The pop corn does not need to be soaked like rye grain, the kernels are boiled until they are soft and can be bitten into, then it is strained and layed out to air dry for 30 minutes. The popcorn is then loaded into prepared jars or filter patch bags and sterilized at 15 psi for 2-2.5 hours.

2-4 ml of liquid culture is sufficient to establish an initiative phase of mycelium that can be shaken to speed up colonization.

The fully colonized spawn is then mixed with pasteurized straw or other substrate in buckets or other fruiting container.

After full colonization of the fruiting container, humidity and fresh air is introduced.

Honestly, I love that you're using very common subs, grains, and containers. Shows you don't need a fancy tent, just have to be clean and grow with care

Grain to grain transfer how long does it take for Mycelium to grow in popcorn grain? Great vids thanks 🙏

[HarmonyHollowApiary]

Is that about 3cc (ish) per quart jar for inoculation?

[FernandoMartinez-dnse]

Will the mushrooms poke through the tape? Or do we need to remove 2 wks later?
