1:05 Insane in the incubation... Al dente could mean perfect, but it translates as "to the tooth". As in its tender but not mushy to the tooth. On a side note, apparently tigers have such sensitive nerves in their fangs that they can actually feel when they've hit the jugular while taking down prey. Al dente indeed! Great episode guys, thanks for the insight:)

Hey Erik and Tyler! Glad I joined the burgeoning community of MycoWizardry... We were honored to have you at Underground Mushroom Co. in Beverly, Massachusetts last week and only wish we got a picture with the Wizard himself!

As you know, I'm a small scale block producer and I'd like to know more about simple things like how best to cut a block for fruiting each species. How much light/ventilation do I need in my incubation? Do i need to worry about my water supply before sterilization? Shit like that. You guy's are so knowledgable it's beyond me, I need to be beak fed the regurgitated wisdom you so unknowingly discard.

Erik, just before you left our shop you said "People tend to think they need to caramelize their substrate to be sterile." you told me I only need to get to 200 degrees F for approx 2 hours in my barrel steamer to get the job done. I don't think you realize how mind blowing that was! We were shooting for 10 hours because that's what everyone online was saying. I'm not near other growers which is a blessing and a curse so I don't get to talk shop other than over instagram etc.

Anyway, the subscription was easily covered by the electric savings you've bestowed on us! I'll keep watching, keep the content coming! Oh, and thanks so much for the samples:)

Sporadically yours,

Matty P.
