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!

Morning Ya'll! We are stoked to be turning up the heat here at MycoWizards to support the growing community of cultivators! Starting in August we will be releasing weekly videos, from video podcasts at farms across the country to pheno-flicks, story time with cultivators, the staple diet of deep dives and much much more, so get stoke! In addition to the extra content each month we will be giving away one of these badass Nomad Lyte HEPA's from Lab Rat Flowhoodz! The only folks entered into this are folks who are part of this community, so get stoked MycoWizards of the world and keep an eye out for the monthly drawings. We will pull monthly winners live on the @mainecapnstemco instagram and announce the winner on here via this community page and in an email directly to the winner. 

Thanks for helping us grow this magickal collective of cultivators, ya'll are the true blue badasses of the myco-sphere!

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!
