It is going to be a busy day, so I have started early.
This is one of the Tidal Wave Jar cakes after the third dunk. Just a few more off that one, and I will be done with it.
I have one Tidal Wave cake in the dunk right now from the second round of jar inoculations. I'm hoping to get one of the Pan Cyans' in a dunk today or tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!

What a great picture! I love watching them grow......It is going to be a busy day, so I have started early.

When you give them a dunk are you using distilled water?

Yes, I am using distilled for the dunks.
I took out both jars of the Pan Cyan, thinking they were heading for a dunk today and opening the first one, I found mold on the top layer. Closed that back up and it's now sitting outside.
The second one looks okay, but the mycelium had not covered the bottom yet. So, because these have been a bother from the get go, I decided to take it into the dunk before it had a chance to go bad. LOL
It's a let down, because the second inoculation jars were done soooo carefully. The Ape is doing fine, just slow. It shows no signs of contaminants, just good mycelium.

I think you will find once you start using a pressure cooker and the SAB your contamination will be reduced. I have not lost a single grain spawn jar in a loooong time. My problem lately is some contamination in my dub tubs, about 25%. I usually lose 1 out of 4 shoeboxes of the substrate. It is what it is though.........My Laboratory is far from ideal lab conditions.

Oh geez, the same here. I have fans blowing all the time with the indoor plant grow, which is now in two separate rooms, so the air circulation is constantly moving. I have to wait 20 minutes or so before I start in the SAB. LOLI think you will find once you start using a pressure cooker and the SAB your contamination will be reduced.

I took a look at the rice jars I had done last week, and it sure looks like Mycelium starting. My fingers are crossed.
Currently waiting on another delivery of supplies, and getting things finished up. Tomorrow will be a no work on anything day. I have a friend coming over and we are going to try a couple of fresh Tidal Wave shrooms.

Sounds Like a Sunday afternoon tea party is in order. I just found a recipe off a guy I follow on Tictoc. After you make the tea you add cacao and honey. Supposedly the shrooms are a vascular constrictor and the cacao is supposed to negate that side effect of the shrooms. Just got my cacao and raw honey the other day. When I get off call It's tea time for me.

Well, my Lemon tek is ready...we might go for that. We'll see.
Let us know how that cacao does. I have a lot of that in my pantry and I always keep raw honey on hand, because I make greek yogurt for Mom once a week using it.

Did you happen to watch a video on YouTube about trichoderma actually seating itself permanently into the plastic tubs? It may have been one of PGT's, I can't remember. It was interesting.I think you will find once you start using a pressure cooker and the SAB your contamination will be reduced. I have not lost a single grain spawn jar in a loooong time.

No have not seen that or heard of it. I give them a good scrub and then give them a 70% isopropyl wipedown. Next time I will make sure I scrub behind the ears.....Thx for the heads up.

UPDATE: 12-17-23
Here's one of the rice jars from last week. It looks like mycelium....I hope it's mycelium. LOL
I'll wait a few days and give it a good shake to disperse the mycelium. I have a couple of other jars, rice and birdseed that are looking promising.
The second pic is mycelium that had been transferred from another petri dish, and it's spreading very well. This one was from liquid syringe spores. The lump is just agar from transferring. I need a little practice on that to get less of a chunk during transfer, I dug a little too deep.
It is impossible to get a sharp image through the plastic petri dish, but I wasn't going to open that up to do it.

Birdseed works great too. I just fish out most of the big black floaty seeds and the rest is mostly millet!!
