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) 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 . 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

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.
