My first class with the golden teacher

if they spread its a contam, but it could be from the water in the syringe making a wetter area thus darker. but some how i doubt it, it looks to be a bacterial contamination.

Are you serious??? Casing layer is completely unnecessary and obsolete for cubes.

Not if you want to get a genuine yield that is orchestrated and nearly complete after flush three. I have plenty of evidence to back my statement up, pictures as well. Otherwise you are simply hoping that you will make up yield by continuing to eek out a few extra grams flush after flush.
 
went and checked on casing....seem to have had alot of growth since saturday, chucked out the corn in the 3 jars that werent doing shit. have 8 more that are doing good. 1 slacker that isnt colonized as much as the others.

took some pics forgot cam so im heading back in a few once wife gets home. boiled some straw (didnt have a thermometer to bring it to 170 so just brought to boil and strained.) going to case one more pan today so i can do a side by side verm/straw will give me a better idea of things and i planned on using the straw anyways.

0 contams...should i be a bit worried about that? i mean my first time i was expecting contamination, just had 3 dud jars that smelled like.....wet popcorn kernels lol

anyways pics coming later tonight i hope...wanted to blast a pic of the verm casing see if i should start fruiting but my guess is no. might give it another 2 days.....its so tempting to just fruit, especially when you have more jars colonixing well.

i do have a question...theres some condensation on the sides of my jars....im just chalking that up to by product of ...looking for word.........cant find it...creb cycle maybe ummmm i know theres a fucking word for it..

anyways cant think of the word but its when a organism uses any nutrient theres always a by product or a waste...like people taking a shit....ya know...
 
Not to ruin the thread. I pc 6 jars of corn and took the pc lid off 2 hours later thinking they would be cool to innoc. They are hot as hell, should I re-pc and wait 12 hours...
 
Damn Matt!!! I see White!!! haha Lots of White!! Man you're going to have a one hell of summer buddy ;) shit looks nice ;)

I'll have some pictures of my 3 jars tomorrow, ain't nothing compared to yours man haha but as long as I get just a bit of mushies for me and my wife I be good :fire:
 
Looking good man, love the growth! Those jars are looking great, and your gonna fruiting that tray in no time woot!
 
thanks guys!!

how does the verm casing look? think i can fruit it today or tomorow?

i know the straw is going to take a little while, i want to compare the verm casing with the straw casing as far as time it takes to colonize and amount of fruits i get from each...if the amount of colonizing time is worth the additional fruits i dont mind using the straw..i know the straw will take longer to colonize but i think the fruits are going to be bigger because they can pull nutrient from the straw.

i just want to see pinning!! lol

Simpy be patient. If they are REALLY hot use something clean to get them out of your PC. They will be semi-sterile for a bit and you may as well use that steriliity to your advantage.

that is some of the most rhyzomorphic mycelium growing off of grain I have ever seen. Take care, it is so much so that it may miss some kernels - SHAKE those things. And be doubly sure of your straw because if you do it right I assure you that your mushrooms will RACE through the straw.
 
Looks great matt. I have not seen nearly the same amount (and I've only seem pics) of mycelium but that is also the most rhyzomorphic I have seen there are nice long strands everywhere.

I inoculated 4 pints today; I have not seen any growth my other jars.

i guess thats a compliment coming from someone in the myco hobby for 40+ years...maybe not to me but to my mycelium lol

What is that last picture? is that casing? I think I see popcorn but if it is casing, it is past time for you to initiate your pinning.

yes that is a vermiculite casing i am experiment with, want to see the difference between straw and verm...I know straw is going to produce better fruits due to the fact that it is semi nutritious...but i figured i would experiment a small amount..

i only cased that pan on saturday and it dosent seem like the mycelium is growing into the verm that much...the white specs are popcorn that are visible from the top. still think i should fruit? i have been wanting too so bad but dont want to be too hasty and screw myself. i was planing on giving it till saturday (1 week colonizing after casing)

thanks for all the kind words guys...im pretty happy with my results thus far for this being my first run at this. good vibes to everyone else and i hope you all get great results as well :)
 
I also ran into a issue with the mycelium getting stuck to the trash bag...didnt want to damage it so i put the lid on the pan and covered the lid with another aluminum pan, it wouldnt fit in my incubator with the lid and pan on it so i just left it on to...the apt stays mid 70's anyways so i figure it should be fine...it wont get the fluxuation to 85 like the incubator does but should still be decent temps for growth.

will the trash bag hurt the mycelium? pulling it off the grain?
