Thats what im talking about! Rock the boat Gary. Call out the egos. Great video, Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelgpartridge2384]

Excellent up-to-date breakdown on this fascinating species. Thank you for sharing so much valuable information on your channel and your well-informed insights. Great to see all the enthusiasm and encouragement! Cheers!

[@hesherette]

thanks for the insight! just a suggestion, it could be really helpful for some if you could link the videos you mention in your video, i think they're called "i cards" or something. where the "i" icon pops up on the top right of the video so people can just click that icon to see the video you're mentioning. always appreciate your content! i'm off to go watch your other cordyceps videos now :)

[@RevShifty]

All hail the algorithm. Thanks for the extra info to though. Could you maybe speak more about your test results? I'd love to hear what was so surprising about them. Especially where it concerns the mycelium vs fruiting body.

[@Frankiemind]

❤ gary! Your on a whole different level!!! Thanks for all you teach us! I got some new cordycep lc from some i fruited inspired by your videos!!! I can't wait to try it!

[@Highlightedpet]

Nice one, motivating me to try this out

[@juliansullivan102]

Mush Love Gary. Thank you for the vidoe

[@floatingbrowncloud]

Good video gary. I want to help the cordyceps industry in the Western United States. I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices the gatekeeping and egos. They are definitely trying to monopolize the market.

[@campclean-up9908]

I'm a grower down in the Springs. Love your content excited to grow your cultures out.

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

awesome thanks for watching and following along! Happy Growing! 🍄❤️

[@DrowSkinned]

ohooo I'm excited to learn about the Microwells

[@corvo9249]

Gary, what do you think about the production of Ophiocordyceps sinensis using fermentation in bioreactors, basically in a giant vat of LC? I am really interested in doing this as a way to alleviate wild harvesting of sinensis but there isn't much information and I've only seen one culture online called CS-4.

If I’m growing 100 bins… nearly half get calcarisporium with 60 degree temp grows. My only ideas is the rice isn’t fully sterilized.. altered many variables including air flow and light.

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

try scaling down - every time I jumped from jars to bins it decreased success. You might learn something in going back and forth

[@mikerizzyraw]

@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi my big bins include 3000g of rice inside an x large spawn bag. If I cook too long or soak rice overnight it turn to mush. Cook too short -maybe the bacteria isn’t completely sterilized, and that opens up substrate to infection. I tried rye and even beans once- but low yield

[@sporemuse]

Great video as always. What do you presume is the reason for your low success rate with cordyceps?

[@GraftingAvocados]

Were you able to breed cordyceps to be more pathogenic to specific insects?

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

I could not keep this culture alive very long - I believe spores would be more effective but they are difficult to accumulate but I will be attempting more experiments like this in the future

[@GraftingAvocados]

@@FreshfromtheFarmFungi Thanks interesting concept. Chat GPT has some good references.

[@joshp5737]

what up gary josh here from the springs.. great video as always.... quick question, what do you think about mixing ampicillin with agar to automatically weed out any bacteria..?

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

it can work but I avoid this as a crutch since it puts unnecessary antibiotics into the environment which can lead to antibiotic resistance

[@jaksmith6465]

have you tried Fermaid K in an agar mix?

[@donniebrasco11]

❤❤❤

[@GerryPrompt]

GARY!!

[@Enkidu_Wildman]

that gate keeping is kinda extreme in a lot of myco communities...

[@PaulJarvis-i8o]

Can you eat the colonized rice?

[@FreshfromtheFarmFungi]

you can eat what you want - I think it would taste weird and be careful like eating any raw thing but some farms will dry this and extract desired compounds from this because it’s easier to get colonized grains then fruiting bodies and some papers suggest there are diffferent/more potent compounds present in mycelium vs fruits

Working with Cordyceps just seems like asking for a horror movie. The Girl With All The Gifts, The Last of Us, etc...
