gas exchange is for a colonizing substrate. all living things give off heat/o2(right?) and that needs to go somewhere. if your jar/bag is all sealed up
gases cant escape and junk.

fresh air exchange is uhh like breathing.

im sure i could of googled it but im too drunk right now.

10 years ago, hyphae said...

Gas exchange: The ability to release builtup gases resulting from the myc's metabolic activity (consuming substrate). A result of this inability to release these gas creates EXCESS myc piss which BTW is a normal process (myc piss) but an excess is not, it can easily stall a cake. (do not lick your cakes or leave your holes taped) :wink: Simply put it's an exchange in values.

FAE (fresh air exchange) is the lowering of the co2 concentration through the introduction of fresh air plain and simple. A good fresh air exchange includes the stagnated moisture pockets of the casing surface (microclimate).

Ok so basically Gas exchange is expiration and FAE is inspiration ( i'm not used to this term, english is not my mother's tongue after all ^^).

Funny what you say about the tape, it's true that on the bag there's a micron filter which is taped when you receive the bag. I thought to get off the tape but some glu stayed on the micron filter ... I tried to remove it but only managed to pierce some holes in the micron filter :crazy: . So i let it as is ( i was so paranoid of contamination at that time).

Now a let the bag fully opened for 30 mins/ one hour a day( instead of the paranoid 2 minutes of the beginning) and the myc seems to like that, white is now spreading all over the cake surface and new tiny heads re-appear) !

Thank you for the advice guys :thumbup:

I have harvested the second flush last night :



It took 2 weeks between the first and second flushes. Durging the second i let the bag opened roughly 1 hour a day. I guessed it was better than the 2 minutes written in the box manual ^^.
But i noticed something annoying : the cake has shrinked after the first flush, nothing more normal after all the shrooms ate. But there was now a little space between the cake surface and the box so ... shrooms grew this way too, not having enough space to produce good heads though : i think this lowered yields : I only had 50 grams (1.8 oz) this time (90 gr/3.2 oz the first time).

I remembered reading that shrooms needed light to guide the head growing, so i decided to cover box side with aluminium so that the lighting is only on the top and not on the side. I wondered if that will be efficient. What do you think ?



Also the was a tiny heads whom the hat has a weird color i think, can it be contams ?




Anyway the second harvest :



Put in my newly bought dehydrator :



I set the temperature to 50 °C (120 F) . Let's see how musch time it will takes.
