Hey Chris, So the POLA HART combo can be purchased directly from HARTENV.com...contact Wayne or Brian over there...alternatively you can get the Hart system from HART and the POLA system from Far West Fungi if you feel like supporting those folks by emailing lupe@farwestfungi.com

The cost can vary based on the compressor you get and any of the plumbing and electrical you don't decide to do yourself but let me pull up the price list for the POLA and the HART and post it in the episode description/notes or post it up here

Unicorn has been a bear to work with when it comes to custom bags as of recent so we have been working with Sac02 as well as Sakato. In the bag world at large there are very few producers. Companies like Unicorn, Sakato and other gusset based bag companies are working 24 hours a day no exaggeration to produce on average a bag per minute per machine. It's an intense world that hasn't caught up to the degree of cultivators out there yet!

Yea man i agree! One of the most interesting places we visited on this last westcoast run was OM Mushrooms in Carlsbad California, Sam, who was LIPA on the Shroomery runs their R&D department and he gave us a tour of what they do to grow their Cordy's in bags. That interview and tour will be coming out this fall, but basically they grow cordy crosses in 6-7lb bags of cellulose injected oats, this has a wild cycle, the bag of oats fully colonizes, then exidate accumulates in the bag, then the exidate gets sucked back into the grain and the whole bag turns orange and like lightning fully formed cordy fruit bodies flood every single inch of the bag. All in all its around a 6 week cycle but fascinating to see exactly how they are making a mix of mycelium on oats and fruitbodies. We have messed with rice in bags and that works really well, making sure there is breathability in the patch. The trick is to actually get fully formed cordys and not just the orange aerial stems.

Check out the ones that Neil builds at Columbia Mushrooms, its essentially a belt driven culvert...works great for 5lb bags with plenty of air sealed in them but 10lb bags need a longer and more gentle run to completely void a person from shaking them post innoculation

Hell Ya! Slaying! We are working on a few different Cordy projects currently, they are fascinating little buggers!

Tyler N Allen That's amazing! The north east is severely lacking in Cordy's so that would be radical to see! We are always here to support and fill in production for folks so we are stoked to work with you amigo!

Rock and roll! There are so many folks in the PNW, take a rip down to Far West Fungi in CA or hit up Columbia Mushrooms in your neck of the woods, there are so many farms out there now its wild!
