Tyler Thanks so much for the update, it brings up a solid point a lot of farms have a hard time getting ahead on and that getting paid! We have been screwed time and time again over the years by farms we will ship blocks or spawn to that will never pay. Some of them are big "names" in the game, but never the less, shitheads at paying. So its a great warning to heed...hopefully you were able to collect?! Extraction stuff is radical! Have you looked into Ultrasonic over Soxhlet? Ill try and dig up a study on the benefits and post it up! Keep slaying the books amigo, Got Nature Of Drugs 1 and 2 if you ever want to borrow them...long live Shulgin!

What's the update good homie? Sorry I missed this one! Share how your experience has been so far going full Ham in Chestnut-Land!

It is perpetually in the works but we are so glad to hear you are psyched on it!

That was Rad!

Thank Tony! In the incubation space our temps are 66F and humidity does fluctuate but that doesn't make much of a difference for varieties fruited inside of an XLS-A patched bag because of the air exchange restriction. Gas exchange is one thing but you cannot get forced air out of an A patch bag that's sealed well. Lighting is something that really helps with robust invitro yeilds. Specifically in the case of Reishi, Lions Mane and Maitake...If you can see well so can they, I say. Our incubation spaces in general run in the range of 1500-2500PPM wise, this is important to consider for many reasons but mostly due to temp increasing with PPMs and autofruiting increasing with lower PPMs.

It depends on a number of factors such as the species, the desire for clear, amber or sediment free LC, will it be aerated or magnetically stirred, or perhaps both, will the aeration be constant and rolling or atomized through an airstone, or will it be a slow blub blub? We have been sticking to a pretty simple recipe:

10g Light Malt Extract

10g Dextrose

1g Soy Peptone

per 1000ml of distilled h20

On agar its a much simpler equation because the mycelium isn't pulling nutrients from deep down in the dense agar, its only growing on the top most surface. In the matrix of an aqueous solution we are finding that sediment and and a 2-3% sugar content is somewhere close to ideal for a number of common species. 

Something that still amazes me is that mycelium/mushrooms are incredible bioreactors. A diverse diet will keep basidiomycetes entertained/challenged and robust. So change up their diet and bring them to the brink of cell death and they will surprise you with adaptability and yields.

We are still waiting on their return and release so we can get them test them and find out what's up! But we are stoked to share it with everyone!

looking slick mang!!!

That's why we make em! There is something to getting the combo down in the processing that makes for insanely fast h20 uptake!
