The mycelium will just take what it needs, gypsum is said to help with fruit formation, but gypsum is a pH buffer so it also helps with stopping pH swings in later flushes as the myceliom consumes the substrate.

Agreed.
Yes gypsum is a good slow acting buffer for some grains @ 3% if grains have unbalnce amount of calcium and sulfate. But too much it will just be wasted..
Gypsum is ph stable Just like ferather have said some grains have short lived ph for a-amylase (6.7-7.00 ph) Usefull for buffering @3%. Thats why its also used in brewing water.
In terms of grain agar ive been noticing a good growth buffering the ph to 7-7.5ph by adding a pinch of powdered eggshell about 1 eggshell or 10-15g per 700ml water for a shortterm fast acting buffer specially if tea is added.
This is what i do for agar almost mimicking a ruminant digestive path. - boil water. - steep tea - add brf - let the nute hydrolyze & react to the acidic water - bottle while hot - add caco3 - sit for aday and let the caco3 slowly react to the 4.5-5.5 ph - measure increased ph next day. - cook agar if it reached ph near 7.
Thank for posting the enzyme optimal ph brother. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24847183#24847183.
I think as for protien they produce peptidase with an optimal ph of 4.7 to 6.25

Do you guys start counting those 3 hours Quote:
hamloaf said: Consider going with 3 hours especially at 15 psi, and saying the bags are full of 3quarts of grain or more.
When do you guys start counting those 3 hours? Or 2,5 at 20? From the moment you reach pressure, or from the moment you the substrate is at temp?

@pacmanbreed, Good stuff dude.
----
Extract from my pocket guide, with added Amylase cleavage:
----
Enzymes
Disclaimer: Optimal pH varies with the organism, and it's enzymes.
Cellulase (cellulose): 4.5-8.5. Laccase (phenol's): 5.5-6.0. Amylase (starch): 3.0-7.0.
Protease (protein): 2.5-11.
For cellulase there are four types:
Alkaline cellulase: 7.2-8.5. Neutral cellulase: 6.0-8.0. Hybrid cellulase: 4.5-7.0. Acid cellulase: 4.5-5.0.
For amylase there are three types:
Ξ±-Amylase: 6.7-7.0. < Any amount of glucose. Ξ²-Amylase: 4.0-5.0. < Cleaves two units. Ξ³-Amylase: 3.0. < Cleaves one unit.
Laccase remains stable at pH 5.0-10.0.
For protease there are three types:
Alkaline protease: 7.0-11.0. Neutral protease: 6.0-9.0. Acid protease: 2.5-4.0.
----
There are also other nitrogen sources other than protein. Some nitrogen sources don't need enzymes at all.
Calcium bicarbonate also needs no enzymes.

The moment the desired psi's are reached.

These images you have seen before, but I will now explain further.
This is Cambodian, brown rice spawn, pH 7.5 paper, enriched for more yield. You can see visibly it is highly populated, aerial and very fast. The added soluble macro-micro nutrients do not require enzymes, also when it switched to cellulose, it had good nutrients.
The nitrogen sources where ammoniacal and ureic nitrogen, natively present in dung, does not require protease.
This was 6 years ago, before I knew how to fruit anything correctly.


Practically gourmet style, adding nutrients.

Interesting stuff ferather. Dung like papers.  Really dug deep on their hydrolitic process. 
Getting better @ cubes. they are specialized in a-amylase for carbon In utilizing the ureic and ammonical nitrogen To build glycogen etc Then switch to cellulase in later stages specially when fruiting and c:n has reached its peak.
Im still diggin deeper understanding why a tea-agar or wl-substrate is so resistant even mold spore present in air if c & n is present. I guess due to the minimal amount?.. Is that asceptically inoculated or open air?
Is wl-enrichment used? Code:
Optional: 12g Black Tea Leaves + 4-8g Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). Beneficial Bacteria: 2-4g Liquid Seaweed (powder may work). 4-8g, (5.00-10ml) > Miracle-Gro Soluble Nutrients. 0.5-1g, (0.62-1.24ml) > Yeast Nutrients. 100g > Dry Pellets (any type).
If they knotup in that syntetic dung. Its a nice alternative substrate to pf-pucks for further bacterial isolation.

has anyone tried using sterilized qtips to swipe a print to agar instead of an inoculation loop?

I'm sure someone has. Most of the time people swioe the gills with a qtip then a plate so I don't doubt it would work for a print. Penis varieties pretty much necessitate swiping the gills.

yes. they call it swabbing. its easy and i actually prefer it better than using a loop.

Thatβs the only way I do it. I bought 100 2-packs of pre-sterilized swabs, been almost a year and Iβm barely halfway into it

Swabbing 
I cut a piece of a swab and dropped it on an agar puck with josex's tek. I really like germinating this way and transfering to agar later.

Iβm in the swab game- the spores stick easily but get transferred well to the plate. I individually wrapped swabs in foil and autoclave 15 psi for 30 min then throw in a bag.
