The dedicated species based pheno flicks are solid gold, if you are able to do one in the same format for all the major species then you guys are really killing it and growing the community knowledge base exponentially. That sort of quality consistent info is not accessible any other place at the moment, please keep this up!

Thanks Eric for all the great info on shiitakes with the new episode and deep dive.  Anyone having much luck with shiitakes on masters mix, if so what strain? 

It sure would be easy for my production system and bagger.

I thought it was interesting the ultra pasteurizing not being enough and explaining the duds.  

I did some autoclave bran experiments yesterday but I didn't have much luck with that when I first started.  Seems like 20% bran is crazy... is that for midds? Trad talked about 1/2 cup per 5lb... generally speaking...

Is it weird to ask suppliers where their strains come from or are?  I have two from NS, and about 7 others that have come my way.  I worry they might all be 3790, which I have for sure and 3782 which I don't know if I have or not... or junk...

Eric, I'm definitely down for Shiitake this winter, or Bears Head or any good winter producers!

Does the community have a Discord?

My name is Marcos, maybe I’m the only Agaricus grower and brazilian here, but I think my experience might help someone. I’ve just watched blotch 2.0 episode and I want to share one solution I practice for about 2 years: PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate).

The principle is not to kill the bacteria, but to feed the mycelium with calcium (which in theory makes it more resistant, you can even feel the mushroom is more firm) and prevented the water on the mushroom surface to become acidic. From what I learned with other growers here in Brazil, the toxins produced by some bacteria do not “work well” on buffered solutions.

Today I apply 0,5g of PCC per liter of irrigation water. But 90% of the blotch control (for me) still is ventilation and humidity management…

Hey, hi, how are ya? I recently watched the episode on the Hart/Pola system and I'm super intrigued, but I'm having trouble tracking the whole thing down. 

Do I need to contact a rep? 

How much does the system run? 

Where does one purchase said system? 

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Hey everyone! I'm new to this group and happy to be here learning! I was watching the HART/POLA video and you mentioned a list and diagram for the whole setup. Where can we find that info?

Hey there, I see a lot of potential in using a bag like what you guys use for your grain spawn. I think the Cordyceps peeps could really get on a bag like that because of the bottom. There's some discussion on the FB pages and there's yet to be a Cordyceps Militaris bag created. Something with just a bit wider of a base/bottom would probably be really awesome. 

My question is -are the bags you guys use available to order online and then can the company be sweet talked into making some custom bags. ☮️

Hi I just joined the mycowizards culture club (such a great idea and deal) and stoked about it. I'm a huge fan on how you guys deliver the info in the deep dives. Keeps me interested lol. I'm just curious when you guys ship the culture and is there a way I can find out what culture I'm going to get?
