All my jars are colonized to a degree. This is the most colonized ive had a cake at least after a week, for both i used an oven to steralise. 4 cakes in total. 30m at 140c then 2h 30m at 115c. When they came out they looked dry so i filled a old spore syringe with alcohol emptied it then sucked up boiling water and injected about 8 cc around the jar. I did this with two of the 4 jars and those two jars hace colonised the fastest. So in conclusion if a cake seems a little dry then its okay to add streralised water before innoculation however it seems to have grown better where i added the water. Next time im going to dry add extra water the cakes before going in the oven. Im using the oven because I dont have large enough pots to steam and don't have a pressure cooker. I tired twice before the oven using a pot to no avail therefore i will continue to use the oven method

Im not just occasionally wrong .....Im often wrong lol
It very well may be the mycelium your looking for ... and i hope it is.
But .... luck aside ..... If you wish to continue on and be successful with regularity growing fungi ..... Your methodology and approach are in serious need of reworking ... View More
