Growing mushrooms is very satisfying. I'm about a month into my journey. It all started by being blessed with some fresh fungi n I made my first spore prints. Now I've just inoculated my first agar dishes! With a little more confidence I hope to be documenting and creating content to add to the interwebs, ty for the inspiration sensei!!
Yo i had no idea this channel is less than 6 months old......dude holy shit, i thought this was maybe a channel built up over 2 years maybe, by far the best mushroom channel on yt, ur amazing keep it up teach!
For sure! I almost gave up after two failed attempts putting MSS straight to grain. So glad I gave agar a try. Will be using agar every time from now on.
Man, I love what you're doing with educating everyone and helping people find a new hobby! I'm glad I found your channel back when you only had 3 episodes out. Mush love homie 💙
Spawned my agar to grain 9 days ago and they're colonizing FAST! Was already about 25% at day 7 so I gave them a very good shake and now a couple days after the shake I have mycelium growing from all over the grains. I didn't even do any transfers, but I did have lots of rhyzomorphic growth straight from the start. Went from MSS to agar. And I had almost gave up after two failed attempts at putting MSS straight to grain. Agar is the way to go! I have more on the way and will be doing transfers next, can't wait. I'm hooked on this hobby now!! Thank you so much for your videos! If it wasn't for you, home mycology and willymyco I wouldn't have given this hobby a try! Yall three are my top three channels for mycology info!
So you unscrew the jars a tad & leave them; with temperature controlled space? Thanks, this will be my first attempt and I’m stuck with Temperature issues. Small space & on a budget 🙃…. Any possible ideas or suggestions for Temperature ? A small space heater 🤔😅🍄🩷🙏🏻
@@remingtonfrog3170 I use modified jar lids with the little stick on filters. Or just drill the hole about the size of a pencil and use two layer of micropore tape. As far as temperature low to mid 70’s. I use a cabinet in my kitchen next to the refrigerator. The fridge puts off a little heat and the back of that cabinet is a wall and on the other side of the wall is my garage. So I get heat from there also. Usually right at 75F there.
agar to grain was my fav method back in the day :) . But I had a good hermetically sealed glovebox. I would drop one chunk per jar. I found that worked faster than spores anyway.
Did this today for the first time. Pleurotus pulmonarius that I cloned to agar from a wild specimen I foraged, six perfectly clean cultures (even smelling wonderfully mushroomy) into three jars of popcorn. I'm so excited. Thank you for opening up this endeavor to me through your knowledge and efforts.
Best channel on getting started on Shrooms.They have changed my life and after a car wreck Severe Brain trauma My Life was a Mess.I wasn't into doing mushrooms but with all the nerve damage and Meds the docs had Me on was Crazy.Not helping at all.

Your advice has helped me a lot, especially on fruiting conditions, got 60g dried out of a 1200 cc tub in 4 flushes. When I move to a new place ill start doing agar, thanks to your videos. You are a great teacher and I cannot wait for more videos!
PGT!!! Needed this vid for my first APE adventure I’m about to endeavor on. Perfect timing. Keep posting man your channel is the best out there and your knowledge is invaluable. Mush love!
I just watched all your videos and they are awesome. Super informative and very soothing. Top notch! Really interested in learning about liquid cultures too so hopefully will see a video in the future from you!
If you don't have a pressure cooker yet, or just want to get a fast start with pre sterilized grains. I used the 5 grain jars from midwestgrowkits and am having awesome results. Looks like a wild bird seed mix but doesn't have sunflower seeds or corn in it and it does have some rye grains in it.
I would imagine any nice whole grain that isn’t too small (like quinoa).The pre sterilized bags I got off of north spore just to get going for the first time was millet I believe and it’s been working good so far.
I've learned more from your videos than most all of the others combined. Love the way you explain things and make it super simple to follow!! Thank you for what you do, keep them coming.
I am new to learning how to grow Mushrooms. I have watched many videos on this on UA-cam, all been amazing, until yours popped up. The way you explain everything in each of your videos, I find sO easy to understand. I have learnt so much in such a short time. Your videos are brilliant. Thank you for sharing your work and knowledge. P.S I have subscribed to your channel.
YO PGT .... *please* do a SAB tek. do's and dont's etc. I'm getting way too much contams on agar. gotta be doing something wrong here. my SAB is quite small as well. very frustrating
At 1:40 when you said the amount you put will influence the amount of time it takes for the agar to be fully colonized. If I put more agar in the cup will I have a shorter or longer colonization time???
Everytime I watch one of your videos I always have something new to learn or take from it , and is ways explained in a manor I feel must can understand or learn from. Great video once again 👏
Thank you for all of the knowledge you share! 1st time I went with brf cakes and have been regretting it ever sense i saw your video on bods unmodified shoebox. I just knocked up 5 jars last night using broke boi tek. This process seems much better imo. Much love PGT! Canr wait for the next video!
I just got my hands on a spore print and instantly found your channel. Have been passively looking for spores for a year or so, and now there's your video series. If this isn't cosmic alignment idk what is. Thank you for your work! A question: when working with prints, would simply using a burner to work underneath (instead of still air box) be sufficient? I fear it's only useful in Lab conditions, where inherent pollution is very low from the start, compared to the multiverse of things circulating around in my room. Thanks again, and peace with you!
so my question for you is, can't you just do a spore syringe to one of your agar cups? that way instead of using a full cc of liquid in a jar you can just maybe put a few drops into an agar cup and use that to colonize a quart jar?
would one drop of liquid be enough to colonize a whole agar cup? or will i need to transfer to another agar dish to fully colonize. If one drop fully colonizes the top of the agar than id only need one drop of solution per quart jar. any info is great thanks.
Thanks a lot for your dedication, your passion and all your Mycology clases PGT ! I'm honored to learn all this knowledge from you and sponsored by amazing people! 🙏✨🍄
I’m struggling to get anything from agar to grain transfer,I’m getting pretty decent agar plates forming,but after i transfer to the grain,wether it be corn or UB tek,I’m not seeing any good results apart from wasting the grain 😢
For A2G, do the jars need a filter or no? I see no filter on the lids. I’d like to start agar process with jars, would be nice if I could skip making a filter for the lids. Thank you
Hey buddy i just grew my first golden teather using your awsome Skills they turned off very nice but i think that i have some potency problems my friend took 1.5gram and had a mild effect when i was younger 1.5gram of mexican blew my soks off what am i doing wrong is it the way i try them or just normal for this strain hope you can help me by the way love your Channel bedst regards Joe 🙏🙏🙏
Ok im gonna ask a stupid question. After i put the agar in the grain jar does it need to be placed in a dark place or just regular light from a room or window ?
Is anyone else having a issue with mycelium not growing away from the agar and down into the gains? It either dies on the agar slices or clusters only on the agar with minimal growth into the actual grain 🤔
Hey sensei I love the videos. I was wondering if you would ever consider making videos on how to make and sterilize agar and how to use a teK WITH a pressure cooker. Keep it up brotha
Very educational and well made video. You unscrew the lids of the containers to exchange air. As the containers are not in front of a flew hood, are you not afraid of contamination? This is only a storage for the containers in room temperature?
Did you leave the lid slightly loose during the first bit of the inoculation? I'm confused why you said you tightened the jar lid before you shook up the grown mycelium. 5:01
Thanks you for this clear information. May I ask, your lids do not have any vents, is this not necessary, and do the lids need to be tight or loose please.
Does agar have enough nutrients to fruit anything? I'm thinking of just throwing rice into the substrate as it cures. And then just mixing all that with the agar.
Are you inoculating your agar wedges in front of a flow hood? I’m going to use a hepa filtered iphone work station for to minimize contamination. I’m growing Lions mane for personal use. It’s helped my cognition dramatically. It took a while to work but I’m eager to grow more. Thank you for your videos, teaching time and generosity.

