a mediocre shroom garden thread

Pretty sure that the room does not need to be clean.
The sterilization part is important during inoculation only.
Keeping the inside of the box clean is obviously a good idea but if the surrounding room isn't tighty,
Im sure You will get away with no contamination.

Your shoes and such will not affect anything.

Hey quick question. I will be keeping my mini monotub in a closet. There are blankets in there and shoes. How sterile does the environment need to be? I have seen people grow on their desk in a bedroom. Can you maybe explain where the threshold of dirty is? A lot of threads I read give me the impression that your room needs to be sterile like a hospital room. Now granted I will be going in the closet and clearing it out and Clorox wipe it. So my next question is, after full colonization of the mini monotub how is Trich possible when the substrate is dominated by the Mycelium? Also should I make a glove box and mix my spawn and substrate it? I was going to sterilize the the whole closet and take everything out for the mixing. And put everything back after the full colonization. If this doesn't work I'll do BRF cakes next time.

Also what are the barbi dolls y'all were talking about? Are those another word for pins?

Lol I think BBQ has been ducking with me. Fortunately Im super weird. I just imagine he was looking at memes and saw a living Barbie so I didnt question it Lol. You could mix your sub in he glove box or not, just turn off the Ac and fan. Trich won't be capable of competing with a fully colonized sub for the first flush but come second flush you have to remain sterile again. Your closet will be ok I think. I keep my sgfc in my bedroom where I certainly am not sterile. Its just away from soil and plants. I still have plenty of success taking prints and clones. Just like here at riu, newbies post how_to's and make the task seem like a nightmare. You'll probably seen he same members post something later contradicting themselves. We've all done it. Sometimes flying high at the keyboard is bad for teaching others Lol. Main keys for being sterile is your hands, keep your hands clean as clean can be. But other than that, once your mycelium is colonized it competes like Conan.

I have little hands on experience with bulk sub. Only what my mentor has showed me in his lab and my reading. He had a large dog roaming the house. Follow your videos and other popular tek videos to get a feel for what kind of environment their sitting working in as well as how hastily but precise they are to keep notice of everything there touching while working. Imo its easiest to sterilize an is spray bottle and cling to it during the op than to go bananas cleaning everything in site. Continuously spray your hands when you touch something new and let them dry. You'll get a feel for it. Also iso can cause mutation if it makes contact as a liquid or gas to your mycelium.

Excerpt from shroomery on tap water versus bottled or sterilized by heat

Quoting roger rabbit :

"Tap water is superior, and chlorine in the amounts contained therein is a good thing. When the cakes are submerged during the dunk, bacteria is favored in the anaerobic conditions under water, and the chlorine helps to control it.

I'm getting my commercial mushroom farm certified organic in one of the strictest states to get organic certification, and there is no problem with spraying the fruiting areas with bleach solution, and/or using it in the soak water. It's a long tested and safe method. Consider it the lesser of two evils if you wish: Bacteria, which can kill you, or chlorine which only tastes funny, but in small amounts is relatively harmless.

My cabin is very remote and off the grid. Therefore, I have a 400 feet deep well that delivers pristine drinking water. However, when dunking substrates, I add a cap full of bleach per bucket of water for the reasons stated above. It doesn't impact the grow in a negative way at all.
RR"

Which part ?

Just a general, "no you don't need to turn your room into a hospital."

I do my inoculation and spore work in a tiny toilet.

Spray some air sanitizer and go to work fast.. Shit kills almost everything in the air.

Lol. On Barbie dolls. Dude thanks for all your help. You have been amazing. I'll post up pics later today. It looks as if it will be 4 weeks at full Colonization maybe longer.

Alright folks here they are. 3 weeks since innoculated and I'm homing by Week 4 I'll be done. Some of the yellow from the rye berries shows through the Mycelium and it made me worry a little, nothing to worry about right? Also I saw some moisture gather and it had a yellow tint? I'm sure it's nothing but the rye berries. The last photo is the yellow I saw. Any who questions, comments, and criticism are welcome. Enjoy.

Yellow is usually an indicator your temps are a bit high. Nothing to fret over. Yours doesnt look like metabolites. Looks great! Beautiful growth man

Got it, it got up to 84 but was never there for more than an hour. Do you not want it to go above 80? Do you think it slowed the growth? I feel like it has

And Thank You

by the looks of my spawn bag it seems as if it has stopped growing, but when i tilt the bag and rye berries run off, you can see the body is pretty massive. It looks like 3/4's of the spawn bag has colonized. the mycelium is beautiful and spreads out it's fingers across the berries. It's a really cool thing to behold. The more I read about these ultra recycler's the more i love and respect these beings. It's incredible to think what it has done for humanity and what it will continue to do, especially now that they have found fungus that will break plastic down. What an odd, promising, organism that pokes it's head out of the ground after rain. What a neat world we live it.

Also Shroom Porn is cool. Post away

What in the heck!

Yep, it's a tiny spare shitter with porcelain tiled walls. (don't ever shit in there on mushrooms, the walls turn see through and you can look straight through into another dimension) Very small volume of air to sanitise, no drafts, and you can use the closed toiled as a little lab table.

Clones on wbs cakes.
Panaeolus retry with a less compact version of the same mix I tried last tine that didn't fruit. I think it was because I didn't case it and the center was too compact. Grass, coffee, azomite, brf. Listed by amount. Cased in moist verm. The mycelium has grown through over the last two days.

Bout time I cleaned the perlite eh?

Hauatla clone on brf, second flush

Then there are some cakes that just want fruit. .. I just rinsed and redunked them after a week or two of not pinning. Then rerolled in verm

Goddamn I just realized you're telling the truth. Shroom poopin is frightening and pure. Lonely. Exciting. ... All the feels.

Beautiful. Saw a tek on Pan Cyans that's similar to the PF Tek, I think I'll try it next time. My girlfriend and I are going to buy one of those deals that's like a crock pot, pressure cooker, rice steamer etc. I'm really excited.

Poo cakes? That's the most common I have seen fruit successfully. I've seen grass trays fruit short caps, which is what I'm going for.

Wait is pf tek a bulk or cake tek?
