Man, that brings back some serious memories. That is exactly what got me into the 'special' mushrooms many years ago. Thank you for making such a concise and straightforward video. I will be directing people here. LC and PF Tek. Perfect combination.

hell yes. You can use PF cakes for inoculating other substrate, but it gets tricky because you might be introducing contams at every new step of the way.@@belghirudanielaelena7200

PF Tek is great if you don't want to work with agar. The stuff is really resilient to contamination. I've gone spore prints straight to jars and it just works (P. Natals really do great). The downside is that fruiting to PF Tek cakes doesn't give great yields, so I like to start with PF and expand it to more sterilized grain.

I'm starting with pf Tek since it's very beginner friendly. I'm going for the monotube after a couple yields

Currently growing for the first time from scratch using the PF TEK (all going well). My next challenge is something that has a greater yield, like monotub. Thanks for the videos!

Nice music selection, Dynamic editing, The speaker speaks concisely and informatively. It would be great if all educational videos were like this.

Thank you! 🙏 🍄

I don't use this method but thank you for sharing your knowledge with me and everyone. I do believe that mushrooms are a medicine and much much more so I think that sharing the knowledge of how to cultivate is important for people who want to try them but don't know how. Thank you for that. I like your tat as well.

Never stop!

looks like I'll have to invest in mason jars and a pressure cooker, nice one!

Awesome serotonin tat

Your music is DOPE!

Great video, the only one I've watched that made me want to try PF. I bet I could make up a multispore LC and go hunting for weirdoes. One fruiting chamber could yield so many different phenotypes in a small foot print. So many mushies.......so little time.

It gives me great pleasure seeing your innovation. Keep it up Bro.👍fantastic

Umm 🤔 I just clone some Tidal Wave into Liquid Culture. I might try this Tek so I can get some good genetics. Might try this with APEs too.

So you do spray it everyday? I keep having issues with mold but i dont fan my boxes enough that could be why but then other times ill leave the lid cracked and mold still forms even with fresh air. Ive had it where i dont open it at all and no mold grows its so random theres no pattern. I noticed the water likes to wick to the bottom and mold no matter what i do. Is that why you put perlite under your cakes? Just curious it could be a good prevention method

Try the ziploc bag fruiting tek it’s good for isolating contams

Did you put the jars in the cooker with a slightly loosened cap?

@SporenSprout

3 ай бұрын

I did but it’s not a big deal.

I have used rye spawn bags and just took the cake out of the bag and put it into a humidity chamber and gotten some yield. I'm wondering if I did this with those cakes but instead of vermiculite use a website casing mix or maybe coir. Do you think that would increase the yield? Thnx

@zenosyeetgalvus

19 күн бұрын

Coir definitely improved my yields compared to just verm after the dunk. I use only coir for casing top and bottom now

Would cakes still remain solid with only grains? Whole rice and flour? And would rolling in coir work aswell?(PF tek without verm)

Hi, but when you remove the mycelium cake and put it in water, doesn't it all have to be sterilized? Can I remove them from the jar and put them under tap water without problems? Thank you

@SporenSprout

4 күн бұрын

Yes it’s fine, once the cake is fully colonized it is resistant to contamination. Just use tap water.

If I sterilized 6 jars but only want to use 2 of them, would the silicone keep it sterile for when I eventually want to use it? Or should I just do 2 at a time. Another question I have is, can I break these up and use them in a monotub if I mix it with something like coir? Thanks in advance and thank you for your very helpful video! Can't wait to start growing

@SporenSprout

Yes you can save them after sterilization and they will last months on the shelf before inoculation. Yes you can definitely break up the cakes and mix with coco coir in a tub!

Fully colonized cakes are resistant to contamination. A fruiting chamber is not sterile , It is a natural process for the cakes to become contaminated after harvesting a couple times as well.

Hey Spore, quick question if you have time. I set up several mono tubs last night (CVG) and ran out of substrate to top the last tub. I had the perfect amount to mix with my last two jars of spawn but not enough to cover the top and there are some exposed grains. I can't get coir locally, should I leave it alone or try to top it with vermiculite tonight? Or did I just screw this tub? @@SporenSprout
