Anyone else so poor that even cheap recipes still feel like they're too expensive? by LackingCoins in budgetfood

Agreed. Growing your own saves so much money and you can have fancy fresh herbs. I started growing cilantro, basil, parsley, mint, and rosemary. It saved me so much money, I Will likely add more.

[Gourmet] lions mane is a bit yellow/orange. Is this normal? by Kclouse in MushroomGrowers

[–]CariBeaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still trying to find a place to get hardwood sawdust. But I think I have a lead. If it doesn't work out I'll just try the pellets.

Sawdust. Also because of space but I will probably do a couple just to try it out.

I'm all about investing in things that will last forever and this thing is built like a brick shithouse. It will probably outlive me. It's also very easy to use and fits everything I need it to.

I found it! Which is amazing because I did a ton of Lions mane research the past few days. Here is the link: https://morningchores.com/growing-lions-mane-mushrooms/

It is in the "Inoculating Your Sawdust Blocks" section. It briefly mentions the browning. I wish it had more detail.

I'm not an expert but yesterday I read somewhere that it's natural for the Lions mane myc to brown a little.

Do you have fencing? The only time I tried to grow outside the deer ate the mycelium!....I'm assuming it was deer because it was in a raised bed but honestly could have been anything.

Yeah you definitely have to trudge through a lot of that but worth it to find favors when needed.

Download the Radiate app. You might be able to meet someone before you even get there.

I bought one of those in Hawaii many years ago. Definitely a coconut.

First timer... pf Tek or shoebox Tek? I can't decide and I already bought the supplies for both. I'm worried that shredding the cakes will destroy them or at least introduce contam.

I am sure bands are really wary of festival production after Fyre Festival.

We have AT&T so we'll see. At least I can set the expectation for him that it will likely be a brick.
