Not the method used in Canndo instructions. I bought 12 jars for about $14. Hole in lid, filter tape, would have to buy or figure out how to do. Same risk as when I inoculated, clean room, clean everything and I shall see how it goes.

To each their own buddy, it's just an unnecessary step that poses a risk for contam

The point is to work with the environment and contamination.
Not against it. This is "easiest " method. No drilling, no chambers, no birthing.
The mycelium needs very little oxygen and it grows better in high co2. A hole changes that dynamic.
The picture the poster shows is perfect. He can open the jar if he wishes, spores will not germinate on that corn before it is encompassed by mycelium. So long as each kernel is at least slightly covered.

The point is to keep the co2 high. They don't need oxygen yet. Another few days.
If you open the jar and then subsequently shake it again you risk resetting things so the mycelium and contamination are now starting at the same time. This is a race, you want the mushroom to win.

Just above freezing.
What’s the difference in buying spores and syringes? Looking on a website premium spores and it shows spores but description shows syringe? Real confused. I was about to purchase this all in one bag and didn’t want to waste my money on these bags if I’m buying the wrong stuff.
thanks for the help!

The syringe has spores in it ready for injection. Spores can also be found as prints, and swabs. Each gets used slightly differently to achieve the end result of colonizing grain to grow mushrooms.
A premade syringe is a simple way for a beginner to inoculate some jars and begin their myco-venture.
I strongly suggest doing lots of reading and research. There are a couple myco specific forums like theshroomery and mycotopia that off tons of info about growing your own.
I watched a video on YouTube that got a lot of good reviews. It’s a all in one bag with self sealing chamber. Looks super easy just needed the spores/syringes. Got some golden teacher and a Ecuador one?? Lol I was thinking the spores were not in a syringe already which would blow the whole sealed all in one bag out of the water... after reading a little further it shows 3x concentrate syringe so I think I’m in the good.
thanks for the help and websites. July 4th ought to be a whole lot cooler this year!

Do more reading and then watch more videos. Read this thread from the beginning as well. The more you understand the process the better luck you will have.

I probably did just that, I think inoculation was clean and successful. My problem was I had a schedule in my head, instead of observing and learning. So I cased six, threw out four due to water in bottom of jars and corn losing white. Exposed other six to air but I let them get better encased but seem to be competing with some fuzzy white mold? They seem to be growing into the casing.

Fuzzy white mold? I think thats what you want.
And your mycelium will grow into the casing, that is the point.
Jars look good to me.
In your opinion are the “all in one bags” good? Seemed to show a fairly easy process.
I can grow bud but have never grown shrooms. Always been lucky enough growing up to be close to fields. Lol

Sorry I hate to be the newbie here but I wanna start growing my own shrooms. So @canndo after placing the baggie on top of the jar it says to put it in a box do you just mean any box? Or like a sealed plastic tub?And it says to spray them(the jars) with water after this step do you mean the medium or the shrooms themselves?
