For sure does.Plastic definitely helps to get the side fruits harvested:)View attachment 1070872
I'd do anywhere from 0 - 12 hours.Tub is fruited and ready to soak,
How long should I soak?
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Thanks!!I'd do anywhere from 0 - 12 hours.
Kinda depends on the condition of your substrate... if you notice it's lost considerable weight or looks dry, I'd overnight it. If it still seems to be pretty well-saturated, I'd probably skip the soak and maybe just give it a good drenching mist - let whatever accumulates stay around until tomorrow and drain it off then.
They do not need to be refrigerated.
Happy to help!Thanks!!
Really appreciate your expertise on this particular subject!
You’ve been a huge help:)

You'll get over this hump.Man.. am I ever feeling discouraged today. The shoeboxes seem ok but damned if everything else isnt looking contaminated with something. All the g2g jars i did are looking wet around the mycelium, and its moving super slow so likely bacterial.
and both my petrie dishes look contamnated with something. The peurto rican was nasty the next day, but the Amazonian looked great until this morning when this spot appeared in the corner. Not sure what it is but its not mycelium. Ive got 1 agar dish left so ill try and move the mycelium to it soon and see if i can save it.

I think my house just isnt nearly clean enough for this hobby, even in an SAB.
Ill give a couple more cracks at it, but if this perpetual contamination persists i think ill move on from this hobby.
I know the reaction all too well.Yeah no doubt ill get back on it, i dont like to be defeated. But im sure feeling defeated right now lol. When i saw my g2g looking super wet today and then saw that spot on the amazonian i had a real moment of, ok, well.. fuck this shit then...
That'll likely turn the corner once i actually see some mushrooms from all this effort.
I deplore working in the SAB, it feels extremely awkward and uncomfortable. And i think thats translating to making awkward movements in it and kicking up air currents etc.
Looks to wet for mould, take the lid off and replace it with a sterile dry new one.
They can definitely push past bacteria... even other fungi, yeast, etc.Is all bacteria a huge deal? I saw a dish that had a similar small amount of bacteria and when the myc reached it the spot completely disappeared. Looked like the myc had ate all of it.
