If you are who you say you are, and I tend to believe you are (that would be an obscure individual to impersonate, although perhaps therein lies the genius of it), then you are owed a great deal of respect and acknowledgement as at least a pioneer of the current incarnation of this community.

You also did so in a time of Reagan, Just Say No, and increased incarceration rates for drug law offenses. For these few reasons, we should applaud you.

I hope you hang around so that we may learn from your experience. I also think you will be somewhat awed by the current methods and results of the current pioneers.

dear kinetic: the best type of a top for the mason jar is a special filter that goes into the metal lid and allows the mycelium to breathe. if the proper formula is used for water and grain then there is no need to have tinfoil to preserve moisture. also tinfoil is made from aluminum and you would not want to use any aluminum  at all as it is toxic and poisonous and it should not be used for anything at all to include pans etc.

I'm not trying to be rude at all but that's a terrible answer.  I want to know "why", not "just because". 

what is a "special filter"?  I use synthetic filter discs. 

I highly doubt aluminum foil is contaminating my jars through the sealed lid and filter.

I also highly doubt that you are who you say you are.  All of the info in your profile is publicly available, and you don't seem like an experienced and knowledgeable cultivator. 

Feel free to prove me wrong.

dear psil thanks very much for your kindness. what is this about my mom's basement all about? the problem i was faced with is that nelson rockefeller had many very strict laws installed when he was governor of new york regarding drugs and i was charged with an A felony. the judge also did not like me as my hair is long and he was making a name for himself. you are right that i am not that familiar with the newer techniques but i got along fine with the old ones. steve peele at that time was the only person in this country to be able to legally grow cubensis. we used to communicate by written letter and i still have all his correspondences which were quite a few over a period of four years. stay in touch.

dear folks do what you you feel comfortable with. the filters are made of rather thicker type of paper and they used to be readily available and used by most i believe. if you want to use tinfoil and you think it is a good idea then be my guest. also why would i lie about anything that i would post here and what benefit could that do for me? peace and light to you.

Indeed, it was a pleasure to read. As was your first post. It's incredible that you were able to acquire the skills needed to cultivate mushrooms through postal correspondence, especially back then.

If you ran into something you weren't sure of or that was not explained well enough, how did you proceed? Place everything on hold until you heard back from Steve or try to work it out on your own until you heard back?

Thank you for joining us!



thanks alot and i was constantly faced with challenges as i was making compost and i had very large specialized compost piles and i had outdoor and indoor facilities. i was experimenting alot with straw only compost also. i was also experimenting with the rarest strains. i had a larger ceramic tile grow room with separate boxes.

Isn't it? In the PC, if you are using a filter type that requires foil (like cellulose filters, or BRF cakes with a dry verm layer), the foil is in place to keep the water/condensation out. So yea, foil preserves the correct moisture content.


Ron K, I look forward to hearing your experiences in mushroom cult.  :bow:

