I'd be pretty happy getting 4 or 5 of those 4.24 oz kings off of one block. I'm not greedy

Made another 12 lipa bags. I now use water with 40-50g lime and a 1/2 pint of wood ash that's at a rolling boil. Ive also been using 2 quarts of spawn per bag. Im also now cooling and spawning the bags in my spare "clean room" bathroom with a desktop HEPA. This should give me a good scale on contams from the wood prep and not environmental. The first few batches i was spawning outside. Eventually i will be doing these in front of my flow hood once it's built. I'm continuing with the king oysters which seem to love it and also have 2 bags each of aloha AZ maitake and TS-1 Shiitake.
The spent brewers grain sterilized bags are colonizing super fast! All the leftover sugars i'm sure are speeding up growth. They should be 100% in about a week. Some are spotty so i had to mix the bags again. I think i didn't let the bags cool enough and that killed some of the spawn. I lost one bag to contam out of the 6 sterilized bags but the impulse seal at the top was bad.

HEPA is a holmes pn# HAP242-NUC with a 99.99 .3 micron filter PN# HAPF300AP-U4 $50 total. This current set of lipa bags is 9% bran and will be a new king culture i recently got.

3/5 bags are still fruiting. Kings are slow especially at 63-66F so they are still tiny.The other two had pins and all aborted. I'll cold shock the two bags again this week.

What are you hearing by slow guys? Our Kings take 13-15 days to fruiting from the moment I put them in the FC (16 degrees C)

For sure. I feel horrible when I sell 2 day old pinks. You can see as they decay day by day.

None of our clients are interested in regular oysters. They sell in the supermarkets at 6 euros/kg. Our restaurants pay 15 euros/kg for the kings and our shops and wholesalers pay 10/kg (the supermarkets are selling at 19E/kg!)

Added to that is the fact that I can sell mushrooms that are a week old and still perfect quality... I can't imagine how stressful it is trying to get regular oysters sold before they're a puddle on the floor!

$10/lb is what restaurants typically pay. at the wholesale level it's about $5-6/lb
be glad you aren't in europe. eryngii can be had for $3/kg at wholesale pricing. the fucking koreans are slick. shiitakes are $6/kilo or less
i heard from a farmer that there was a farm sending 8 tons of white buttons to be fed to pigs :O

Europe is a big place! Eryngii is very rare in France outside the biggest cities. Also French people are deeply suspicious of anything that doesn't come from France so the Korean producers don't even get a look in here.
