U could wipe them down with ozinated water  to "sterilize" them.

Spectacular grow Marty!!!!

I believe sterilizing reishi would be for wild picked specimens. To kill any insect eggs.
They may go hidden away, unnoticed for over a year, until all of a sudden  ...bugs!

Here's some quotes I wish I had found earlier.

I had some dried reishi that hatched out a few thousand of the bastards over the winter.  We're still killing them..lol

RogerRabbit said: We always bake the reishi we collect in the wild for at least 12 hours at 200F as soon as we get them dry.  The reason is to kill off the insect eggs that are always inside wild picked fruits before they can hatch out.  We once had our entire condo infested with thousands of tiny bugs that hatched out of a batch of Ganoderma oregonese before we started doing that.  I'm sure that's why your customs wants to do it as well.  It's smart on their part to protect your local environment.

Raven44, again I am so sorry the dried wild G. tsugae I sent you eventually hatched out bugs. I (still) feel like a real piece of shit over that.

Thnks Forage:thumbup:

I think mine are good, all of the bags smelled terrific, just some of that powdery stuff on some fruits.

One thing I will note about these bags is that the bags with heavy pinsets just grew straight up and uniform, and the bags with smaller pinsets got the coolest looking and biggest fruits.

The white powdery stuff on the antlers is a natural response to low airflow. It is common in bag grows.

Thanks, foraged.

Update: The "sterilized reishi" resource I had in mind was Chapter 23 of GGMM. "Some cultivators actually sterilize their dried mushrooms, without harm, to prolong storage. Sterilization assures no bacteria, insect eggs, or other microorganisms consume the crop when stored for prolonged periods of time. Once dried, the mushrooms should be hermetically sealed, and ideally frozen until needed."

I started with 6 6# pound bags of spawn and also a bunch of quart jars of spawn, I can't remember how many of those I expanded and just used straight to sawdust?
I was using a good amount of spawn I believe, like 1/2 # per bag.
I will go back through my notes later and see If that is correct:thumbup:

And don't worry about talking about ANYTHING in this thread, I want it full of as much information as possible:cheers:
