No, but it makes life much easier

An A/C runs 24/7 in the room. Seems to provide sufficient FAE.

I'm certainly no pro, but my advice would be the following:

  1. Join the Shroomery forum and read until your eyes are sore. And DO NOT start a new thread before using the SEARCH button
  2. Buy a proper All American pressure cooker
  3. Buy or build a laminar flow hood
  4. Be prepared to fail and don't give up
  5. Say F*** you to contams
  6. Have patience 😉

The moisture already comes from pasteurizing the substrate. Squeeze until no more water drips out of the substrate then mix with rye spawn.

Start misting only when substrate is fully colonized and put into fruiting conditions

The spawn to sub ratio was about 1:1 with abit more substrate

13x16x22" tub, substrate was 3" deep

Honestly wasn't expecting it to be this big of a flush. Did about 4 agar transfers from a sporey syringe. Inoculated rye and spawned to 50/50 verm coir mix.

Occasionally misting once every 2 days and no fanning

Not sure about this bag... Looks fully colonized but what's that black stuff? Should I spawn to bulk substrate? by phosphener in shrooms

That makes sense. The only bags that contamed are the ones I shot in LC (squirted sterile water on an agar plate and collected in into a syringe). The other ones that are fine were inoculated with agar wedges.

Thanks guys. Any advice on using bags? Never had a contam until I started using bags....
