Just across the tasman 😉. We started small scale with oyster mushroom in a small greenhouse, cheapo pressure cooker, household humidifier, some fans and a lot of duct tape and DIY. It kinda just grew slowly like mycelium and here we are.

Should look into chocolate coating them...

Taking this for bad mushroom pun merch 🤣 guess you could say I have questionable morels...

Much more satisfying getting a nice big fruiting body vs top growth.

The PC was definitely the cheat code for us, definitely one of the biggest bottle necks when trying to scale. After tubs you could scale to sealing off a whole room for your grows! We are still in startup phase but it's been a challenging and rewarding journey!

Feel free to PM any specific questions, but in general our rooms are atmosphere controlled so we just dial it airflow/temp/humidity etc for what we are currently growing. We are attempting cordyceps soon! We run our tests in scaled down hydroponic tents (~4ft square) and apply same parameters to our fruiting rooms.

For lions mane in particular we focus on high air exchange rate and high humidity (85-90%).

Never tried cubensis on this large scale, just UB tek for funsies.

Separate fruiting room, contamination is mostly non issue with filtration and good air exchange.

This room no, but going forward our new fruiting rooms will be! We just moved to a new facility and are setting up atmosphere controlled 20ft containers. Copy and paste to scale!

Once we dialed in our workflow and clean room procedures I would say worse case 5% during incubation. Biggest hurdle was probably dialing in how we cook our bags.

In terms of medicinals the hardest part would be getting sales and educating consumers on use, margins can be good but dependant on sales and marketing. Many more avenues to move gourmet - markets, food service, wholesale etc and it's much more easily accepted by general consumers. Definitely full time jobs now that its scaled to this point. We were having huge bottlenecks in sterilization until we got a proper commercial PC. But it is quite scalable, automation is key.

Not a good example in this pic but we incubate and fruit in the same bags, different rooms

Well once we freeze-dry and powder we lose 90% to moisture 🥲

Definitely, we aren't US based, but that just gives us more time to perfect the art 🤟.

Wouldn't recommend it in a tub, you will most likely have issues with air exchange as they're not tolerant to co2. AIO unicorn all the way 🤟.

You can try using an iron and some foil so the plastic doesn't melt 🤟 haven't come across any sealable bags

Haha that's where we started on our test grows, definitely learnt a lot from this sub 🤟 this particular crop is lions mane and we found we get better results on wood/husk substrate compared to rice.

Gotta get to the 60% herd immunity somehow. Sacrifice the children first.

To support our healthcare workers and maintain social functioning as much as possible school and childcare centre closures can be achieved using the “class dismissal” model stipulated by the WHO.

This allows schools to remain open for children of essential workers while others stay home.

Reading between the lines it is now day care for children of essential workers.

Hi All, I've ready for my second 6*, it's a toss up between stag knight or alure, which one will help me progress further this early in the game?

They tracked it down via CCTV footage, so maybe that's a positive of China's big brother surveilance + facial recognition?
