Why do we tend to drool when passed out from being very tired, as opposed to "planned" sleep?

unsolicited opinion but I'm a big instant pot fan.  it won't have the same capacity as some pressure cookers but it can do every relevant part of mycology will also make you amazing food.

My pressure canner makes me all kinds of amazing food. Probably more food than mushrooms. You’re just doing it wrong if you think a PC can’t.

I didn't say anything about a pressure cooker's ability to make food and I'm sure they're great but generally speaking an instant pot can do everything a pressure cooker can plus a whole lot more.  the instant pot community is enthusiastic and active, so there's a million great recipes out there. 

the major difference from a mycology standpoint is that instant pots top out somewhere between 12-15psi depending on the model, so you have to adjust your sterilization times, and old fashioned style pressure cookers are often much higher capacity.  one thing the instant pot can easily do that a PC can't (easily) is pasteurization.  the "keep warm" setting on the instant pot is the perfect temp and you have a timer and a sealed environment.  ok I'm done simping for instant pots (for today)

this is a great all-in-one guide for using an instant pot for mycology.  mycophilia is one of maybe 2-3 youtubers that I think really knows wtf he's doing but what do I know?

I drool during all sleep, you gotta step it up b.

If I were to venture a guess though I'd say during planned sleep you're more relaxed and your body is in a more optimal position whereas passed out is in much less optimal positions. Passed out usually involves substances as well So that could change your breathing habits resulting in more mouth breathing. Open mouth=more drool

A buddy of mine has a spider farmer brand grow tent for sale. About 3'x5'x6'. I'm considering buying it for cultivating some of the non-cube varieties that require temp control. Its only the tent for sale. No lights or anything extra. Do you think it would be a handy piece of equipment for any sort of mush cult?

ACC. A genetic that produced a 210g specimen that a fellow shroomerite sent me a wedge to work with. Put it on agar, then A2G, then 2:4 ratio to coir with a 1/2” of coir top layer. Got some pins and never worked with anything like this before. What am I looking at, pins or blobs? What do I do next?

Anyone using induction heating with their PC? Results ?

Yep, works well. Plus I can set a timer so it will shut off automatically.
Also has a temp probe so you can pasteurize easily with it. I still haven’t tried that yet since I have a sous vide.
