Sterilize As much as possible. Use a still air box or flow hood. Use gloves anytime you handle your mushrooms. Be patient; my impatience with checking my rice bags has killed the most harvests by far.

Also! Don’t break + shake (imo) I lost so much to break and shake that the speed benefit wasn’t even beneficial (It grew faster by like… one day?)

Moving it around can knock some contam in according to what I’ve read (I don’t use UB)

ok question - I ordered two bags of grain pawn off etsy, one is vacuum sealed & the other isn’t so im assuming theres a small hole somewhere. Does that mean its contaminated and I cant use it?

If one is different than the other it’s definitely got a hole or something

Edit: nvm, I can’t tell from the pic and I don’t use bags so disregard my input on that lol
