Supplementing oxygen
    #19295255 - 12/18/13 09:24 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I'm assuming when we provide our mushrooms with FAE, we are trying to give them oxygen. So why not try to up the O2 concentration with a canister of oxygen from Home Depot? I'm not so much a fan of automating my tubs or anything, so in reality I probably wouldn't do this, but has anyone tried anything like this? I feel like it might have some benefits and it might be interesting to try once or twice. I know this is kinda a weird question, but the thought just jumped into my head and I felt like I needed to share it.

Yeah, that might be true. I'm still tempted to try it.

How do you intend to keep the oxygen enriched air around yoursub?
You could make a clear tent like  they do at hospitals! use a clear shower curtain..
I Didn't know home depot had oxygen tanks. 
I have always wondered this too. 
all my spent sUBS get tossed outside, and if they fruit, the fruits are very dense

Has anyone tried it?
Or has fresh air exchange worked for everyone so far?

Oyster mushrooms are known to develop differently with different concentrations of CO2.  I think the idea is to provide fresh air to wash away the CO2 and get fresh O2 in.  That way your fungi are happy and can express their full potential.  The cost of gas sensing meters and O2 injection may be prohibitive.  Although it would probably affect the morphology of fungi grown under differing concentrations.

i played with alot of oxygen in the 90's.
we had unlimited oxygen at a lab i worked at.

i see no need for it, in a proper grow.

oxygen, seems benign enough, but it has sinister qualities.
i wont declare it " dangerous" , but i wont declare it safe either.
oxygen can make a low fire hazard, a total raging blaze in seconds.

if ya really wanna get full potential,
everything else first, would pry be better,
than aiming an o2 tank at a feeble grow.

ill suggest its not the most practical idea.

fill your grow room with vigorous house plants?  they'll take care of each other.  too much O2 is probably just as bad as too little.

the "fan", is a thought.
might be sorta radical, but its been known to work.
naturally, i expect to be attacked for such a suggestion.

dont mind annie, suggesting expensive technical equipment.

Well I see where OP is coming from, when you add extra carbon dioxide to a plant grow you can get amazing results.

So why not take that and apply it to mycology !

I really doubt the extra cost of oxygen would be worth it.

houseplants FTW

The red bottles of O2 are like $7-8. You could grow a few ounces for 7-8$ worth of rye berries and some energy for the PC run.

Here's what I think. Screw the red bottle onto a blow torch made for propane and grow in a bucket with a sealed lid and a piece of plexiglass siliconed down to make it airtight. Stick the blowtorch through the hole and seal it with clay or something similar. Several times a day just hold down the trigger on the blowtorch for a minute and observe the results. Or you could take the top off and fan to get rid of excess CO2 and then add extra 02 via a sealed hole in the side of the bucket.

Sounds like you got the idea, why Don't you give it a go?
Then report back with your findings.

Nope. It's to remove the CO2. CO2 can have damaging effects regardless of how much oxygen is present.

the hilarity, of the smallest dry biomass piece,
in an oxygen rich environment, and static prone plastic pail.......
( hey baby , slide that test bucket across the carpet so i can oxy dose it)

:onfire:

i can tell you guys arent wise to the nuances of oxygen.
it can suddenly make shit ya wouldnt think would burn, into a fireball.
and it can happen on the micro level.........instantly.

oxygen is like pit bulls.
of course ya can have one and play around for years.
but if it turns on ya, it will fuck with you in insidious ways.

dont let annie spoil the fun though.
just pull the oxygen tanker truck right up to the lab.

But if you were to add oxygen it would lower the proportion of CO2 to O2. And fungi inhale oxygen. Would it be like putting a sickly person in an oxygenated environment? I'll try it once I get an isolate and a second bucket. Side by side tests of O2 bucket and regularly fanned bucket.
