Gas exchange for myc vs. shrumes
    #3108141 - 09/08/04 01:11 PM (19 years, 6 months ago)

Is gas exchange for incubation as important as it is for fruiting? I got a hydropod built and ready to go, my air pump has an extra adapter and I was wondering if running one into my incubation chamber would help anything.

it wont hurt but its not a biggie.Turning the jars upside down 1/2 way through has always worked fine.And having an airpu,mp in your incubation chamber will help circulate the air so that if you have alot of stacked jars tthere wont be hot and cool spots,but again its not a nessscetity.I was keeping jars in my ceiling where the had little air exchange and they grew just fine.

Butternut squash are softer than acorn or other types of squash, which makes them easier to cut and prepare.

kronnyQ Welcome first off! :laugh: Just would like to mention you'll want to learn the difference from the beginning so as not to be confused as far as FAE (fresh air exchange) and gas exchange these are two separate things to the mycologist and the experienced growers :wink: GL and pay attention and you'll be kicking some shroomin ass!!!!

Gas exchange: The ability to release builtup gases resulting from the myc's metabolic activity (consuming substrate). A result of this inability to release these gas creates EXCESS myc piss which BTW is a normal process (myc piss) but an excess is not, it can easily stall a cake. (do not lick your cakes or leave your holes taped) :wink:

FAE (fresh air exchange) is the lowering of the co2 concentration through the introduction of fresh air plain and simple. A good fresh air exchange includes the stagnated moisture pockets of the casing surface (microclimate).
Now were on the same page. :wink:

hyphae, perhaps you could clarify. It seems like an imaginary difference to me. It all fits plenty fine under the title "air exchange".

this is one of the things that makes it obvious to all who have grown shrooms that you FF have not :pimpslap: :nutkick:

so please stop and try to save yourself a little dignity :ooo:

OK, since you can't explain, you decide to insult me... That's pretty damn weak by any standards.

Your inablity to explain things and your lack of capitalization and punctuation make it painfully obvious that you have a poor grasp of the english language, but you should still at least attempt to have a point.

Settle down, people.

Fresh air exchange is where you introduce fresh air, regularly, and as a side effect blow the CO2 (and the rest of the air) out of the container. This requires some active method like an air pump or humidifier or simple fanning that causes an active air flow. You are replacing the CO2 (and all the rest of the air) with fresh air.

Gas exchange is where it happens more passively, such as with upside down jars or CO2 drain holes (without use of pumps or other active methods of adding 'fresh' air), where the CO2 "exchanges" out but you don't force it out by adding more air from somewhere. Of course air seeps back in to replace the CO2 but nowhere near exchanging the bulk of all air in the enclosure. Mostly, whatever air that is in there will stay there as-is unless it's heavier (such as the CO2).

Or so I believe. Yes, subtle difference, but a difference none the less. Nothing to argue about, if you see them as being the same then fine, but technically they are not the same. Both get rid of the CO2, so in that respect yeah they are the same. But one doesn't replace a large part of the stagnant non-CO2 air with new air.

Thank you Spudz76 for that well reasoned response. I only wish there were more people like you. People who are both polite and can capitalize and punctuate. Too often people who can't even type properly go out of their way to be dicks.

Perhaps you should think about becoming a mod here?

I definitely hang out enough, and tend to enjoy trying to keep the peace.  I don't know if I deserve that, yet, though.  If enough others think so then sure, I'd do it and be proud.

And actually haven't even fruited my first grow (though, pmp was set up over the last two days, so maybe in two weeks...) I just read and comprehend lots and try not to post if I'm not more than 80% sure I know what I'm saying, or have a somewhat legit question which I can't find the answer to.  My reg date (August 2nd) was actually my first foray into mycology at all.  So far, I love it to death.  Likely going to do some other edibles/gourmets too, Oysters look like fun.

And sorry for the unintentional hijack, kronnyQ.  Though your original question was well covered already it seems.

Actually gas exchange has nothing to do with getting rid of co2 you guys really do not understand what is going on do you :frown: . During incubation you want high levels of CO2 that is not the reason behind taking the tape off or flipping the jars Spudz You guys need to go back and reread what the difference actually is. Lets get on the same page guys, are you here to learn or to argue? Close Spudz but no cigar! :wink: I am not impressed with the learning curve here. :sad: This is not directed at you either Spudz.

Quite correct.  Note I said if others thought so, then I would be proud to step up to the honor.  I did not say I thought so, in particular, in fact I said mosly the opposite.

"Arguing on the Internet is like the Special Olympics: Even if you win, you're still retarded."

I am here to learn, and as a byproduct to help others using the gained knowledge. Learning becomes more difficult when you read ten incomplete explanations or definitions of something only to find out later that you misunderstood them all, or that five of them were almost completely misinformation or speculation. Also learning becomes less likely when people correct you with a simple "wrong! go read more" rather than actually explaining why you are not correct (especially if you got it mostly right).

If hyphae could explain himself he probably would have. IMO he's just BSing and making up imaginary definitions. Even if he's not, he explained himself so poorly as to actually sound ignorant on the subject.

The only thing I can think of is that he is trying to make some obscure point about a difference between air exchange and gas diffusion.

I believe my definitions were put in very simple terms what aren't you understanding FF? Colonizing jars optimally will have co2 levels at 10,000+ PPM and do not require any FAE. This just may be over your head perhaps if you cannot understand something so simple? I know take a ziplock bag and put something rotting in it and seal it up as the metabolic activity of the bacteria consume there will be gases released and the bag will "bloat" the same as roadkill does or some dumbass that goes swimming drunk. We all here know who's the ingnorant one here FF have you no pride? You really act more like a troll than an experienced grower, Your constant attacking is not welcome here. Please your not helping the forum and we need you as a contributing member not someone with a chip on their shoulder. BTW we IP ban trolls at The Nook :wink:

Perhaps you should reread the thread. I have been asking for clarification and you have been responding with flames. You are the one being the troll here.

I think I understand the point you attempted to make. Instead of "gas exchange" you should have said pressure release, which is hardly the same thing. I believe your point was that, in jars, gas is released rather than being exchanged.

Had you corrected your mistake and clarified what you were trying to say we could have avoided hearing all of your complaining about me. Please try to be more constructive in the future.

>We all here know who's the ingnorant one here FF

Indeed we do.

maybe hyphea wasnt quite as clear as he should ahve been, you also have the same problem fred, lets drop the impending flame war and continue with the subject at hand.

I'm sure we are all adult enough to manage that.
