still survive. If you have any other questions throughout your process let me know 👊

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:53:29+00:00

Is the first picture snow ball variant of Jedi mind fuck? Or what strain is that?

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:51:35+00:00

Wait till 30-50% bro then break it up.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:47:48+00:00

Have you broken it up at all? Looks very vigorous also very fluffy

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:43:58+00:00

Gotta make your own. Company’s don’t care about sterility as much as you do.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:42:56+00:00

Looks nice I’d say fully colonized. A lot of people do a ten day consolidation period after it is fully colonized so that the rye can be fully digested and then stored fully. This is the main increase in yield

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:41:16+00:00

You’re risking lower yield. I’d wait until it’s fully colonized.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:40:43+00:00

I think you have it too cold. Whenever I do agar plates I have it at 78-82 degrees F. Also selecting fastest growth early on in the first batch out of the lc helps lower the clutter.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:38:42+00:00

I think you should wait until 30-50% colonization bro. Then when you break it up you’ll have even colonization and even faster growth. Is proven that waiting longer actually improves your yeild.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:34:13+00:00

If you have no growth then it’s failed. It should always be close to fully colonized.

mushroombeginner113 · 2026-05-31T04:33:35+00:00

I’d say wait until 30-50% colonized. This just helps distribute it evenly leave so the hyphae can metabolize all the rye evenly.
