Um... It's genetic. Spores from button mushrooms will yield button mushrooms. If you could get them to fruit,

I assume that you can't use a more interior closet? If not. And you feel that you may have a contam issue. You could buy a large tote. A hepa filter and put in a $2 pc fan. You would still need to do this if you got the pre built box. Essentially you're building a pre box for your box.

Got my whole house to use, was thinking about using a bedroom that's not used much and putting it in the closet. Thanks for all the help :)

So it's been 3 months since my jars showed signs of pinning, and they're still going at it. I thought they would be spent long ago, I'm just wondering if it is dangerous to eat mushrooms growing out of 3 month old quart jar popcorn cakes? I have 34g dried with more drying and growing but no desire to consume them (I've been doing them weekly since my camping trip and feel like they're taking a tole on me.). I know a few of my friends would love to have some, I just don't want to get them sick.

I've tried the google

The cakes and fruit appear to be healthy? If so...
Eat those shits.

Here's an idea. I'm in the same boat. I got well over an oz in my freezer. Been giving away at least a 1/4 a week. How about taking 30 grams. A pint size jar. And some honey. Grind up the shrooms. And make blue honey. Just stick the jar in the back of your closet. This way. When your cakes finally die off. Or you bury em for spring. You don't even have to think about growing again for another year.

So my jars are still taking stupidly long to colonize... None of them have stalled completely, and there's still growth happening, it's just really, really slow. I've been giving them air every few days or so for the past month, and my temps are around 73F. No signs of contamination as far as I can tell.

Could my humidity be too low? Maybe opening them up often is allowing moisture to escape. Would a few mls of distilled water in each jar help them out?

I'll be honest with you. There's a good chance that those jars are already contaminated. Not saying they are. But, if they have been a good warm place. Correctly moisturized at the beginning. Then they should be ready by now. Keep em. Experiment. Take half of the jars. Give em ONE spritz of H20. And shake very well. Once every 3 days. Watch and see what happens. But be warned. Adding H20 this way can very well lead to contamination. Still air + stagnate moisture = contamination. Good luck. Get new spores. Make new jars.

Thanks for the tips! I know that I fucked up using quart instead of pint jars, so when I make new ones I'll do it right this time. Idk, they smell fine and are growing, albeit slowly.

I was thinking I'd squirt 2mls or so of distilled water into the jars using a sterile needle to reduce chances of contamination, but maybe a spray bottle would be better.

1447120553773.jpg I'm about to inoculate some jars. Got my GT spores the other day. Made myself a still air box, mixed up my substrate and pressure cooked everything this morning. Jars are just sitting in my SAB waiting for me to noc them up.

Fingers crossed I manage to keep everything sterile and clean so I don't fuck these up.

No. You have the right idea with the syringe.

Great! Try to save as much spore juice as possible.
