To cover or not to cover
    #22480928 - 11/05/15 12:17 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hello I have heard many different 'opinions' on this matter I a little clarification would be much appreciated.  I have heard people say not to cover jars during incubation to allow for gas exchange, but I have also heard that FAE should be 0 during incubation.  I am conflicted on what I should do any insights would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Hey I'm a new grower and new to mushrooming in general I hope to learn as much about mushrooms as I possibly can I may be going to graduate school for mycology in the future, but I'm 27 and need money.  But hell life's right in front of me, nothing to look forward to.  Best of luck to all.

Gas exchange and FAE are not the same thing.  Fae is something sitting out in an open room having fresh air hit it, or a jar with the lid completely off.  Gas exchange is like "if I inflate this thing, is it going to explode or leak through somewhere?"  It's just enough to equalize pressure without much resistance.

If you're doing PF tek keep the foil off after you inoculate.  In fact, no matter what, take off the foil after inoculation.

Yeah, the holes in your lid will supply all the GE you'll need for your cakes. And the dry verm layer will protect it from contams. :super:
