Never fails 😂. Introduction to the topic. Drawn out intro song and animation. Self promotion...a drawn out one. Introduction to the topic again. Pushing 4 minutes and the video starts. I LOVE his content, but his intros give me anxiety....I have shit to do bro! 😂 Also, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT!
@90 Second Mycology true. I am sincere glad people like him exist. And you too. LOVE your videos. Definitely more my style. No flash, no drawn out explanations.......very well done. Short videos are just easier to absorb the information. You do it well. Plus I still subscribe to his videos too......just watch them 2x speed 😂.
This is exactly what drew me into Mr. Myco and his Methodology. Aside from the final product, his advice based on true lived experience will get any aspiring mycologist into the blue. Yeah, he got dialect. Yeah, he got home brew. But guess what? After years of being himself on teh interwebz, WE get to cultivate cubensis! Give Willy his due. He certainly has given it to us. Mush Hugs, Willy!
Kudos! I also adopted his screen tek for a couple months. Lately I've been getting black specks(contam) in my bags while colonization. I was wondering if it's because of hulls and old grains stuck in the screen crevices from previous dries. Have you had this problem?
I just made 400 kilos do it every week, You should take them when the grains just start to split. These are a little raw still need a little more cooking. Gypsum is for shiitake you may get better results from using 50% gypsum and 50% calcium carbonate, you may get even better results using just calcium carbonate and no gypsum. You need to try a little with all your strains, for example, Pleurotus hates gypsum, etc.
Theres several ways. Moisture in the grain is key too.. my 1st time i had cracked corn in my wild bird seed, makes a starchy clump... luckily it still worked. Not ideal tho. Ive done brf vermiculite. Wbd bird seed. Never rye yet. Looking forwarrd to it. You can use pop corn and more too.
Thanks to you my journey in mycology has been far less arduous with your expertise. Many thanks in love and light brother!😁 Keep up the outstanding work!

Quick question if anyone can give me some pointers here. Do the grains HAVE to be sterilized right after boiling? Would it be possible to boil the grains and then stetilize them the following evening?
If you want to save water, save the dirty rye berry water and use it for bucket tek. Cultivation uses a ton of natural resources. We all need to find ways to reduce this footprint. MUSH LOVE❤
Man I'm so very grateful for this and all your great content. Q. I'd love to hear any comments you have about why it's important to soak the grains first, instead of going directly to a shorter time on the stove? The overnight soak adds a bunch of time, and I have had some decent results eliminating that step. Love and learn ✌️
The overnight soak allows yeasts, fungi, mold, and bacterial spores to begin their life cycle meaning they go into the pressure cooker exactly when all your inocculant’s future competitors are at their most vulnerable. It also helps avoid burst grains.
@@stephenhooper5704 it doesn't lol, the whole point of the pc is the sterilise everything. Nothing survives so doing that over night step is useless in fact. Been growing turkey tail, lions mane for over 20 years
hey what was the room temp when you where drying your grains? if your in the P.N.W. and especially if your above sea-level they will dry at completely different rates, but really if you include your preferred room temp that could drastically help some that may not know better.
Its really and truly a learn as you go kind of thing. The best "tips and insider tricks" come from personal trial and error, my first time ever growing mushrooms not knowing anything i harvested 4 ounces dry from two flushes of purple mystics. If I had known to soak the block I could have got way more and for me personally pinning conditions were very confusing but after one grow i know exactly how to create a sick ass pinset and what cause pins to form. Get out there and do it, if your even slightly intelligent it will come so fast.
Honestly you weren't missing out on much, the last couple flushes are much weaker potency wise than the first 2. Those flushes would most likely disappoint you or those yours sharing with. But sometimes they can still be decent
Hi, I found a substrate recipe! What do you think: Rye grain, bird seed mix (including flax seed), brown rice flour, a few spoons of vermiculite. Would this work? I think it's good food for the hungry mycelium. Please give me your opinions, thanks in advance
Check your local food co op. Or health foods style grocery store. Check the bins with different seeds and grains. I found rye berrys for .99c /lb at my co op.
It takes 30 seconds if u put a box fan under screen. Also i use a window screen with a notch cut out so you can fold one end of screen to pour grain into bucket.
Willy, I'm following this vid for my first go, gonna be growing PE and GT, on the sterilization step can I use a vacuum sealer to get the air out and seal the bags? And should that be before or after pressure cooking?
Hey Willy, thanks for all the great knowledge. One question, did you have the rest of the grains on other screens off camera? If yes then my question is answered. If no, does that affect the end goal of perfect grains?
I didn't see any mention of pressure cooking the grains to sterilize before inoculation. Did I miss something? And the grains that your Amazon link redirect to are far from $30. They are now about $50.

