Hey everyone, are there any videos that delve a bit deeper into Stroma? I occasionally encounter difficulties with these dense mycelium blobs, and I have no clue about their origin. 🙃 Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!"

Would anyone like to take a shot  as to what is causing this weird growth on my oyster spawn? I've gotten this kind of growth before and the spawn wasn't  contaminated ? Have you seen this before? (The darker brown looking dust  is the gypsum). Then second half pictures are from a different lot.

Yay I got up early enough to case these King Oysters 🤘☮️🤘. If I read Gregor says to case the Kings.....bam. Cased wicked hard .

I’ve never cultivated Lions mane, but one visitor to my farm asked me about the possibility of cultivating them on logs (wood logs, not the substrate ones hehe).

I know it would probably have the same pros a cons as shitake, but I’m really curious to know if anyone has ever seen or cultivated lions mane on logs!

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if you had any tips about placement of the CO2 meter (yes, I listened to your advice and got one finally!) I'm experimenting with different positions, so far chest level at the back of the greenhouse seems to work well but maybe you have some pro tips that could be useful!

Thanks for all the content, it's so dope.

I've wanted to do these since I first watched Let's Grow Mushrooms.  I might put it outside if stops raining someday

We have an FFU that was installed in a ceiling with its back exposed to an attic, where it was used for a couple years and then not used for 7 years. Is it salvageable?
I was thinking about changing the HEPA filter on it (in addition to changing the pre-filter of course), but it doesn't seem like the FFU is made to be taken not made to be taken apart easily.
What is y'alls' protocol for FFU maintenance and for changing or not the filters?
Do you ever perform a test of the HEPA for leaks?
As always, thanks a ton for the help!

edit: just saw that there is a deep dive on Lion's Mane. I'm stoked. I will watch and and then revisit my post.

Hey y'all, It's my first time making Lion's Mane grain spawn. With the traditional agar->grain->grain, does it generally grow significantly slower than other strains, like oyster and cinnamon cap.. Mine have been taking at least 14-16 days, whereas the others colonize a grain bag in around 10 days.. What is y'all's average colonization time for LM grain spawn bag? Do you recommend a specific grain/ sawdust configuration for getting it to colonize faster/ better? Does it do better on sawdust spawn maybe?
I appreciate any tips!

I'm super curious about growing Tremella. Just heard on the last episode that Erik tried growing it.. I would love any info on successes/!failures/ lessons learned and any indications.. also, probably the most important, anyone know where I can get a viable strain with a compatible that has been fruited? Since I couldn't yet  find anyone in the US growing yet, I'm thinking I gotta try the Chinese. 

 Erik Lomen mentioned it's association with a bacteria, which is new info to me.. also none of the material I read said anything about growing on pine so that was cool to hear.
