    Very 1st tub - I followed these instructions pretty closely and I got excellent large fruit….2nd time, I think I packed the substrate with my hands too tight.. the pins all started coming out all at the same time and were spread evenly across the tub,( I was excited) but when they started fruiting, they did not get very big (stayed under 3”with small heads opening up.) . Also many of the pins stayed very small or slow growing….Do you think it was because I packed the substrate?

    You have some very beautiful mycelium agar plates my agar plates always get thick fluffy growth with long thin strands stacked on top of each other yours has a nice thick ropey growth that's very beautiful does this mean the cultures are strong and healthy or does it mean they are hungry because I've followed some of your recipes and its given me very happy looking fast growing thick and fluffy but not as beautiful as your plates how do you achieve that and is that a good thing ? I never knew that about the hydrogen peroxide I am going to give that a try I still get contamination from time to time maybe 1 in every 10 plates is still becoming contaminated with trichoderma. Could I spray say 0.5 -1% around an attempted clone that became very contaminated and grew some very scary looking stuff but also grew a spot of mycelium if I cover it spray with 1% around it then in 24hours spray 0.3% directly on the mycelium before doing a transfer to clean agar with a very low sugar content and 0.3% H2O2 will it grow without contamination spreading with it and if the contamination is all ready embedded will it atleast slow the growth of contamination and allow clean mycelium to grow ? People say just do water agar transfers but if mycelium is Gona grow on it so will other contaminants and they can in alot of cases out grow the mycelium so would you personally consider this the go to method over water agar and would you recommend anything else to help slow contamination but aid in mycelium grow eg pine contains a natural disinfectant garlic has antibacterial properties cinnamon is a mild anti fungal and ginger is natural disinfectant with 1000s more do you know of anything like this ? Does sprinkling a bit of saw dust and small grains on the agar plates before sending to colonize grain help at all? Is there anything other way to dry up the agar plates from the condensation that's not sitting Infront of a flow hood I've not got 1 and use a still air box for transfers so what's a good way to remove the condensation from my petri dishes before I transfer anything to them ?

    Thank you for the code for the discount with true blue genetics. I ordered from them and the syringes were so wonderfully full of mycelium in the liquid culture and they even threw in an extra syringe of another strain for me for free. I ordered from another place first but true blue had so much more varieties and the amount of mycelium in the syringe was awesome and I was so happy with the extra one. I will be a true blue customer for life now. ❤

    Been taking note of Mykorrhiza lately for helping root development. Though it seems there are a lot of different once, plus other fung and bacteria that also play a role in that. Do you know of a place where one could look up what plants roots love what fungi aka live in symbiosis with them? Sofar i have seen a lot of root activation products and some seem rather dubios from their pricing if not outright criminal what they charge while others are literaly dirt cheap. I have not yet found a source that could devide the good from the bad once. *sigh* Anyways thanks for the vid, intersting to say the least.

    I've been finding that using certain mushrooms 🍄 have truly improved my mood. I was having a VERY hard time controlling my anger from ptsd from extremely physical and emotional abuse from my mother and step mother. After a year+ of great in person talk therapy, coupled with 🍄 therapy has garnered the best results I have ever hoped for. Mushrooms 🍄 are very much "magical" I use a combo of amanita and sillycybin. Not together, but at separate times of day. Amanita for the morning, P. Cyan wavy's or P. Cube envies for the evening. Micro doses for 2 or 3 weeks followed by a heroes dose once a month. I am finally happy, I actually feel good now. It's been 34 years since I felt this way. Big thanks to Fungaia for the information on mushroom propagation. ✌️🍄

    Being a food canner first and a shroomer second, I would highly recommend purchasing a weighted jiggler. It allows you to select a desired psi by the use of weight rings and release unneeded higher pressure on its own. This avoids excessive boiling off of the water which can warp your canner, a pressure above 15 psi which can caramelize your product and use excess power. It only needs to jiggle once or twice a minute and not like a hula dancer. It definitely reduces anxiety often associated using a pressure canner. Here is some information on the jiggler on the presto site . www.gopresto.com/product/pressure-canner-pressure-regulator-50332
