If you’re into Cordyceps I just made this video because I couldn’t affordably source brown rice so trialed different Organic grains but it’s just part 1 because editing and doing video work while running farm with a toddler is impossible. I also setup a DIY cool bot for temperature control and year round production!

Calciums role as a supplement in higher fungi...all these are worth reading.

tyvek suits

Hey do y’all reuse and wash your tyvek suits for lab work? If so any special sanitizer or bleach? They say single use but I’m thinking I can wash them? 

Scoop out 10 jars of Oats into the pot wanting like at least 10lbs of grains cooked. A jar is almost 1lb dry every time. 12 hr Soak&simmer in good water w/gypsum.  Ended with (16lb soaked & simmered+ dried all day and bagged Grains).  

-3 four pound bags and 2 two lb bags. Incredible Math that I'd never know how to consider but that's pretty damn perfect 62% grain hydration right there. 

10 = 16 - 62% = 6.08 = the H2O

Who's using the black bags?  Do you like them? Wondering if the magically increased yields are happening with Chesnuts also. They are pricey for sure.  Found 100 for $60 but just wondering other's thoughts/experiences 

🤘

Tuesday Frigging Night 🤘☮️🤘. Got some agar, got some Liquid mediums and I'm cooking French fries at 420°.  This is a good day and I can't wait to take pictures of the cool shit this is all for. Hope everyone is doing well, fully stocked with Green bud and happy for this summer.  I am. 

Hello everyone! 🍄
I’ve just finalized design for a new mushroom cultivation space and would love to hear your thoughts. The main idea is to use the attic as a plenum to distribute air via ducts to other parts of the space (incubation, fruiting, etc.).

📌 I’m curious about:

1. Is this system efficient for even air distribution?

2. Is using the attic as a plenum the optimal solution, or is there a better alternative?

3. Do you have advice for improving ventilation/structure?

PS. Im not good at drawing 🤣

Been a while and I probably need to catch up on the threads.  I was wondering if y’all had any background info on the JC shiitake we got recently? Media it likes, moisture content, where it came from or strong suits…?? We’ve been calling it the Jesus strain and nobody fucks with the Jesus! 

Also any chance we could get y’all’s Maitake and Black king oyster in the culture club soon?!  I’ve tried a number of maitake strains and I think all Of mine suck. I even stole one from earthfare haha. I’ve tried them in bag fruiting like your over production drying video both in A and horizontal filters with nothing like what y’all got!  Great video!!!!!

My BKs are cut and BS as well. Y’all cultures knock the shit I have out of the park! 

The water treatment was due for me.  Chesnuts seem to do well no matter what.  Upon cleaning my huge tub of water I noticed the UV light stopped working.  Not sure when. Cleaned all parts pretty well and bought 25 gallons of distilled h2o looking like the crazy dude at market basket.  Should be good for this month until I get a water treatment filter apparatus. Rocking well water and oysters seem to not like it whatsoever
