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.

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!

ITs funny you should mention this, I am just about to sit down with David Medlock of Highland Fungi to record a podcast and one of the main topics we are stoked to talk about is water filtration. Here are some still of a paper David sent to me and maybe he has more to say on the matter here. Regardless I think its high time we did a water filtration Deep Dive episode and dedicate it to YOU! When it comes to substrate and spawn prep minerals can be a valuable micronutrient for mycelium but it can raise some hell in humidification, from blotch to rosecomb to equipment issues. RO for humidification in fruiting is ideal where as production it is more of a question of the the minerals wear and tear on equipment. For boilers and retorts we soften and carbon scrub our city water to prevent damage to equipment. In Sub and Spawn testing water is important to make sure it doesnt have an abundance of anything bad such as heavy metals which can be common with well water.

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!
