Cultures have returned! Gregors getting some mycelium onto terrestrial dishes to see how viable they are...so far they are looking good! This was a different mission than workmans, I have to touch base with him about that...lots of hype on space shrooms these days which is fucking exciting!

Hell yea!!! Looks fantastic, gotta love first lab builds, I remember my first closet lab, door was a sheet of painters plastic taped to the closet frame with that adhesive zipper from home depot! Mega Congrats!

Stu Hartley what kind of substrate are you using? havent seen any drying on our maitake blocks, even through invitro-fruiting. Maybe run a trial next to a unicorn XLS-A and see if the patch is the issue?

This is the one i suggest, they do have cheaper ones but they have their respective issues with even seals and cycles and speed and such

There is a chinese one...Ill find the link shortly and post it here:

30% is just what they claim to go down to but it certainly gets them down to bone-ass-dry. It certainly gets them down to the point at which they are preservable and retain minimal moisture. We have been doing tests to see if any molds or anything can grow but so far so good.

Definitely share the paper amigo! We would love to see it. GateKeepers be damned!

61% is good...in an A patch bag?

I gave a talk at the OK Fungi Fest this past summer and man it was odd to listen to Willy give a "talk" on LSD...he got a lot of the facts wrong and really didn't share anything everyone hasn't already heard. It was a bit of a bummer to know he is just in it for the $$$ but he has been in it for just that since the beginning (using his ICP Family rhetoric to sow seeds of a following) He has done some good, but he shadows a serious collective of mycologists that he pulled from for early inspiration. Dude's gotta get his facts straight. Stoked for more Workman episodes...he is a true blue badass! Hamilton's episode was a rough one, but after all Hamilton is a awkward interviewer!
