Everything MonoTub - Shaking Your Grain Spawn Jars During Colonization of Mycelium on Rye Substrate

First off, sorry its been so long since I've posted a new video. The last two weeks have been a little busy, and I'm also learning how to use my new video editing software, so that's really slowed things down.

Today's topic might seem simple, but shaking your grain spawn jars is actually something that can really benefit the overall project quite a bit. If we shake at the right point, it will result in faster colonization, which also means that unwanted spores and bacteria wont have as easy of a time finding their way into our spawn and creating a problem.

This is another video in our series about monotub cultivation of mushrooms, one of the easiest and most accessible methods for growing mushrooms at home. If you haven't already, I really recommend you go back and check out the earlier videos in this series, we've covered some pretty good info already.

Wow, I can see how much work and time goes into drawing your diagrams alone. Visual learning is the best way for me to grasp concepts of every kind and I appreciate what you do. As a result I remain fascinated and interested in mycology science. Very cool.

Don't rush the videos, keep the quality!
These have been clear and straight forward.
Love the hand drawn illustrations as well!

I massaged my spawn bag every second day. It colonised so much faster. I also used much less lc.

Love your videos man! One of the best out there at the moment... your style is a great balance of visual / informative.

Hey! Thank you so much for your videos! I save them after I watch because I rewatch quite a bit. You've been a great teacher. Namaste :)

Great video again! A video every three days sounds like A LOT of work. Keep focusing on your amazing quality more than quantity 👌👌

Impressive illustration. Thank you for taking the time to share this!

I always shake right after inoculation, again at 25% and one more time at 100%, not only does shaking it up speed up colonization but it also helps to expose any contamination that is hiding in there.

Update! update! update! every fail every win it helps all of us and we thank you 4 the time🍻

This is a great way to present the information. I like the visual approach, and very good quality. Thanks much man! 🍄👍

good call on throwing out the whole jar. im allergic to penicillin which makes growing mushrooms kinda sketchy but nothing a little caution can't fix..you never know what you guys might be allergic to. penicillin would kill me, meanwhile others would say its safe to open and clean.

wow! You got a haircut in the middle of a sentence. Also great stuff!!! Im a beginner and watching a lot of videos, and some just are more to the point than others. Thank you!

[christopherlee]

Excellent video. Really liked your insight and honesty on this video. Will definitely check out more. Thanks!

The moment I finish inoculation I start shaking that jar like hell! About a week or so later, my ENTIRE jar begins to get whiteish with colonization! The more vigorous and constant shake after inoculation the more uniform is the colonization.

Very very helpful for me to understand

[Califragistico]

Thanks man! You should collaborate with home mycology or some other! you deserve more views!

[codelicious]

Yoy really put alot of effort into your videos, Im subbing just for that. Thanks.

[tastieboot]

Great vid dude, gave me much insight into spawn jars :)

[cheeky_bones]

this is a lovely simulation, great videos dude! thanks!! keep it up

Can you do a video/test on substrate/grain layering vs fully mixing. It seems the results of layering is faster even if its against the logic used for grain jars.
