Every day I go out there and groan and bitch my way through a wood-splitting session or drop some trees and somewhere throughout it clicks in my head how lucky I am to have all the chips and dust I could possibly use, and I brighten up considerably...  :airguitar:

Can't wait to delve into oysters again and really get something kicking when the temps warm up here.  Keeping them from critters without enough bins= the current challenge.  Gonna be running some agaricus soon and luckily we have plenty of friendly horse owners nearby.  Wild straw substitues everywhere. Moose have been dropping by every other day or so now as well so am close to starting my moose poop experiments (not with edibles though).  There are so many raw materials to be used... Wanted to use some of these spruce-dominant chips to start some wine caps but due to coronavirus I won't be able to go to Anchorage to pick up the spawn i saw on CL.  So angery...  Guess I'll have to start my apocalype growing after the apocalypse. :tryingnottodie:  Definately looks possible I'll be finding alternatives to toilet paper before I worry about running out of ways to cultivate mush.  Back on point though... it's like... a super great hobby for barebones times if you have a few key items.  I've actually been wrapping my mind around doing a sort-of-for-laughs tek for people who want to grow mushrooms in Alaska using like an old cast iron pan under the woodstove to dry moose turds, using fireweed stalks instead off straw, growing them in a coffee can, etc lol.  It's a lot of fun to think about the different ways we can improvise and adapt.

I just fired up a dry ass crispy plate of 3 plus year old oysters to celebrate the apocalypse: I’ll probably grow on yard mulch collected and use old grocery bags for spawn bags.

I've read you can keep cultures alive for years by just throwing
some agar wedges into a jar of sterilized water to float. Anyone
care to enlighten me?

Oysters are risilliant. This particular culture grew up into a puffball and hit the lid.

I'd rather throw a culture on a slant with a craft stick in it and be sure it's stored right. You can also store a culture in mineral oil to keep it going but again. Slant. :thumbup:

I figured slants are the best way to go. I just thought the water idea
sounded neat.

Also, it's worth considering the fact that there may be no long term storage of mycelium due to power grid failure and gas shortages. Spores would be the only long term storage.

True getting back to this threads subject matter. Long term storage
would become a challenge. We need to invent the solar flowhood

Or get SAB game on lock. Lmao.
For cold storage a cellar could be made with cultures and food, packed in straw for long term storage and stocked with ice blocks during the winter. I watched a video about it on YouTube a while back they said this storage method would give them cold storage damn near clear through the summer I don't really remember the exact details though or what there climate was like just thought it was interesting.
