I use a lot of old skool bulbs cause I like the color. If you have a bulb left, it works pretty well.
U could also try cook some on a hot pan till they become dry.
Ok, might have to try that! Somehow I figured they would just reduce down to soggy the way that button mushrooms do.
That would be more practical I just don't have a fan or space heater at the moment.
The dehydrator I ordered was postponed due to COVID I believe.

WTF? Lol I feel like this wouldn't work... At all... Lmao. Who knows though maybe. RyeHumour you can store them in the fridge. I like to wrap the in paper towels them in a paper bag. That goes into a Ziploc or Tupperware bit could also be left just in the paper bag. I've never stored for more than a day or two though. You can also dehydrate in a oven on the lowest setting with the door cracked open. A tea Tek works too. I like to make super potent tea the freeze in ice cube trays. One cube one dose. Just pop one or two into your favorite beverage and sip. Hope your dehydrator shows up soon and good luck.

Try it, it works. Make some Shroomy Stir Fry and thank me later 
Freezing is an option as well until you get some incand bulbs for your desk lamp.
If you freeze them, use a freezer bag and push all the air out of the bag. And then you can add your frozen shrooms to a fruit smoothie for a delicious Spring Time Treat

Hey guys, if I put a cake inside an SGFC that has a little bit of Contam or bruishing on it, can it destroy other clean cakes in it ?

I'm new here, but I have been following along some of the guides and currently have 4 quarts of colonised oat grain spawn, which looks healthy and will soon be ready for fruiting etc. However I have let this stage creep up on me a little as there was a fair bit of waiting involved and the mycelium has really exploded lately.
Are there any particular guides people would recommend for the next step? I'm trying to keep things simple and have been looking at the guides that use coir only.

Keeping things simple is the way to go when you're starting out. It doesn't get much simpler than an oat spawn + coir mix spread into plastic totes. Bodhi has a lot of minimalist guides to do that, such as for larger monotubs or 6qt "shoeboxes". Whatever container you pick, try to keep the ratio of oats to coir around 1:1 or 1:2.

I have one cake that has a bit of green contamination or bruishing on it.
Its 100% colonized. Can I scrape it out?
Should I separate it from other cakes and use different types of tek for fruiting?
Do you recommend something simple for that cake? Is it okay If I put it into a plastic bag with the perlite in it?
If someone knows what I'm talking about can jump to the threat and help me out

why is it an explosion hazard to smoke near propane tanks, yet I can ignite a lighter to light my propane burner right next to the tank?
Was using my burner for the first time today and really sweatin over that when I lit it, but im still alive.
Also I was about to revive some stone cultures i had in the fridge. I'm guessing it'd be a good idea to plate it one last time before going to grain? If nothing else it'll preserve more of my deep dish agar jars.
Been a while, I'm a little rusty.

Go to the pet store, grab some eco earth reptile substrate (the bricks not the bagged stuff) and hydrate one brim with 3-4qts water. Get it to field capacity and spawn to that inside of an unmodified sterility tub, preferably the kind with blue handles and a gasket. Take the gasket off and leave it sit unlatched or leave the gasket and keep the lid upside down. Should work just fine. Just make sure the room that it’s in or whatever space your fruiting in stays around 65-69 degrees Fahrenheit.

So you wouldn't recommend pasteurizing the coir first?
Or is that just an optional step?
As long as you've got a 5gal bucket or spare tote doesn't seem like it'd be too big a deal.

You should try growing lions mane and adding powdered lions mane to the capsules I heard cubensis and lionsmane make a great combo.
Hum that might be a good option too.. thanks man

I do pasteurize my coir but that’s because I have OCD and mold spores scare me. Most people on here would say it’s an optional step.
And yes, if you have a 5 gal bucket and a probe thermometer you can just stick the probe in the bucket and you’ll see that pouring boiling water onto the coir and sealing the lid your coir will easily reach 170 for a couple of hours. That’s considered partial sterilization however and I’ve started to just hydrate my coir with tap water (hot as tap water will get) and then actually pasteurize it in jars on the stove.
Coir is pretty non-nutritious so it doesn’t really need to be heat treated. Just my way of adding layers of security.

Propane tanks by themselves are not an explosion hazard. Even if propane tank was put on a bonfire, it's supposed to start leaking and fuelling the fire, but not exploding.
The explodey part is if it's leaking a bit inside a room, making the perfect mixture of propane and oxygen that ignites when you light a cigarette.
If you're sketched out by propane tanks, make sure to use them in a well ventilated place and away from anything else that burns and you'll be safe.

Im really not happy about these plates but iv never done a needle biopsy before it just looks like mold to me. They were done on 4/8, kinda unsure if im going to do anything with these and try again.

Also CYA... an explosion is possible however unlikely. Liability yada yada
on the other hand it can the argument can also be made that lighting the propane torch is a necessary risk.
perhaps the point is that in comparison introducing a cigarette is an unnecessary risk

thanks for the reassurance fellas. Its so nice to be PC'ing normally again. My electric hotplate could barely even get the thing up to pressure after like an hour. And yeah I'm using it outside. Just hope it never starts dumping rain mid cycle, maybe I'll have some sheet metal handy I could cover it with in the event.
