    I think those extra colors aren't all too undesirable. They're, by and large, indigenous bacteria while the whites are fungi. I could be wrong, but in my eyes you want a fair mix of it ALL!!! Awesome job by the way :)

    Life unfolds to the beat of the golden ratio. When you are trying to orchestrate nature, make sure you are not playing out of tune. Like baking a cake if all the ingredients are in the correct proportions it tastes great. It may still bake with too much salt but no one will be going back for seconds. Keep up the good work!

      Definitely keeping this in mind- that's why it may appear I am moving so slowly in certain ways. If something feels out of rhythm, it's always best to reflect on why and honor that, even if you don't have a "rationale" in the moment. :)

    The white fuzzy stuff is mycelium. The off white portions are mold. To culture the mycelium only a sterile portion is sufficient. When mycelium runs its usually a day. If any longer, mold & other bacteria growth occurs. The sterile portion can then be added to a sterile media like oats, wood, saw dust or a sugar solution. It then can run fully and completely. There are couple of hundred strains found but 2 types of mycelium ectomycorrhizal & endomycorrhizal are most beneficial for creating the network chains in garden soils.

    • @VeronicaFlores
      @VeronicaFlores  2 роки тому

      Mycelium is highly dependent on conditions - also different species have different inoculation times. Not looking for completely sterile here, but rather, a balanced collection of microbes as a seed culture.

      It's possible! There are also lignin digesting mycelium in this part of the forest that are that orange, though they don't tend to get that level of coverage on substrate in less than a week. I read somewhere that it's potentially iron oxide from whatever bacteria excretes that I think?, which isn't technically a harmful addition, so I'm rolling with it. 🙂

Enzymes also are in suspension making for a jolly good nutritional drink. Add chopped comfrey leaves to it and you have a fine brew for any plant. Small breweries give away their dregs and wort so you can get that for your use...free. What part of the country are you in?

    how much real estate do you intend to innoculate once you do the oats?

    • @VeronicaFlores
      @VeronicaFlores  2 роки тому +1

      I'm not entirely sure- I tend to use it pretty sparingly as I prep new beds, and it's already mixed with native soil and compost (which I've never really measured, I've mostly done by feel)

    OK, techosaur strikes again. Went into instagram and found a start of a pod cast. You posted the good stuff doesn't start until minute 40...no wait 36. Then it went away. That made me a collicky baby. How do I get the rest ?
    I JUST GOT MY 2005 JETTA BACK !!!! We have way to much in common. You had to farm. I had to go to Alaska, but trust me; it's the same emotion. (I had 2 nervous breakdowns living in corporate America.)
    Anyway, you have 4 platforms to monitor, does this work better or is there something I can comment on with instagram ? I've been digging in your archives and found a link to somebody with knowledge of plastic eating mushrooms. THAT excites me.
    Have you ever looked into "Bio-char" for soil reclamation ?

    • @VeronicaFlores
      @VeronicaFlores  5 років тому +1

      Fungi ARE exciting!!! Looking into biochar a lot lately... thinking I can use the coals from a well managed pit smoker, but still researching.
      Probably saw the podcast in Instagram stories? Here's the link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-action-jack-podcast/id1453797109?i=1000440643538
      Best places for back and forth convos are Patreon (@veronicaflores), Instagram, and Facebook page. UA-cam is difficult bc the mobile app doesn't push responses in thread to the top, so I have to go hunting for replies once there's more than one.

    safety tip, never lift something like a lid or rock towards yourself, only away from you. Snakes tend to spring, so make sure it's away from you. Also, mold can be extremely dangerous, I cringed watching this video knowing what I know about mold, next time where a face mask

    • @VeronicaFlores
      @VeronicaFlores  5 років тому +2

      Good call on the snakes. I hadn't seen any in this part of the woods so I wasn't seriously concerned, but you never know. And totally agree on the face mask. It just didn't work so well with the microphone, but I should've mentioned it as a suggestion. Was dying for hours after. 😂
