Chicken manure at 5% max used to get me MONSTERS. I'm curious why the pan growers aren't utilizing that for fun. Maybe they are but I haven't come across it yet.


There's chicken manure in the compost I use, which is formulated for agaricus.  But by the time I get it, microbes have transformed it into shelf stable mushroom food.

Capsules.


When filling capsules, is it absolutely necessary to weigh the amount for every capsule, or can I simply powder mushroom, fill and tamp, and call it good?  As in, each one should weigh a similar amount...

If you calculate how much powder you need, it's pretty simple. A 00 cap holds about 0.4g, so that x number of capsules your machine can hold = starting amount.

I always just try to spread it around evenly as possible, tamp well, repeat until they are full. After the 1st tamp, you can see which ones have more or less. Spread more powder to the emptier ones, tamp, repeat.

My first few batches I would weigh a few random ones to see how consistent they were, usually they are close enough for gummint work.

Any idea what this is?
I did G2G from the same jar of grain to 8 jars of fresh grain. The other 6 jars are perfect but these 2 have this black stuff in them.
Why would only 2 get contaminated out of the eight? All jars were hydrated and PC'd at the same time. All transfers were done in the same SAB at the same time also.

Same. I pack the hell out of them (occasionally breaking a couple), then when I'm done, I'll throw 10-20 capsules on the scale and take an average. Good enough for the girls I date, anyway.

Once moisture is introduced you gotta freeze or consume asap

There should be enough citric acid to combat oxidization.

I use lemon juice to keep my fruit art and guac from turning brown via oxidization

If I have jars I am sterilizing early (probably a week) do I tighten the lid until I inoculate or leave the lid cracked by 1/4 turn??

They are quart jars of brown rice.

Patiently waiting for nichrome

But I bet it’s either Aspergillus or Cladosporium both common house molds that are like that.

Prolly aspergillus you got black mold in the basement or bathroom? Some species of aspergillus are harmful, but it’s likely not so don’t freak out. Still wouldn’t open it.

I’ve kept tea in my fridge for a while and it was still active. I feel like freezing may be more damaging than fridge? Maybe I’m wrong.

But once it’s dissolved in the water depending on how it’s kept it’s gonna only oxidize so much, layers should form for some protection, and only so much oxygen is dissolved in the water
