No, the polyfil is for keeping humidity. You don't want to duct tape your holes. WHat we mean like " in nature" is simply that mushrooms don't thrive in an anaerobic environment.

The sun beats down and naturally pasteurizes manure or poo of mulch, or compost or whatever medium it happens to be.... Then mycillium can colonize it.

This does not happen in a sealed up environment without oxygen. :shrug:

The saran wrap seals the top and the polyfil allows filtered gases to exchange,  allowing robust heathy growth.




Here is an example.

This tub colonized all the way from 0% -> 100% in light with nothing but Saran wrap, polyfil, and a black liner under the substrate.





.... No outer bag, no duct tape!!!!!

I repeat myself. If you want good yeilds colonized all the way from 0% -> 100% in light with nothing but Saran wrap, polyfil, and a black liner under the substrate.


I'm not knocking anyone, trusted cultivators included, I'm just saying I know what I am doing.

I have been through it all. I have had contamination, poor yeilds, Over-hydration issues, Dried out substrates. .....

This process takes fine tuning to get down. I have been doing it for years and this is what I have learned to be true. I am a scientist and hold a research degree from a major university. I have been cultivating fungi since biology class during my undergrad. This is my advice......

Do with it what you wish :wink:

-prof.





Just do it this way.....

should the polyfil be packed super tight? or just loosely stuffed in there?

loose enough so that air passes easily but tight enough so that it holds in place.
