Does anyone have a recommendation for a good HEPA filter. Looking to make a 2'x2'. Lots of bad reviews on available Amazon 2'x2'x11.5" filters. Id be going the large box and small blower box type of large flow hood. 

Hello mushfam!
That steam generator episode was great! Thanks for that video. Those steam generators are getting sold out now. lol!
Has anyone tried these electric water softeners to pretreat the water before entering steam generator to protect element?

here is a link to example:
https://a.co/d/9kFHmKc
but if if link doesn't work or want to search it up on amazon instead or if having trust issues with links these days, it is listed as "iSpring ED2000 Whole House Water Descaler, Alternative Electronic Salt-Free Hard Water Conditioner, Reduces Limescale Prevent Deposits Build-up, Different from a Water Softener"...would this work as good as the inline water descaler product Eric mentioned?

I'm hoping to pipe in steam to a 300gal stock tank after it is as insulated as I can possibly make it to be and add supports put in on the bottom of tank to keep bags off from the bottom. Probably find a flat bottom heavy duty floor dolly to cart it around. I found one again on the all too convenient amazon website that is almost the entire length and width of the stock tank rated for 2,000lbs. Hopefully that is enough weight capacity to work.

Hello all, any recommendation for light in the fruiting room? I bought T8 6500K, but my insurance doesn't want me to put it in my fruiting room because its not seal perfectly. I try to seal it with silicone but they said no. 

I got one of these water flow controller for my pneumatic bagger and I've always wanted it to work better.  last week it broke, so I got a nicer flow meter valve for it, that turned out way worse and I ended up replacing the whole thing to get back to where I was but I'd love to know if there is a step up in quality.  I saw some shit that was like 1K but I'd prefer a couple hundred.

First of all mad props to the MycoWizards team!! 🤯  Y'all are crushing it and I'm so grateful to be a part of it.  I feel like you made the King Trumpet Video just for me and I haven't had a chance to watch it or much of the new stuff but tomorrow is the day!!  It's my day off and on full on Dad duty but I'll be streaming your content, working on my "Youtube University Mushroom pHD".

Enough smoke blowing... So, the main reason I reach out to everyone is, there's an auction locally that has this and there's no info about it.  The picture sucks, I know!!!

I can go look at the item in person on Thursday but does anyone know what this is (name, make, model)?  The size of the vessel?  What it runs on?  I guess just anything about it and if I should get it if it's a couple hundred... or couple grand or twenty five dollars?  IDK JK

YOOOOO Mycowizard Mad dogssss. Any chance of being able to add a download to app feature. Our farm is off-grid so have to subside on downloading content when we get access to the precious tinterweb. Living the mycological dream here in Snowdonia, North Wales. Thanks for such awesome mycowizardry, you are all excellent!

How bad did I mess up? I just bought 250 lb of these soy pellets. I never even thought to look at the tag. 🤦

It's not as alluring as cordyceps but stuff everyone needs...  I have two questions but I'll lump them together: 

1)Production bag labeling. 

I remember some Myers Video a few years ago with some code to translate letters into numbers of some shit using a pricing gun.  I also had a flashback of seeing SWmushrooms using thermal labels.  I found a bluetooth thermal label printer that does a variety of sizes for less than $80, seem like a winner?  Been sharpie-ing for years now and if I was still knocking everything myself I would have gotten this sooner!

2)Packaging retail mushrooms.

Once I had more then I could pint out, I realized people buy more at markets when it's not prepackaged. So, we sell everything in reuse-able (RPCs- I think) collapsible trays.  Pile it high, watch it fly!  Now that I'm hitting the cap with retail at market and slowly getting into more restaurants again since covid, I'm finding more retail opportunities that require packaging.  Curious what people like or dislike or what preforms well.  For the limited stuff I have been, it's been wrapping half pounds with plastic wrap in green produce cartons with a sticker and it's okay but...

Hey. What bag/ tray combination do you guys use for your cordyceps? Most importantly, what micron filter is it? Thanks.

STROMA? 

[Update: CO2 levels also increase from about 500 to 1300. Maybe that was a contributor? 

Is this stroma? Refer to the videos in this link please:

This is the first time this happened. I obviously let this spawn incubate for too long, as you can see from the mycelium growing up the walls of the bag, and the temperature went from constant 70F to 78 for at least probably a couple days towards the end. I only noticed this growth in 3 of 15 bags. What are the chances the others have it, but it is hidden? You're feedback will determine whether I will toss the rest of the lot or not. Thank you!
