The purpose of keeping the jars from touching the bottom of the pot is so they are not in direct contact with the heat source. If the jars were that close to the heat source, the substrate would burn and become useless. Also try to keep them from touching the sides of the pot.
After the 90 minutes are up, take the jars out of the pot and let them cool. Once they are cool to the touch, you are ready to inoculate them with the spore syringes.

I can only see a little white mycelium in one of the jars. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. I love Mushroom a great deal. It shows up as often as possible on my dishes however in market, mushrooms are costly. So I am truly giving genuine idea to develop it in my home.
Always wait until full cultivation or you increase the chance of contamination during fruiting. Patience is key. I have several jars that turned partly black as the white mycelium were developing.
Within days the black disappeared and the white mycelium took completely over with no sign of any black in the jars. Are the white mycelium contaminated or can I take these jars to the next growing level and will the mushrooms be safe to use? You might be lucky and have good finish but next time cut of the black spot with sterile instrument.
I have had a few jars of inoculated rye berries that never form mycelium. The grains seem wet, which suggests that I injected too much spore solution.
Is there a way to reduce the humidity in the jars at this point? Or should I just start over? Unless your growing pan cyans i dont know why your humidity is so high…the puddles are fine. Put the fogger on a wifi timer…. Hi, I see standing water at the bottom of my oyster mushroom bags and also a lot Of water droplets.
I tried to cut the bottom a little and tried to drain the water with a help of some cotton. Will that help? Thank you! I know…. Grain on the bottom straw in the middle and horse manure substrate on top. My problem is most of my shrooms are growing in the straw and not on top.
What do I do?? Should I cut the bag or just let them grow like that?? The kit came with the mycellum in the bag n compost separate to place on top.. I think my mistake was I didnt materialise the knife.. N if I remove the mold with sterile equipment should I have anouther go at just topping up the compost or does anyone suggest to remove the mycellum n place it in a sterile container n then topped with compost?
Or hay? I continued to next process and 2 more weeks later, still nothing. Looks like its growing a green mold on the substrate. Should I toss this kit and give up? My golden teachers are growing well but on some of the mushrooms there are fuzzy white-ish tips at the tops.
What would cause this? Thank you!!! If I got brown sludge on my mycelium in my container how do I prevent that next time. Was it cause my container was on the floor? Or was it cause the temp in my closet was to high, which I noticed afterwards. My spores have already turned my pasteurized subtrate completely white after 5 days. Should I wait to cast for another week? Your email address will not be published.
