    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    Co2 is heavier than air. If one directs the general flow of air downward, by, perhaps putting a few holes low on your fruiting chamber and smaller holes high up in that same container, gravity will likely take care of normal air exchange. Pay attention to humidity. If you see cracks in the...

    That's a great pin set. I think your mycelium is just under the surface. That means you did everything right. Just keep doing what you did. Fanning is over rated though. Keep your co2 ppm below 4 or 5 thousand ppm and you neednt fan all the time.

    Relax. But your uncolonized substrate is vulnerable. At least keep it covered.

    Mushroom chocolate bars

    There are no "legal" parts of these mushrooms. The entire fruit AND mycelium have at least a trace of the active ingredient in them. If psilocybin is legal then the entire thing is. If it's not then maybe...MAYBE the spores are legal as they are not active. I love how gullible we...

    My favorite is STILL disposable scalpel. Use one for a few identical transfers and then throw it away.

    The real trick is to ensure a low profile. I use all 45 degree angle instruments. I find clay or wax tools (for making jewelery) the best. I don't have to lift the dish lid very high in order to work the plate.

    Your little hole punch could be extremely useful. It is tedious and annoying to draw little circles that must connect in order for agar, ESPECIALLY light, soft agar to come away from the plate. Anstrument that picks up the little plug and then easily deposits that plug on another dish AND...

    The problem you may have is the lack of delicate utility. Your handle likely needs to be thin and easily manipulated. Thick and heavy instruments will cost time and dexterity at the scalpel point.

    They said it couldnt be Done!! Azurescens & Copelandia

    Basic principles. Merely squirting some spores on a general substrate is not likely to work ever.

    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    My tec explanains that. You WANT co2 into 5000 or more ppm. But if your o2 level gets too low they go into stasis.

    Anybody growing mushrooms willing to talk???

    You can use vaccutainers (red top), isolate your tissue one at a time and keep a library of your best cultures. You have a couple of years in the fridge and you can just suck a little out if the vacu, squirt it into your lc and within days have perfectly serviceable spawn. Then you can...

    Here is the thing. The tyvek filters will do fine against spores of any sort. But they will NOT stop hypae. If, as example, you inadvertently smear a bit of sticky wet grain mucous on the inside of a filter patch and a spore of what have you lands on the outside of that patch- the spore...

    What ever the point, one does not put anything on a filter patch. Ever.
