Perfect Lions Mane.  I actually took some for myself today too and I'm cooking a meatloaf......it's going to fucking awesome 

Hey ya'll! I have a grow room question I've been puzzling over- how do you prevent a humidifier system that pulls air from outside the grow room from creating positive pressure when the exhaust fan is off?

I run a ultrasonic mist maker in a water barrel for humidity, and currently have my intake fan ducted through it to blow the fog into the air (I run an intake fan as well as an exhaust but have the intake at a lower setting to keep negative pressure). I used to run my fans continuously, so the mist maker would just turn on and off via my humidistat and all was well, but I recently picked up a co2 sensor, and now since my fans aren't running continuously, I can only humidify when they're on. 

So now I think it makes sense to separate the humidifier from the ventilation system, but if I add another intake to pull air from outside into the humidifier barrel and into the grow room, the room would go positive in the case that the humidifier is running when the ventilation fans aren't. 

How do you deal with this? Any humidity system will push some amount of air into the room, and if the ventilation isn't always running wouldn't this reverse the pressure? I suppose I could add another lower powered exhaust fan to balance it out, but I'm just wondering if there's a simpler way. Or maybe the airflow from the humidifier isn't enough to cause an issue, either way I'd love some clarity!

Hi everyone! 

This is kind of a newbie question but wanted to hear y’all’s input on water filtration. I see many different opinions out there, I’ve been thinking to install reverse osmosis to be used for grain spawn hydration, substrate hydration, in the sterilizer etc, just wanted to get thoughts, I’m in the city and it seems like many people say tap is fine, but I’m concerned about chlorine/chemicals/heavy metals etc but there’s healthy minerals there too, this is for a medium size (actives) farm, do y’all filter your water?

Culture club question: has anyone received any of their culture clubs shipments? I paid my $295 subscription fee back in September and haven’t received anything. I love the videos and I’m happy to support all the content, but I was really hoping to get some cool cultures

Hi everyone! First post on here for me, but huge fan from the podcasts to the deepdives and the broadcasts! I'm in France wich means soyhulls are not really an option for me since we grow next to no soy in France. But they import soybeans from all around the world to extract the oil so i can get my hands on the waste product of that witch is the hulls plus the crushed/extracted beans. So my question is would that still be usable as a supplement but in a lower %, Or is would it just be to nutriënt dense? Thank u guys for all the help and info you provide, you have literally saved my farm a year ago, and i'm shure many many other farms!  Have a good one! 

Snow white oyster. These are awesome.  I had a feeling people would like them at least around here being White and pleasant looking as most are used to buttons.  Harvested a couple blocks so not a lot of weight.  They sold at the farmers market within an hour. Bank account from zero to enough for the whole work week quick. Very cool mushroom. 

I have been struggling with some maitake blocks drying out around the 4th to 5th week in incubation.  I was wondering what kind of moisture level people are shooting for with their maitake blocks.  I work on 61% currently

How's the space mission grains doing? I've eaten mushrooms and went to space for sure/Np but never eaten mushrooms "from" space. 

What were the conditions for the mycelium in space?  Was this the same space trip sporeworks stuff was on?  

What is your farm doing to mix spawn into substrate?

We're suffering with manual mixing by hand.  It doesn't scale.

Thoughts?
