I have been experimenting with different strains of mushrooms spores. I have found that every different strain I tried, (8 in all) that the use of Rye Flour instead of Brown rice flour is much much much better. The jars colonized almost twice as fast and much better then with the BRF. I got my Rye jars to fully colonize in under 14 days, the brown rice flour was almost 25 days. Same temp same incubator. I will let you all know how the harvesting goes with the Rye, if you care.

Rye works good try throwing a piece of "cake" from a colonized jar into a jar with sterilized rye grain it will grow on whole rye grain too

where can i get rye flour then?

Right now I have 8 jars of the following species going. It was just an experiament of mine to see which was the best producing of the 8. Four of each are in Brown rice flour and 4 in Rye flower. strains are as followed: B+, Gulf Coast, Amazon, A Stain, Pink buffalo, south american, Z stain and lipa yai. So far the gulf coast seems to be fastest growing stain I have. None of the Brown rice flour jars have produced anything yet. All stains exept for Pink buffalo have either started to pin or produce mushrooms on the rye flour. Only 3 jars in total became contaminated with pennicilian mold, 2 were brown rice flour, one of them was rye. And all of them were of the Lipa Yai stain. I'll keep posting, maybe some pics
