Did the solid jar lid with holes punched and aluminum foil with autoclave tape to sterilize. Left jars in the pots til ready to inoculate with spores next day. Inoculation in sterile open air studio bathroom
This is where we go south and north. I chose “open air†sterilized environment: SMALL (studio bathroom just freshly painted ). I removed all “artifacts (again from first try) , left 2 cabinets\, bleached (the fuck ) of all surfaces tops, bottom fronts & floors and backed out with bleach mix into the air, closed door and put a towel under door so NO CONTAMINANTS could get in. NO PICS as I was a bit busy. Had my jars, my syringes, alchohole wipes, paper towels, flame thrower ready to go ,sterile gloves and a mask, clean clothes and clean SOCKS.
My first try to inject spores/ sterilize needles frequently left me short handed-plus I did freak on needles...so this time-after preparing the sterile 8 x5’ poddy -I asked Hubbie for help. To hand off alcohol wipes, pitch the flame for needles (to turn red) as I was peeling the aluminum off 8 jars to inject the syringes into the prepunched holes 5 holes time 8 jars and retapped with autoclave tape.
Three issues in inoculating; open air.
must be as sterile as you can be if not using glove box. If NOT you get serious icky shit in your jars
no air flow during process-still air-tiny bathroom
enter doorway without making wind-means change your socks at the doorway before entering in with contaminants and once into the 8x5 follow directions and NO FARTING or accusing me of being a control freak as a person that has issues with directions.
2 “strong personalities†masked, socked, gloved in a tiny bathroom and I’m in charge...what a total (goatfuck) but it happened. Nothing icky in my mycelium thus far.
IT IS ALL ABOUT STERILE in inoculating. However you do it.
So the next day I did pay the price of frying my lungs with Clorox water mix , coughed all day, BUT..so far so good..
hubbie supported but still i am still paying the price for making him change socks at doorway..and no farting.
Been kept in “ air cupboard†over fridge-what is a fucking air cubbotd? Images will show my CA idea. Moved the jars into a box taped to increase heat today-increase temp-which along with steril is parimu
jars are looking good. In the 4th week, not all filled, 2 strains look different-no ickey shit thus far...hope to “birth the cakes next weekend-allowing a 5th week. Terrarium ready, perlite ready...

The air cupboard photo above fridge idea for this 5th week has been moved to a brown box in ambient light-more heat. Naturally I thinK all mycelium should grow at the same time
also posting the small bathroom- but I removed artifacts...

That's exactly how the CIA did it inside Cheyenne Mountain. :silly:
Impressive procedure with far too much to digest. I believe I have indigestion! Thanks for all of the fruit filled info. https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charle...s&qid=1570897014&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-1-catcorr

While were on the subject of schroomies. Neighbor and I got chanterelles literally pounds of them nearby. I sautéed them up made some wild mushroom and wild rice soup. Hubby didn't like it but I sure did made garlic toast & mashed avocado on it, now he liked that!! He just doesn't like the soup mixture, wild rice he says isn't rice it's grass which I believe it is. Anyhoo...won't make that again. LOL

After 24 hr soak: did another rinse and roll ( in vermiculite) and into the shotgun terrarium that I prepared with wet/rinsed perlite and water mist. 4 cakes in, 4 now in next soak to repeat=8 cakes. Also made a mesh frame for drying (funky) AND finished 8 females into 5 gal smart pots. Waiting on 8 regular seeds/plants from Honeysticks to declare sex. Now will need to mist & fan 4x a day.
terrarium in what I hope is a perfect light situation.
to round up today’s activity got a fed x delivery from a forever friend💋🥃
cheers ya all.

Tika how long does it take to see spores? This is just fascinating to me weird science experiment I so dig it. Thanks for sharing and now go sit a watch the sunset
