Always here for your new content! Such a chill leaning environment. Future content request: Lab Reports (spreadsheets galore). Basically, what all do you track and what have you found to be best practices thus far in your lab as far as how often certain things are tracked like temp, humidity, types of inoculation, substate testing, etc. I know this is probably the most boring subject but one of the most important in running any kind of lab. Thanks in advance should you decide to gift us with this knowledge.

This makes me smile so much. Idek why hahaha. Are you hiring staff right now? With all respect and my most honest, I have never seen anyone, at this so young, so passionate, professional (I mean know 200% of the time exactly what they are actually doing), and most of all happy about what u do for a living. After I graduate (Biochemistry), I never get to use my lab skill anywhere (I'm now working in a canned food company). I have always wanted to do farming/gardening, grow trees, grow my own food but also selling them (u know working but feel just like daily routine). I wish I could work somewhere like this, since I like lab work (I still miss them so much) and get to see things grow day by day. What you do is sooo cool! This is my dream job. Hope that one day I might get to this point (as rn I only grow cactus 😄)

Such a nice setup. I'm still in the jar stage. haha

Very impressive communication of the process…. I feel like you could have been a professor or academic at some point in your life…. Thanks so much for explaining the process!

My biggest dream is to visit the mans farm! My brother and I are trying to create a little mushroom project in Africa and we’ve been using these videos to learn. Slowly but surely we will get there. Thanks for all brother you truly inspire a lot of people like us

This is a laboratory environment. May not be the best for what you might be trying to do in Africa. The book Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation by Tradd Cotter has some great info you can use (specifically the chapter on off grid cultivation). The author has done exactly what you are wanting to do.

Thank you for fighting the good fight My friend

Love your videos, just wandering what the additional nutrition is that you add to the cordyceps apart from the medicinal yeast?

we would love a video on the failure side too, like contamination and so on :)

Lol looks like he doesn't experience failure with his huge flow hood setup. Contamination is for hobbyists with still air boxes.

I have been using a long metal spoon to separate the grains in the jar. Never had a problem.

Thanks for your work dude! Could you show how you get the spores and also the process to create the culture with them in the petry dishes? im struggling with that part.

@xMrjamjam

If you have a mushroom you want to get spores from, wet the cap with a small paintbrush and water, remove the stem and place the cap on a piece of paper or some foil that you have wiped down with rubbing alcohol. Cover with a plastic tub and wait 2 to 24 hours, now you'll have more spores than you'll ever need

It has to smell wonderful there

I send all the newbies here for the tek talk that applies to most mycology yes even the ones you thinking of.

it's always super obvious which mushroom growers started as hobbyists and which ones were taught the classic commercial way. This guy loves the science, and isn't just in it for money.

Yeah that brings back some memories, making a glovebox from a clear tub with Playtex gloves taped on, then I found out about something called a Shmovbox, which was just a large clear garbage bag taped over a home hepafilter air cleaner. You just load up the bag with your syringes, agar, jars and spawn, cut two small holes for your arms, turn on the air cleaner which inflates the bag with clean air, mist the inside with a little iso alky and do your work, kind of a ghetto laminar flow hood/glove box combo (and if you recognize that reference we may have a hobby in common, lol). After a while I got my sterile techniques down to the point where I didn't even need the Shmovebox, just used a spare room, all the windows taped to eliminate outside air, same with floor vents. Then, as weird as it sounds, once everything was staged and ready, I'd jump in the shower, use anti-bacterial soap (kept my hair in under a shower cap), then go directly from the shower to the clean room naked, lol, yeah like I said sounds weird, BUT it was just the best way I could think of to avoid bringing any contams into the process.

Welcome to the family, we are glad to have you

This video is really interesting. I’m a new and very amateur mycologist. I’ve just started working with agar and sterilized grain. Cordycepts was very helpful to me 20+ years ago when I was recovering from Pertussis. I’ve just recently been putting my agar grown mycelium to sterilized, hydrated popcorn. Not much activity yet. These jars of popcorn had no activity after 4 weeks from inoculation with a spore syringe, so I just tried inoculating some of them with mycelium from agar. I’m wondering if my popcorn isn’t hydrated enough. But, I’m going to wait a week or so to see what happens. And, I just got 25 pounds of organic rye berries to work with. Impossible to find locally, but easy on the internets. Mostly just using mason jars so far. Your sterile technique was really interesting. I’m currently using oven tech for my sterile environment (thanks, Philly Golden Teacher). But considering building a low cost laminar flow hood (thanks to Willy Myco) . I’ve currently got a bunch of agar dishes going, with several different spores. And I’ve got some grain spawn going, from a couple of different cultures. And a couple of tubs colonizing. I’m just trying several different things, to see what works for me. This video has given me several new ideas. So thanks.😊

Oh, and I’ve had a couple of successful flushes so far. So, this has been a really interesting and rewarding experiment so far.

Really great video and amazing channel, so glad I found you. Quick question, I have one of these bags with millet that wasnt used for a period of time and has dried more than I would like for use. It has an inoculation injection point. My question is could I use a sterile syringe and inject some demineralised/distilled water into the bag followed by my liquid culture to make sure it has the moisture it needs to inoculate the bag?
