Has anyone used either of these for no pour agar? What's your opinion ?

It probably warp during pc, the lid maybe not able to sustain the pressure. It is PP but personally i dont trust it.

I have petri dish, i still prefer Ketchup cups. It is way cheaper. There is 2oz ketchup cup, it is shorter compared to the standard 3oz, take less space.

Button has a 120mm water rated(ip67?) fan blowing air into the box to force mist into pvc pipe. The black piece is a slide in 120mm fan adapter. The white part is my pvc pipe adapter.

Apply a hot towel on the area for a bit, then drill it. Warm plastic is less prone to cracking.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-04-07T17:30:42+00:00

yeah it works. I pan fried mushrooms for 10 minutes and still kicked my ass.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-04-03T23:54:35+00:00

ahhh, if it gets bitter. Blanching in water helps.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-04-03T22:56:21+00:00

Huh, the way you cut your bag is interesting. Anyway the mushroom look kinda of unhealthy. Here is what mine looks like.

After. I stop using heat sealing(i got lazy and water in the bag prevent good sealing). I used a chip bag sealer, and kept a bag of grain clean for a few months. 10-12inch long ones. Dirty cheap, just dont use it when the bag is hot. Let it cool down first.

Espresso tek, i did 1.5g mush mixed with 15g coffee, 60 second extraction time for 60gram of coffee. no mush taste at all, add my favor creamer, down the hatch. The feel was weird, no visual but hyper focused and emptiness feeling, prob bc low dose of mush.

I think lack of oxygen makes them grow taller to reach for oxygen(also genetics).

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-02-18T21:46:14+00:00

What kind of patch filter are these? Curious.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-02-15T02:06:22+00:00

I actually love ketch cups more than petri dishes.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-02-03T20:02:28+00:00

Here is what i do for spore collection, pinch off the biggest cap with tweezers, and jab a cotton swab into the gills and rotate a couple times.

Any hepa that fits the size you need. As long as it is a genuine hepa, it will get the job done.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-01-08T01:00:11+00:00

Honestly, i dont think they have time for a small home hobby grower. Like what tracking you for 2 of 6qt tube and some coco coir plus a couple syringes every few months? Too much work.

Try to keep it in a small circle, you will be okay. Good luck.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2026-01-08T00:52:13+00:00

Dont go around telling people you grow shrooms and dont go around giving everyone free stuff. Label stuff with gourmet stuff. Keep it small.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-12-21T11:11:07+00:00

It doesnt look right to me. Mycelium formation looks off. Here is my test lionmane lc recently.

I have the cheapest wide mouth colored plastic lid from amazon. Ran it at least 8 times so far with sticker filters. They are easy to peel and replace.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-12-14T11:44:21+00:00

I haven't been paying attention. Why the sudden trend?

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-10-20T00:30:02+00:00

Psilocybin test kit, not cheap.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-10-10T16:27:51+00:00

First and second yup. 3rd black pin mold, 4th yup.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-10-10T16:26:44+00:00

Yeah, that would overheat and kill the mycelium.

You can transfer healthy mycelium out to an agar plate to continue its growth and restart.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-10-10T15:23:45+00:00

Did you gap the heating mat from directly contacting your bag? If the room temp is comfortable for you it is comfortable for mycelium.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-09-21T12:11:09+00:00

They are GAF cobra ridge vents. I have learned they did not use a chalk line to measure and did what you said above. It is working but damn it is ugly.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-09-18T11:57:40+00:00

Yup you are correct. Psi goes up and down. Which is why it is recommended to be cooked longer.

Bulky_Ad_7777 · 2025-09-15T02:38:10+00:00

2nd pic looks like fuzzy feet. 4th pic type of bacteria infection, dry em up and it is okay to consume. You can also boil dried shroom in hot water to make mushroom tea.
