I like doing both at the same time even with a little wood or media as a buffer. I was doing millet and they were out so now sorghum at 60% oat and 40% small grain. The smaller the grain is better for Noc-in but easier to fuck up. Oats buffer as well and hold more water without popping plus usually cheaper.

I know it’s blasphemy but I use to cook grains and it went okay but varied between who was doing it, hard to be precise with MC and the time of year bc it was outside I guess.  recently I’ve been dry bagging but where I had failed in the past, now I let it sit for 5-24 hours (depending on the day/week) and stir it once or twice and it seems to be going perfectly. Nailing down the exact MC I needed took a few and getting a legit auto also changed the game for me. 

I actually wanted to write this same post. I did call them bc I got a big ass autoclave. Haven’t gotten it up yet but they said ideally you have 3-4 I think and use in tandem. Do you think they are load but I can’t remember who I heard that from

I’m ready for some bag maitake production!!! Maitake culture of the month pretty please!

My spring crop failed for all kinds of reasons not starting masters early enough, our flow meter was off(bc of our water or piece of shit) and probably bc my cultures sucks. 

Also do the admin have any info for us on this new reishi we got? Not sure what the GMCNS stands for even tho I feel like I should. Damn dyslexia!

Can you hook them up to a PID controller and do you still need to hot wire it. Is the hot wiring procedure covered in the video. I can’t remember…

I’ve noticed the browning really heavy and universal on the second flush. I actually started cutting a few inches off each side of the straight seal at the top but leaving the top connected like a tent. This is giving me more like commercially grown bottle/grocery store enoki. I’m not sure what your humidity and co2 is but mine weren’t getting very long and having big caps before this. I love the strain tho compared to all the ones I’ve bought. Big thanks mycowizards and MC+S!

David Medlock do you just make one X at the top? Do you think a full shade tent would work well no humidifier 

Is that a book on processing mushrooms? I guess I need to find that…  freeze drier would be dope!  I’m trying to work on building my value added lines and online sales bc there ain’t no major metro areas around, and yall got spawn and blocks on lock! 

So I’m not sure if I’m following the hockey puck thing, probably bc I don’t live near Canada haha. 

But y’all don’t think it’s inbreeding to keep feeding the same jar? My tests seem okay so far but when I first started I’d also make 3-4 generations off purchased production spawn. Good times!

Where are you getting your testing done?

Where did you get the culture from/ want to sell some…?

Know anything about potency testing for Cordyceps or any medicinal!?
