I’m close to making my first spore print with my first mushroom, but I’m confused on timing. This one has no veil and near flat cap, but it hasn’t dropped any spores that I can see. Do I take it now or wait?

It has its place. I run hepa filtration 24/7 in my dedicated mycology “lab” to keep the air generally cleaner. I kill all airflow in the lab, including the hepa filtration, 1hr before I use the still air box and have no problems. If I mess up and stir the air too much, at least it’s already cleaner air.🤷

They look more like the weaker two of the six plates with less rope like myc. What do folks do when that occurs? Transfer the best sections to a new plate or start over with a germination plate from MSS? Attaching a pic of the weaker plates again for reference.

I’m in no rush, so what I do is let plates grow out until they pin. Then, once that mycelium outcompetes it’s brothers and proves it can fruit, I transfer that pin to a new plate and send that to grain when it grows out.

Proposition 122 said: My Nesco is only 425 watts but heats to (non-adjustable) 180-degrees. Isn't this too hot? I haven't used it on mushrooms yet (only apples) but 180 seems awfully hot. What is the upper limit without damaging the little critters? 
That temp will degrade the alkaloids a bit, but so will 160°F. It’s more important to dry them fast than worry about temp.
The mushrooms are acidic to begin with and once harvested, they absorb co2 from the air which causes rapid degradation via carbonic acid hydrolysis, et al, so get the water out fast. Alternatively, psilocybin/psilocin are stable under basic conditions, so making a tea, etc with potable tap water, which is buffered, will stop most degradation other than oxidation.

I had tons of side pins on my shoeboxes and just let them grow squished. It was a pain and I regret not pulling it out to set in a monotub. My vote is definitely to take it out.

I mean those start degrading at much much higher temperatures. 150c/257f still have 0% degradation effect so...they are ultra safe in any dehydrator - please don't tell people it will degrade from heat when it won't. That's just common misbelief.
To the best of my knowledge and applicable peer reviewed studies, I gave correct information in that post. Of course I, along with any of those studies could be wrong, so can you elaborate? I’m all for learning here.🙂

Sure, glad to help. I just have these citations handy, but a google search should pull them. I edited to add these to a previous post as well.

Nef said: Thanks but I am not sure if they support your point
The degredation of alkaloids they discuss starting from 100°C is discussing alkaloids in solution of given solvent
I mean they talk about drying fruit bodies in the dark at room temperature as being the optimal for alkaloid preservation? We know from experience that is simply not the case. They did not dry any fruit bodies at dehydrator temps in the study
So while I appreciate you providing the link I don't understand how that supports your assertion that heat ruins potency when drying
I think the opposite is true. Heat causes drying to occur faster, thus preserving most of the potency, not ruining it.

Bingo.
The rules are simple: Upon harvest dry immediately, hot, for long enough, and keep away from light and air and moisture. No food dehydrator has a setting that will degrade mushrooms.
There are lots of “feelings” about harming the precious fruits.
Don’t. Just don’t. We baby them from spore to pin but once they’re cut they are ready to face the world. After we take the water out.
Dry quickly, hot, long, then protect from the elements.
Exactly!

Either way, it showed a very low level of degradation at 75°c, or ~165 ish. Like... 5-10% compared to lower numbers, I think that's more confirmation that we're correct in basically ignoring that minimal degradation.
I don't know why the image doesn't want to link directly, but the table from the study with temps is linked below the study now.
Yep, that’s exactly what I said in my original post. For some reason a lot of people keyed in on me saying dehydrating causes a bit of degradation, which is true, but it’s still the best practical way to preserve.

3.2 and figure 1 of the study shows a quick summary.

Smellyhobbit said: That’s the part we’re honing in on, yes. But it isn’t the dehydration temps that cause it. It’s the fact that they’re sitting picked in a dehydrator and they’re not dry yet. Temps aren’t the issue.
Gotcha! So the general consensus is that wet at any temp is equally bad? I was under the impression that the hydrolysis was accelerated by heat, but that the minimal degradation due to the extra heat was less than the increased time wet at lower temps.

Edit: QQ - Do you guys think when shaking jars pretty hard, the grains coming in contact with the SFD from the inside could cause a jar to become bacterial?

If a jar becomes bacterial from shaking grains against the SFD, then it was a bad SFD. A .3 mic SFD has pores that are one quarter the size of even the smallest known bacteria.

Got my discs and lids. Going to prep them up to the RTV. Walmart doesn’t have anything, unsurprisingly. I’ll just Amazon it. Won’t be able to prep for a few days anyway.
Autopart store near you will have it. Autozone or oreileys?

Reminds me of the guy who got hospitalized in the intensive care unit and almost died after he injected himself with shroom tea and the mycelium started to colonize him.