cronicr said:
are entirely
dependent upon a mushroom’s being oriented
perfectly upright, with the gills or
other hymenophoral elements being completely
parallel to the vector of Earth’s gravity.
Since spores fall along a gravitational
vector, any deviation of hymenophore
alignment from the normal will lead to an
increased number of spores becoming
entrapped within the gills. At the beginning
of the last century, the eminent fungal physiologist
AHR Buller observed that when a
basidiocarp of Agaricus campestris was tilted a
mere 5° from the normal, spore dispersal
was cut in half.
Clearly, a mushroom must have a way of
keeping its hymenophoral elements aligned
to the normal. However, mushrooms are
incapable of locomotion and cannot simply
move their gills into the correct position.
Mushrooms deal with this problem in a similar way as do plants, through mechanisms
known as tropic responses. In a tropic response, the organism grows
toward or away from a stimulus rather than moving toward or away from it.
Tropic responses include phototropism (response to light), gravitropism
(response to gravity), thigmotropism (response to touch or contact), hydrotropism
(response to water), and many other such responses. Tropic responses can
be either positive (growing toward the stimulus) or negative (growing away from
it).
At first, mushroom primordia grow perpendicularly away from the surface from
which they arise, independently of the direction of light or gravity, a response
that may be some kind of negative thigmotropism or negative hydrotropism Soon after emergence, gravitropic
and (in some species) phototropic
responses become active.
The majority of mushroom species
exhibit growth that is negatively
gravitropic along the stipe and positively
gravitropic in the
hymenophore. If a mushroom is tilted
from the normal, it will grow in
such a way that a bend will develop
in the stipe until the mushroom is
again realigned. This bending is key
to the gravitropic response - once
the mushroom stipe is aligned away
from the normal for a specific time
interval (an interval known as the
presentation time, which varies
from one species to another), the
hyphae on the lower surface of an
apical zone on the stipe begin to
elongate more rapidly than those of
the upper surface, leading to bending
of the stem and ultimately the correction
of the mushroom’s alignment.
In the last decade, it has been discovered
that this response actually
has two parts involving two apical
zones. The initial bending response,
which originates at the base of the stipe, often overcompensates
and by itself would tend to leave mushrooms tilted in a
direction opposite to the initial misalignment. There is therefore
a curvature compensation growth response which takes
place in the upper part of the stipe - this represents a fine
adjustment and serves to better align the stipe with the normal.
The positively gravitropic response of the hymenophoral
elements represent a further layer of fine adjustment.
Other tropic responses may modify a mushroom’s gravitropic
growth. Most mushrooms have some kind of negative thigmotropic
response, so that if a mushroom encounters an
object as it is growing, responses such as stipe bending, bifurcation,
or change in the pattern of pileus growth will cause the
mushroom to grow out of the way of the object. (This in contrast
to fungi such as Hydnellum that are characterized by indeterminate
growth and simply envelop foreign objects within
the fruiting body.) Many lignicolous and coprophilous species
show strong positive phototropism throughout their fruiting
cycle, a response that overrides the gravitropic response. (In
one experiment, a Polyporus brumalis basidiocarp was illuminated
from below - the stipe curved 180°, resulting in an upsidePage
2 Mycena News, March, 2003
Mycomorphology
Continued from page 1
down pileus with tubes growing
upward.)
How can we be sure that a mushroom’s
main tropic responses are in
fact responses to gravity? The most
obvious way is to deprive them of
gravity by placing them in the microgravity
conditions of spaceflight.
Such an experiment was, in fact, carried
out in 1993 when cultures of
Flammulina velutipes were sent into
orbit on the joint Space Shuttle
Columbia/Spacelab D-2 mission.
These cultures produced fruiting
bodies with a random orientation,
while similar control cultures on
Earth produced regular verticallyaligned
fruiting bodies.
Since it is clear that mushrooms
respond to gravity, how then do they
sense it? How do they know up
from down? At present, this is
largely unknown, though it has been
surmised from what is known about
the gravity-sensing mechanisms of
animals and plants that it probably
involves some kind of statolith. A
statolith is an organ or cellular
organelle that is more dense than its
surrounding matrix and hence tends
to exert pressure along a gravitational
vector. This pressure is sensed by a
network of fibers, hairs, cytoskeletal
elements, or the like, which transmit this impulse, and ultimately
trigger an ionic, hormonal, or nervous signal.
Our bodies have a complex system of statoliths in our inner
ears. This vestibular system consists of small calcium carbonate-filled
sacs known as otoliths that are surrounded by a network
of nerves and fibers known as the maculae. Pressure on
the macula generates nerve impulses, and these signals, when
processed by the brain, give us our sense of balance. Vertical
and horizontal movements are detected by separate otoliths,
known as the saccule and the utricle, respectively. (There are
also non-otolithic vestibular organs which contribute to the
sensation of movement.)
Plant root cells contain starch granules that act as statoliths -
the pressure gradient of these granules upon the plasma membrane
is thought to in some way trigger a reaction which leads
to the differential distribution of auxin in the root, which stimulates
the upper surface to elongate more rapidly, bending the
root downward.

I have no doubt you did, but as an extremely new member to this community myself, I understand that cultivation knowledge and techniques evolve quite rapidly. Things have changed quite a bit just within the last 15 years. The pace of change can be somewhat detrimental as well, as outdated knowledge is continuously dredged up and proliferated by noobs like myself. Ironically, I think you would benefit from checking out The Noob Forum https://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/235 and particularly this thread https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21448273 .

You should also check out http://www.mushroomvideos.com/BRF-Pf-Tek. RogerRabbit is the man most responsible for the vast majority of the latest mush cult knowledge found throughout the site.
