Hello Mycowizards of the world. My name is Tyler. I am looking for USA grown cordyceps that doesn't break the bank. I typically grow my own, but just haven't had the time or space lately to grow a new batch. 

I'm hoping a generous mycowizard can help me out with finding a couple pounds, so that I can make a new batch of tincture. I am willing to pay a fair price, just hoping that it's less than the hundreds of dollars online sellers want for larger amounts. Thank you in advance for the help.

Hey Y'all, been growing for about 1.5 years and first time ran into this. Maybe 2 different problems. We made 20 blocks each of Lions Mane, Chestnut, and Black Pearl on 8/28. The black pearl bags look great. All of the lions mane and chestnut bags looking funky as hell.

Anything obvious come to mind when you see the photos?

All bags were made back to back in the lab that day. The blocks made the day before and a week later look great.

Thanks for any ideas in advance!

If you’re into Cordyceps I just made this video because I couldn’t affordably source brown rice so trialed different Organic grains but it’s just part 1 because editing and doing video work while running farm with a toddler is impossible. I also setup a DIY cool bot for temperature control and year round production!

I am in great need of a bagging system so I asked openai its opinion re Thor vs Fenrir. This is what it said. 

Thor vs. Fenrir – A Myth Retold

As the sky cracks and fire rains down, the great wolf Fenrir bursts free of his chains. His jaws stretch wide—upper jaw scraping the sky, lower jaw dragging the earth—devouring everything in his path. In the original prophecy, it is Odin who stands before him. But this time, Thor, the thunderer, steps forward.

Mjölnir crackles in his hand, lightning arching along the haft. The ground trembles beneath Fenrir’s steps.

• The first clash: Thor hurls his hammer into the wolf’s chest. The blow knocks Fenrir back, bones shattering, but the beast’s rage only grows. He lunges, teeth snapping at Thor’s shield arm, ripping the metal to tatters.

• The struggle of strength: Thor grabs Fenrir’s upper jaw with one hand, his lower jaw with the other, straining to hold the monster apart. The wolf thrashes, each movement quaking the Nine Worlds.

• The storm unleashed: With a roar, Thor summons thunder and lightning into his body, channeling it through Mjölnir. He drives the hammer down into Fenrir’s skull. The blast blinds all who see it.

• The price: Though the wolf collapses, its venomous blood splashes onto Thor, burning through flesh and bone, just as Jörmungandr’s poison would have. Thor staggers, victorious—but doomed. He walks nine steps before falling, his body smoking, his spirit bound for Valhalla.

Quat Cleaner, hypochlorus acid, anybody use these to clean/sanitize things? Currently only using 70% iso for working and bleach for deep cleaning 

Any essential equipment for tincture production that has made your process easier/more efficient? We have some pretty basic alcohol extraction and boiling extraction methods. I have seen some people talk about industrial strength grinders as a way to increase surface area and extraction. 

We all starting somewhere. There's my first home lab set up. Im about to buy a flowhood soon and epoxy paint the desk, now i'm using a homemade glovebox. I got everything I need to make it work.

Any tips on lowering the temperature inside of grow tents? In the winter temps are perfect inside of my garage, however with summer now starting to take effect my grow environments have been sitting at 70-75F. 

I’m still in desperate need for Maitake culture of the month club. Sorry to be like a broken record, I just need it for my medicinal products. I have tons of everything but that. I’m also saving up to make capsules!!  Y'all are the bomb and I’m super grateful! In vitro that I slit and tried to tape with Polypore microfiber. Fingers crossed 🤞
