Mycelium Liquid Cultures

[Goonie Goat]

Decided to toss the check valves,
fresh air can pass through, and carbon dioxide can gas off when needed.

 

[Goonie Goat]

Pressure cooked liquid culture peptone, light malt and glucose syrup for about 15-20 mins at 12 psi.

All jars held up well just a matter of cooling down and injecting clean cultures into the jars now

 

[Goonie Goat]

Injected approx 2cc of liquid culture into each jar.

Going by the syringes I think the Lizard King will be the fastest colonizing strain of the lot.



Lizard King - Mexican
Koh Samui Super Strain - Thai
PE6 - Penis Envy × Texas
Moby Dick - Albino A+ × Golden Teacher

The peptone made the liquid change to a caramel colour.

Hmm I wonder why it wouldn't?
My first grow I did albino a+ and had the same thing happen. Filled a whole monotub full of healthy white mycelium but just never pinned, then green mould took over.

What was your medium?

Same its like it took to long and the mold beat it to the line, I tried straight coco, then I tried 70 coco 30 vermiculite, then 70/ 30 composted cowshit then gave up

I'll give them all a go in 2-1-1-.5 Cow shit, Coco, Vermiculite, Millet.

Probably just go with bags

Last couple bags I done i put my brown rice in the bottom and then coco on top, sealed them 3/4 across about 50mm down then sealed the top 3/4 across. Got some of that polyester wool stuffing shit k-pock or whatever its called, packed it in between the 2 seal lines, then sealed the top the rest of the way and into the steriliser. Then when I wanted to start fresh air exchange I cut the corner off at the other end of the 3/4 seal ( only the top seal not the bottom seal line) so then i had about 120mm of filter the air had to pass through to get into the bag, then used my electric air bed pump to suck the old air out then blow new air in. You just have to watch you dont blow the stuffing into the bag, I done 8 bags and got zero mold and full bags of shrooms, next slow strain i get ill try this way that will buy it extra time without mold taking over

Have you ever tried just dumping freshly cooked medium into bags? I hate how the bags get wrinkly from pressure cooking and it really fucks me over when I try sealing them off haha.

Was thinking of doing a little bit of millet on the bottom for a grain spawn point.
I'm still pretty new to mushie growing never really took it seriously, few oysters and other gourmet varieties but never had much luck with cubensis. Actually did better growing pan cyan blue meanies which are apparently the hardest to grow.

No I've always just pressure cooked the lot, when I do all in one bags. I cook the rice for about 10 mins so you can just squash it with some pressure, put some on the bottom then coco on top then when inoculating i squirter the inside of the bag so it runs down under coco and onto the rice