What do you do with the bird seed is it just raw from the bag or are they soaked or what ?

I'm days from taking the first leap and getting my feet wet. I have most of the supplies, trying to decide what grain to use...
I'm excited for you, I made that leap too now just getting ready to put my colonised jars to bulk sub, 😁

I'm trying different grains. I got corn, wheat, sorghum and millet. Apparently rye is the best but they didn't have that in the animal food store.
@@niklashultkrantz7766 Actually millet is best. Smaller, more inoculation points.

This looks so much cleaner and easier than making syringe needles thanks b
Why choose inoculated agar over straight spores?
The 7 day growth shown at 4:53 is why you'd use inoculated agar. Growth from spores will be A LOT slower.
Faster
Does loosening up the lid for gass exchange cause a risk for contaminatoin? Love your videos. Very to the point information
contam isn't good at turning corners
How do you get air exchange for the jars?

I have these same jars and lids. No hole needed? I only need to leave lids loose?
So you do you PC you grain with the lids on and tighten them and after adding agar, you don’t have to worry about any breather holes?
Very good tutorials. Thanks.
Where did the agar chunks go when u shook that jar a week later? Did see any agar chunks in that jar. Maybe i Missed it
Don't understand if I will need to purchase more cups to continue growing these and also what to do with the final product? Cheers! kc
The hot scalpel doesn’t damage the mycelium?? Can you cool it down on a paper towel with rubbing alcohol on it?
Yo, where you get that grate on bottom of still air box? Thank you..
Did you leave the lid slightly loose during the first bit of the inoculation? I'm confused why you said you tightened the jar lid before you shook up the grown mycelium. 5:01
nevermind you answered it in the vid
Can I use bags instead of jars. I tend to buy mine pre made. How about using uncles Ben’s with agar
Thanks you for this clear information. May I ask, your lids do not have any vents, is this not necessary, and do the lids need to be tight or loose please.
Can I try transferring agar to the large tub? Why do we need to transfer agar to small grain jars first?
What is the blue base that the mycelium is on inside of the small cups?
Very good! A Doubt, I could not see the hole in the cover for air exchange, isn’t it necessary? thanks!
What kind of flame torch was that that doesn't leave behind soot?
What happens if you take out the mycelium from the grain to bulk early?
what is the best way to store your inoculated dishes in the fridge ??
Can you clean and sterilise and reuse those agar cups
It didn't look like you cooled the blade. Did you? If so, how and where?
I just got my first agar plate. Everything done in my clean air box.. any tricks?
Does agar have enough nutrients to fruit anything? I'm thinking of just throwing rice into the substrate as it cures. And then just mixing all that with the agar.
What happens if your grain is fully colonised but you keep it untouched for two months for some weird reason? Does the mys die ?
You are a blessing
