One of the best mushroom channels on UA-cam.
This channel has redeemed UA-cam for me. Mush love
Just adding this comment to show appreciation and support 🫠
Best learning tool on UA-cam!! I appreciate YOU!
Love love your content..
Also…Tip: if u wet a paper towel and use that across your gloved hand u can tamp down the silicone it wont stick to gloved finger
Great content and I appreciate your humor. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with the world!
Great videos! I look forward to seeing more of your work!!
I love the video and am looking forward to more from you. Thank you for the easy directions. I also like that you give the reason for why something is done. Keep that up in future videos please!
Your videos helped fill in some gaps in my knowledge and make DIY mushroom cultivation very accessible ble.
"Because.... I like prime numbers." 😆 I'm dying. I know what you meant
Good work man!!
What a nice guy and top tier tutorials. Gonna start my first grow soon
Thank you.
Love this channel
Great vid!
Instead of just polyfill I use needle caps, y cut the end to make a tube and stuff the tube with polyfill. It makes it tighter and since the tube is longer it's more difficult for contams or or liquid to get in or out. You can even shake the jars since polyfill is hydrophobic
splendid
Commenting just to show support for our goofy myco homie
i also like prime numbers.
Is that a Unicorn bag? If not, is there a type of bag you'd recommend for more advanced growers? Also, glad to see you posting! Love the work so far! Keep up the good work. :)
Yep, I have always used Unicorn bags and they have always worked perfectly for me. Always get a type T filter for making spawn. Stay tuned for a whole video on bags!
Question on the plastic lids. The ones I typically buy have a clear rubber gasket that fit in a groove for sealing. You said your are flat. So do they not have the gasket with the groove? Love your channel!!
Maybe a soon in photo of the inside of the lid. … I love prime numbers.. ha
For the alternative case i cant get access that one, can i use the fiter paper for coffee filter and double it?
Really no comments about the dude sneaking past the window =P 7:10
Great videos, Love em.
Hi iam your regular viewer. I love to watch your videos. could you please help me. Can I use air tight Jam jar for LC?
Have you experience with micropore tape seems it would be more cost effective than polyfill and easier to apply, thanks for the video, im about to go make my first lids.
Yes, micropore tape is great for monotub filters where contamination is far less of a problem, but it does not offer enough protection for grain.
If you rely on it for jar filtration, you will have mold issues. A cheap pillow is less than $4 at walmart and contains enough polyfill to make hundreds of lids!
Not to be that contrarian, but I've used micropore tape with less issues than polyfill. I do not advice against Fungaia's wisdom, but in my situation, I've got the same 85%-95% success rate. I also make sure to double the tape up and it is a PAIN to clean off of the lids for the next batch. I also will put all of my inoculated jars into my Martha tent inside of an isolated room that is always kept CLEAN . I'm sure that it doesn't hurt that I live in the frozen north where 1/2 of the year is frozen and there just aren't as many contam issues to worry about at that time. If I were starting over again, I think that I play around a few times with micropore tape and after a couple of adventures and mis adventures, switch over to the thick filter pads. They look pretty bomber! Mush love, all!
Great info!
Another place one can get plastic Mason jar lids is from small 16oz peanut butter containers.
A much better option for a DYI injection port is employing the use of RTV rather than silicone. Also, I would not suggest those filter discs. Instead I would suggest the implementation of a syringe filter. It will keep the container water tight, and still allow for FAE and pressure/vacuum equilibrium when you draw LC with syringes. This guys methods are ok, but there are much better options for LC jar lids, in my opinion.
This was a very thoughtful and informative video. Thank you very much, amigo.
I am not a fan of the foolhardy scientist bit, but I love your channel otherwise. Thanks much
hi, do you guys think its a good idea to just close the aeration hole with some micropore tape? instead of the microfiber, it seems safer, or theres no need/drawbacks? thank you
In the video you stated there's a link to the filters used. I didn't see the link. Can you provide the name and vendor?
Yes the company is called Microppose.

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge dude
Very generous and kind soul

Hi! Cotton works as well as the poliéster filter?
Yes, cotton filters work too!
Does any one breed barvaria basiana soil fungus for agriculture ?????
Has puncturing the filter with the syringe ever caused you contamination problems further on down the cultivation road?
Wondering the same.
No, as long as the silicone seals against the filter, the injection port will protect the hole that the needle makes.
If you peel the filter and silicone apart, you'll need to reapply the silicone to reseal the hole.
Watch the window at 7:11 - hilarious
Bro what is up with your hammer? 2:54
