Check saw mills too or your highschool if they have a woodshop class, just make sure they don't use treated lumber for any reason. My woodshop teacher use to pick up scraps from the local flooring mill for use to play with so I can't go that route. I'm not sure about lions mane but I know oysters play well with straw which is extremely easy to get this time of year. Most walmarts have straw bails for sale as halloween decorations around here, and it's really cheap.

Have you seen the little mini bales of straw at wWalmart? I'm tempted to grab a couple. The straw looks weird though, like it's really clean or something.

Tomorrow I'll be making some 1% agar mix (1% agar agar, and 2%food) I want to experiment a bit with LI for BRF cake inoculation. Anyone can tell me anything about 1% mix who has seen it? Could it be useful for this purpose?

How long do I tipically wait after disinfecting still air box with 96% ethanol before coming close to it with a lighter but so that there are no contams inside yet.
I heard a whoosh the first time I used it and I was using 40% alcohol, after upgrading to 96% I am slightly worried. I've made fuel air bombs when I was younger and alcohol in near perfect mixture scares me.

Yezzir, lol i never seen one with the egg shell sit on top like that, its like when a looneytoon bird hatches lol.
I cant i.d those for you though, they look like it though. Ive got more jack pics in my gallery. If you do get a confirmation fry them on a pan with salt/pepper an sweetcream butter an when u think theyre done give it like 5 more minutes. Theyre really good.

Thanks for clarifying to not mix ammonia with bleach, I already knew that from seeing misleading infographics, you know which ones I'm talking about.
But still thank you for having foresight.

Every time I see those I just shake my head. Those mini bales are twice as much as a regular bale of straw at the feed store!

Don't use alcohol to clean the inside of a SAB as it turns into a bomb.
Also 96% is pretty ineffective. 50-70% works best 70% is far more effective than 90 or higher

Yeah I know they're expensive, and I have access to large straw bales,if I wanted to use it. but that size seems convenient. Maybe good for sneaking into an apartment or something

What do you use to clean insides of SAB? Do you attempt to sterilize free flowing air in it as well?

All you have to do is mist water/soapy water inside your SAB to catch rogue mold spores and you will not need to worry about either of those things

Do any of you guys have any experience with Celltreat brand petri dishes? I've been thinking about moving away from pasty plates and I found what seems like a deal on a case of these Celltreat Petris.
Also, is a proper media bottle worth the expense over an empty whiskey bottle?
Thanks for any advice!

I feel wiping your arms with alcohol promotes dander. It dries the skin out which seems counterproductive to our scenario. I feel it's better to wash up to your elbows and keep the forearms wet

I switched to using Lysol wipes for my SAB. Wipe it down right before I use it every time. I stopped spraying and still never saw contams as long as I did my part in my technique.
