Spawn-Tek Mushroom 3 lbs Milo/Sorghum Grain Bag

No contamination from these guys

I just I have cultivated grain bags probably 200 times in my career this bag. I don’t know what is going on with it but it did absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing it didn’t even change it in anyway shape or form. It just looks wet usually by now half my bag is cultivated. It has been over a month and still not even a sign and now it is smelling like, it’s rotten I don’t know what y’all putting in these bags but it is not what it should be so not only did y’all waste my money buying your product but you also cost me $100 because you wasted my rare spore so thanks a lot

Bought two bags and my bags colonized in a couple weeks and am having some awesome flushes.

Colonization time is faster with this

I shot ~3ml of liquid culture in the bag 7 days ago and its already colonized the space of about a golf ball.I'm fairly new and have only used all in one bags previously, but what I'm seeing so far is colonization twice as fast as the all in one's. This is different grain than what has come in my other bags and it also has a lot more moisture. I'm not sure which is making such a major difference, maybe both.

Edited to add: I revived my replacement bag and closely inspected it to find it appeared intact so I changed the rating from 1 star to 3.Unfortunately, my first bag arrived adulterated most likely due to a tear in the plastic square that is around/behind the injection port. The tear was a straight line about an inch long along the top line perimeter of the square. It was not however on the same side where the tape secured the box closed. I did double check in case it was my own error opening the tape with scissors. After first opening the product box, the bag was partially colonized with an unknown contaminant.Also, FYI - these bags need to be refrigerated after you receive them if not using right away. I hope they’ll add that detail on the listing info. It wouldn’t have saved my bag though considering the bag was defective with the tear. Glad I was able to see the colonization before I attempted to inoculate. Always inspect your bags thoroughly!

I’ve been trying to grow mushrooms for about a year. I’ve tried rye grain, equine substrate, and spores from various sources with little luck. The spores took forever (months) to even start to colonize. Why not try sorghum? Using the same batch of spores I’d had no success with earlier, I was elated to see them start to colonize within a week. At one month they were 100% colonized! Sorry, I was so excited I forgot to take a picture. I just now mixed them in the monotub with the Cow Coco and have high hopes!

The bag is overly wet; the mycelium initially started growing in the drier spots but then stalled completely. It’s now been more than two months since inoculation, and there’s still no sign of further growth