Willy what about buying grain bags that are already sterilized but have been sitting on a shelf my local hydroponic store sells grain bags but who knows how old they are because there not labeled do you recommend buying from them?
I stopped the video @4:09 and I ordered the same rye berry's for 22$ 25lb and the damn package said it was 5 stops away, and I checked it later and it said it went back to the carrier for some issue wtf!?!? I'm so pissed
Tried this technique. Didn't work. Took forever to dry despite building myself the same drying rack / sieve: the bottom layer of grains towards middle of the rack were still soaking wet even after 30 minutes. Perhaps it was because the rack was in the bathroom on the tub and there is less circulation in there? I turned the fan on for the last 10min. stretch, and tben after 30min. I transferred the grains on the rack to a colander because they wouldnt dry. Took over 50min. of drying to pass the tissue test. And that was only half my grains (3 jars' worth on the rack, and 3 jars' worth in the colander, drying at the same time). The half I had drying in the colander on my kitchen counter passed the tissue test after drying for about 40min. Idk how he's getting "perfectly dried grain" after drying for only 30 minutes. AND I had a BUNCH of burst berries! I didn't do anything different except for not using gypsum (I opened the bag I bought and saw it was the wrong kind of gypsum, so I had to go without it for my first batch of grains) -- but aside from not using gypsum, I followed the instructions *exactly.* And still, drying took forever and I got a ton of burst berries anyway. And that's with a whole lot of babying the grains and constantly running up and down the stairs to mix and spread the grains for drying... Anyway, this tek didn't work for me. It is FAR too involved for working so poorly for me, so I'll be finding another technique to prepare my rye berries -- one that's less involved and requires substantially less babysitting. Works out for me anyway, because as helpful as this guy is, and as thorough as he is, I find his videos extremely hard to watch and actually rather irritating. I try to get over it for the information, but damn, he's long-winded, repetitive, and says "as you can see" so much I want to scream. I do appreciate the help and the thoroughly informative quality of his videos, I really do... but it's still like nails on a chalboard for me. Kneejerk cringe. Off to find another method.
Use a tablespoon of black solder fly insect frass make a tea 24 hr before you soak your grain! The mycelium likes the frass! I use it in agar and Liquid culture! Do not boil! Use hot water from tap! Boiling will cause burst grains!
Willy I need a place to buy everything ready. All I want to do is eat my shrooms and live life...trip team........ I don't have time to buy and wait for everything to come
I really appreciate how detailed you are in your instructions.
Shoutout to the Trip Team Family! Thank you Willy for sharing your knowledge with us!
Had me thinking about Arvin with all the “As you can see”, mush love brother
I miss Arvin. He is so humble.

...back here after a few years to relearn. Willy is the one stop shop for info. GOAT.
Luv the sight keep up the good info you've help a ton!!!
Thank you willy. A lot of this info just isn't on forums. You're doing gods work! I've been using a window screen for over a year lmaoo
Kudos! I also adopted his screen tek for a couple months. Lately I've been getting black specks(contam) in my bags while colonization. I was wondering if it's because of hulls and old grains stuck in the screen crevices from previous dries. Have you had this problem?
You need to clean and replace the screen from time to time yes. Always through full clean up after each run
Love these vids! Your have helped me so much through my journey. Mush love 🍄 trip team family.
Fact. Willy is the golden teacher. Thank you sir
Awesome video! I'm soaking rye berries, using this method for my first ever grain spawn inoculation. This helped a bunch
How did it go?
I just made 400 kilos do it every week, You should take them when the grains just start to split. These are a little raw still need a little more cooking. Gypsum is for shiitake you may get better results from using 50% gypsum and 50% calcium carbonate, you may get even better results using just calcium carbonate and no gypsum. You need to try a little with all your strains, for example, Pleurotus hates gypsum, etc.
Agreed. I actually do a 12 hour soak and a soft boil for 8-9 minutes with rye
I haven't heard of using calcium for this. I have a bunch of it and was going to try this. Do you know of this is good for Lions main?
Big pro tip get a brew bag for the bucket! Great for cleaning grain and straining after cook
This is by far the best method I've ever seen.... thank you
I grow grommet mushrooms and I have learned a ton from this channel.
Trip Team Family! Always great videos. Loved the last traveling and foraging video.
This has changed the game for me thank you Willy! Joining the Patreon tonight, wholeness and vibrations!
This was a great video, 100% success from this video...Thank you
Every video is nonstop knowledge. Thank you . Trip team family 🤯
Woo! Missed the updates! Yayyy new new! I can't wait to hear about the mushroom bowl in Cali, too cooool
What a legend! Thanks AGAIN!!! much love from RSA
Lmao i just used my window screen instead of making my own drying rack thing like you have. Works well, after its cleaned of course 😂

