There is not enough data to notice a big pattern. Sometimes wedges did
not get to the destination for one member, but worked out for another
member in the same state. It appears(Time will tell better) that the
further away it goes, TX,AZ,CA, the less chances of the wedge surviving
using the method I have used. I will be sending out a wedge today I
overlooked and will make a cardboard cutout and affix it to the note
card. See what happens!

Exactly. Take California- send a letter from Canada to San Diego, and it goes direct to the local SD sorting center.
Send one to Escondido, and it's going to get sub-sorted into the San Diego area, then possibly again to get to the local station.
Or possibly it goes a whole other route, maybe incoming letter to smaller places go through some vast sorter in Sacramento or somewhere.

Looks good. :thumbup: That ships at letter rate? Fits through the gadget?

also, let me know if you need a data point for Colorado. :wink:

I tossed a $1 U.S stamp on it and it will hit the mailbox later
tonight. We shall see if it arrives or not, has a bit more bulk
to it then the other letters but not by much. The gadget iv seen
used only on manilla envelopes.

The letter all done up feels like it simply has a few cards or something
of that kind inside. We shall see if it arrives, and I would of course
love a data point from Colorado in the future. When I get a bit of time
I will make up some more wedges and prepare a few using this method.
We shall see.

Picture of a wedge that has made it through the rollers and is still
sealed. Thanks for taking it total!

Another wedge that has made it using this method. I sent the new
design out today so we shall see if that arrives ok. If so I might make
up a few and send out a small sampling. When I am sure it is a method
that works 99% of the time I will edit the TEK in OP.

As long as Canada Post lets you ship it, USPS won't care what you paid for postage.
So anything that fits within your guidelines is ok. But it's going to get processed as a letter.

Update:

Have gotten a few more messages here and there, a couple make it, a few
more do not.

Interesting tho, out of the 6 wedges that got sent international only 1
had problems. The letter in question contained 4 wedges. 2 popped, two
made it across fine. Also took  a month and a bit to get from Canada to
India.

The us statistics are mixed, more getting through then not. I have
sent out 1 letter of a new design and have not yet received any
conformation. There are still some letters that have not arrived for
whatever reason.

Funny Side Note:

I recently sent a wedge package to a friend within Canada and it did
not make it intact, the wedges had popped and squirted the colonized
agar onto the card stock, and then dried. Also had obviously been
through some trauma the results of what we speculate to be getting
stuck in the sorting machine.

"I think I may have got the Pink Oyster after all.  I scraped the dried inside of the envelope and put on agar.  Got myc and I do not see any contams."

I have sent him a :pm: asking if he could take a picture.

Another update for you evil...
Just last night, i took my squished wedge(which had reformed in the bag:lol), and "re-squished" it into a gel, sanitized the package, snipped a corner, and plated...
Ill let you know how it goes!
I bet it turns out just fine!:super:
TBH, the hole squirting a little dot onto each plate was quite convenient...
Prob could easily done plenty of plates that way!

Cool.

For all that there seem to be so many ways to do these things
wrong, fungi are surprising hardy.

Keep spreadin' the love bro.

Got a message today regarding wedges I had sent, felt like I would share
it here:

"When I got the wedges (to US) the were squished just like everyone else was saying but appeared to still be sealed. I put the wedges to agar nearly 10 days ago and.... nothing. Not even any contamination. It was worth a try anyway, I'm thinking the rollers musta killed the myc as I would have expected to see something by now.  Mad respect for the effort though! "

Odd but I thought I would document it here. Would exposure to freezing
temps for an extended period of time kill the mycelium...Funny how
these wedges did not revive when placed on agar, yet dried agar on
card stock of the same strains lept off when placed on agar.

No. Mycillium can survive freezing temps. Even Ps. Cubensis mycillium.

In fact some commercial growers keep culture slants frozen that are being stored for long periods.

The main reason cubes don't survive outside of tropical habitat is due to summer rainfall amounts, not winter freezing.  I've seen six inches of snow on the ground and 0F in east texas where cubes grow wild, while in Seattle, the winters are much milder and rarely freeze, but cubes don't grow back year after year even when patches are started.

They need those summer thunderstorms to prevent the substrate(cow manure) from drying out totally.  In a climate with dry summers, the cubes don't survive unless watered.

I remember reading about freezing damaging mycelium so I went back and
found the info posted by Damion5050. Do not know what the consensus is
but thought I would post it here. As well we are not talking about
cubes, but legal edibles.

"If you freeze them it will almost always kill them you have to remember
mycelium is only a single cell thick.  And when frozen the ice crystals
that are formed will usually puncture the cell wall and since it is
only one cell thick you are then in turned by definition FUCKED !! "

thats why they are cryo-frozen.  :smile:

That is how they avoid the problem you just addressed.

I don't know about reishi though? It likely can't survive the type of freezing you are describing at the post office.

If the temp is dropped at a slow rate then yea, serious cell damage.

If you drop it quick enough...... thats a different story.

With the winter being here who knows how long it sat in the mailbox,
sat in a cold ass truck, for how long, at what temps ect ect. A LOT
of variables are at play here. First time that it has arrived sealed
and did not recover tho. Just brainstorming ideas of why this happened.
