RE: Growing Bucket Mushrooms Part 2: Preparing the Buckets with Substrate and Spawn!

in Fungi Lovers • 3 years ago (edited)

It looks like the holes have a clear tape over them?

If too many of the buckets seem to get contaminated try filling the holes with wax or using a tape that blocks ultra-violet light. The tape is always going to be dodgy because of the adhesive's ability to collect contaminates before being fully applied.

Just an idea there if you run into trouble. 🤠

Edit:
P.S. To be clear I am basing that off of how logs are treated and have no experience with the bucket method.

    It's micropore tape. It was sealed beforehand, my hands were sterilised, as were my gloves and the bucket around the holes, and then the whole thing was wiped again with sterilisation fluid (80 percent ethanol) so if mould gets in I'll be upset!
