About this deal

I cleaned the area and heated the needled up to glowing using a little handheld blowtorch lighter kind of thing used for cooking. Now, I know what you’re thinking ‘Garf, just use sterilised bags of grain’ and my answer to that is I don’t have a pressure cooker big enough for it to make sense just yet, I don’t want to run and setup my bubba barrel for a few bags of grain and I don’t really have the storage right now and I don’t have to make any more excuses! If you are following all proper sterile procedures and still getting contaminated jars, then either the culture is contaminated or the sterilization process for the grains is not effective. A 24 oz premium super quick 5 grain jar is a specially designed glass jar that contains a mixture of 5 different grains and is used for growing mycelium or mushroom spores. I wanted to use poly stuffing on both grain jars and small mason ‘petri’ with foil cover, but it did not seem to work … Any hint would be fine here, I just don’t get why ?

Or, if transferring grain spawn from another jar or bag, use a sterile long-handled spoon to place 3-4 scoops of grain spawn into your sterile substrate. Once your substrate has been taken over with mycelium, you will want to transfer to a cooler location. We will process the personal data you have supplied to communicate with you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. There are other ways of making jars, some use Tyvek or permeable gaskets but all achieve the same end. The reason I use hot water is because it expands the grain and causes it to release more of its dirt, it also does a fantastic job of speeding up the soaking process, by partially cooking the grain it softens the seed coat much quicker than regular soaking.

As for the agar solution coming through the lid of the bottle- this is likely from “boil over” and it happens when the area around the agar cools down faster than the agar itself, which causes the hot agar solution to boil through the filter. Once the grain is fully colonized (meaning the mycelium has completely covered the grain) you can either make more spawn with a grain to grain transfer, or you can add it to a bulk substrate to grow mushrooms right away.

However, I find glass jars to be the best choice for the home grower due to size, ease of use, and reusability. Hi, in this instructable I'm going to show you how I made mushroom fairy houses out of cute little jars. Pass it through the hole and secure it against the lid of the jar by holding it firm for a few seconds and twisting slightly to remove air pockets. Although the following method is a little labor intensive, it’s a foolproof way to get perfect grain spawn every time.Its versatile design makes this the perfect plastic container for creams, powders, balms, glitter and gels. We love funny or cool looking stickers so if you have an idea or illustration that would make a great sticker, please share!

I also like to place the lid on the jar upside down, meaning the metal side is against the glass and the rubber seal is facing up.Cover the tinfoil shape with a layer of clay and also start shaping the walls, the door and the windows on the jar. With a lid and inner liner, in a unique mushroom shape, these opaque plastic pots come as a complete unit. This makes it easier when trying to open the lid in a sterile environment without having to pry it off with your fingers. I would put the soaked substrate drip dried into the jars, drill a quarter inch hole and stuff with poly stuffing before screwing on the top.
