Are impulse sealers like the vacuum sealers without the vacuuming?

What do you know about injecting a bit of argon or nitrogen into the bags before you seal them?

---

Pretty much yes.


And no. I dont have experience with the argon or nitrogen but I have heard of it as well.

---

I went down the rabbit hole today on this. Argon you can get in cans from the Zon, kinda like the cans you use to blow dust out of a keyboard or other electronics with. One of its uses is for preserving food, wines and liquors. It is heavier than air so you can spray it in the bags upright to displace the air, seal the ziploc and then hermetically seal it with a heat/impulse sealer. This dramatically increases shelf life of food products.

That sounds dope I bet you could add some to dry shrooms to stop oxygenation.

That's actually what I was wanting to ask about. Yesterday I broke and shook 2 jars of Pink Buffalo cubensis and one jar had a spot that at first turned blue then a sorta greenish color. I was worried it was mold but by this morning the mycelium grew back and its fluffy white again. It was only one spot that did that is the mycelium fighting mold or is this just bruises and oxidation I haven't seen any yellow myco pee yet so I thought it was bruises but didn't know it turns sorta blue green. I thought only Pan was so potent the mycelium bruises.

In regards to extremely Consolidated spawn.

I like to use this canning tool



to dig my way through and break up the spawn.  instead of banging and shaking the shit out of it. The little teeth  on it work perfectly.


Would that be considered bad practice? Should I be worried about destroying the myc or anything like that? Or is it okay?


So far I haven't had any issues. But I'm wondering if it could be diminishing the performance in any way?

Here is a question for people:

Do you sometimes get colder when doing this?

I dont mean freezing cold or sick or anything, but I seem to get a little cold doing this at times.  I even keep a Slanket next to the couch where I like to sit most times.

I always figured it was a blood pressure thing or something, like the yawning.

Disclaimer: I have an IQ of 48 and dk shit about human biology.

Edit: Nvm, I think yawning is related to shallow breathing when you're tired...maybe. Idk. Idek why I'm still typing...

Are you down with ACC? Yeah you know me!

My ACC shoebox is acting like it's trying to pin but they look odd. Is this what blobs look like?

---

Mine blobbed and then turned into beautiful shrooms! Look at the pic of them today. They are becoming chonkers!
