Can anyone give me any ideas for something that would sterilize my shroom substrate in canning jars, without having to go out and purchase a pressure cooker with the money i dont have.... its the only thing im missing. i have the spores and everything..
http://www.shroomery.org/5110/Sterilization-Pasteurization They have a couple things there about using a microwave or an oven. The oven has a better rating than the microwave but takes longer it says, and it could dry the growing medium. http://www.mycomasters.com/Advantages-FAQs.html This mentions that sterilization is not required if you use peroxide (I didn't read too much of it but check it out)
Yea i was just reading about the boiling and over techniques.. im considering just trying to steal a pressure cooker from somewhere...
It wouldnt be sterile if i boiled it for like 6 hours even? Also, i forgot how long you can store sporeprints at room temp, could someone please remind me?
Talk to inhale (seems to know a lot of info about shrooms); he started this thread (lots of info) Link