I've tried this and they got funky within 24 hrs. I could smell it after pressure cooking. Fermented em. Threw 7 qts out 😢

Thanks Trip team Family!
I built 6 racks using this vid info... going great so far :)
Newbie here --- now trip team family for sure
Thanks again for all the help
Perfect every single time as u said. Thanks
We thank you Willy! You keep me motivated and always looking to try new things and push my comfort level. Trip Team Family
I really appreciate your tips man, thanks.
putting the heat on high doesn’t burn the grains on the bottom? I didn’t see you stir at all. Thanks Willy
Thanks for the great content bud. I don't do Instagram, but want to let you know you are appreciated.

So when they soak you can just use cold water from the tap ?
Can we have an oat video?
Yeah I noticed Willy doesn't really mention Oats for some reason... I wonder why...
How long can you leave un-inoculated, sterilized grain spawn in a bag? Can you do that?
Yes my question as well
Its really and truly a learn as you go kind of thing. The best "tips and insider tricks" come from personal trial and error, my first time ever growing mushrooms not knowing anything i harvested 4 ounces dry from two flushes of purple mystics.

I also cant stress enough, STERILIZE STERILIZE STERILIZE. ISOPROPYL Alcohol is your best friend. Be liberal af with it as well.
Honestly you weren't missing out on much, the last couple flushes are much weaker potency wise than the first 2. Those flushes would most likely disappoint you or those yours sharing with. But sometimes they can still be decent
Hi, I found a substrate recipe! What do you think: Rye grain, bird seed mix (including flax seed), brown rice flour, a few spoons of vermiculite. Would this work? I think it's good food for the hungry mycelium. Please give me your opinions, thanks in advance
Life saver
😵💫Tripteamfamilly😵
:) I deal with the same milling company and left them a note saying they are the best bang for the buck when it comes to grain spawn.
Trip Team Family in the place to be!
TripTeam Family. Thanks for the info my guy!
Now I can't stop saying "do" like you do
1 Wash is fine....just thoroughly rinse
No matter how many times I try to make grainspawn, my LC or wedges simply will not colonize.
yup , no notification and hidden in the algoure rythem ......Thanks Willy , Great Video , as per sa ,....
Willy when you heat the water, is it the same water you soaked them in or new water? Love the channel
Check your local food co op. Or health foods style grocery store. Check the bins with different seeds and grains. I found rye berrys for .99c /lb at my co op.

#trip team family!
Anyone mix in some coffee before it soaks overnight?
Mush love Trip Team Family 🍄❤🍄
Grains came out dry, to where mycelium stalled. Can we add more moisture somehow to save the batch
Have you tried adding a 2% Karo syrup to your grains? While their in the water
You could add light corn syrup to do the same thing right? Good tip
I use pre cleaned oats so I can skip that step. I can get a 50 pound bag at the farm store for $20.

Can you store sterylized grain in a fridge for later? If yes for how long?

Does that pellet hi-yeild gypsum from the feed store ok? Or is it to concentrated and I might add more than needed?
That's a good question and did you get the answer by the way
@@riverside321 Nope 🤷♂
the unicorn bags are oxo-degradeable not bio degradable. it fragments into micro plastic rather than breaking down molecularly.

What's up Willy? Counting on your videos for my first grow. School me brother.
Im a newbie, question; is it ok to soak corn overnight?and what about brown rice. The same amount of soaking time?
