[@georgesimmons9815]

I don't understand why people believe the 'bad' organisms are killed but 'good' are preserved in pasteurization. Is there science to support that?

[@Mycophilia]

Yes, of course.

[@5.dot.connector]

nothing that would be known on Wikipedia. As far as it is explained there pasteurization simply does reduce the bacterial load where sterilization brings it to (near) zero. As far as I can tell heat and pressure don't distinguish between "good" and "bad" bacteria. They kill microorganisms according to their relative resistance to heat / pressure. And what's beneficial anyway? perhaps a "low" bacterial or yeats load is. or perhaps some specific strands are beneficial. I haven't seen any hard science on it so far.

[@gfifplayer4691]

​@@5.dot.connectorso-called beneficial bacterial in this case is termophilic bacterial (im not sure of this is correct english termin, but they are love heat and wher it Is too hot for others they are thrive). And this becterias can live in substrat and give it some contaminat resistant. But what is more important - they will not mess with our mushrooms. Somehow they are not competing for the substrat

[@TheQueenOfDreams]

@@Mycophiliacan we see it?

[@gagemal6521]

I’m sorry but no the science does not support this. It kills all migroorganisms which are not adapted to high heat. High heat resistant traits include endospore formation, heat resistant protein structures, specialized phospholipid bilayer which has fatty acid tails with higher boiling points etc. now the important part. Both “good” and. “Bad” bacteria are known to have any of these traits. Most good bacteria will die, and a Few will be resistant. Most bad bacteria will die, and a Few will be resistant. Now sterilization all of these traits don’t matter, it’s so harsh it destroys even the most resilient organisms good and bad. Hope this helped😀😀

Hey what's up bro! I've been so busy with everything here, my apologies for not filling you in, however...I just noticed lol so that Colloidal Silver Tek I was experimenting with..... amazing!!! I covered my plates in CS and actually forgot about them during my move into the new place, I pulled them out 2dys ago expecting catastrophe, it was quite the opposite actually... The 2 plates I treated and didn't touch again were completely clean! I actually lost a whole spore syringe of my top producer, but when I pulled out the CS test plates and saw how thick the ryzomorphic growth had become and how healthy it looked I about dropped the plate lol. I cut 8 specimens from each plate transferring to agar. They exploded almost overnight. So I can say with confidence that my CS Tek will work. CS will destroy any bacteria with single celled walls, the mycelium isn't bothered because it has thick double celled walls. I'm going to up the ante and put CS into the water I use for grain spawn and everything else and see how that works. I'm willing to bet that if one were to add CS to their Agar recipe it would manage contamination phenomenally. Ok I'm getting back to work it's been rough lol.

[@Mycophilia]

Hey THC! I’ve just been thinking about messaging you! Great to hear that the CS is working great. I’m curious to see how it would fair against dirty swabs and outdoor spores. Great to see you back here!

[@treehouseconstituents6402]

@@Mycophilia same I think it'd be a good idea to isolate individual contaminates onto agar and test each one with the CS. It's relatively inexpensive and I'm using a 10ppm solution, they make it up to 500ppm. Imagine soaking your grane spawn in a CS solution and eliminating contam on almost every front. If this continues to prove fruitful the implications would be incredible, open air work stations, no LFHs or SABs. It's good to be back too! Glad to see things are still rolling for you. I hope KZbin fixes your channel. With several states and municipalities legalization it shouldn't be a problem anymore. I'll keep my fingers crossed. NAMASTE 🙏 I'll hit you up again shortly.

Interesting video. I stumbled on your channel while searching, I enjoy watching your videos where you breake everything down in simple easy to understand terms. I also like how you dont use reddit for go to answers.... I will definetly be following this series. I am new to this and was thinking about composting my chicken, goat, and duck poo for using in some trials. I believe it takes a while to compost it down to reduce the nitrogen, and also balance the PH which is some what critical on many levels for using to add to substrates. I can not wait to see how your journey goes. Thanks for your great videos....

[@Mycophilia]

Thank you for your comment, glad to have you here!

[@danwilkinson2797]

I found a solution to your problem. Hardwood sawdust make a tea use it for soaking grains and for hydration of substrate. You will never see green again. I got that tip from home mycology. It’s the tannins.

I'm sorry but I've done both and have zero contam with pasteurization. I won't sterilze anymore.

[@Mycophilia]

Why are you sorry lol

[@gangsterbuilder]

Can you grow the good bacteria and then sterilize and then add the growing good bacteria?

[@Mycophilia]

Probably but that’s kinda beyond me to isolate the good bacteria.

Thank you for confirming my bias. I don't own a pressure cooker and i really don't wanna buy one.

[@Mycophilia]

@@Torturantula you’ve got it all wrong. You need a PC if you want to create spawn. You can get away with steaming if using brown rice, but that is still sterilization, not pasteurization. You cannot pasteurize grains.

[@tensiondriven]

If you can pasteurize nutritious substrate, could you theoretically pasteurize grain for spawn?

[@Mycophilia]

No as grain is far too nutritious. There’s a reason they’re sterilized.

remember pasteurization and sterilization is useless if you have contaminated spawn even if you dont see it

[@davids11131113]

Not necessarily, I’ve seen a bit of contam get beaten by mycelium before, both in tubs and on agar plates. That’s what I’m always telling these growers who show a small spot of contam on their second flush, and calling it ruined as you’ve got another ounce of dried weight that you can harvest tomorrow, it’s not a death sentence don’t throw it out.

[@dont.ripfuller6587]

I always just run with it and give the mycelium the best opportunity to outgrow it. These things grow in the wild.

Saga: I never had good luck with the Moo Cow Poo that has wood in the mix, this is like opening the door for the Mean Green.

[@Mycophilia]

That is interesting that you mention the wood, as I had my suspicions about that as well. Thanks for the comment Dave!

[@treehouseconstituents6402]

What if you did small isolated sterilizations instead of pasteurizations, with an overnight presoak in a Colloidal Silver solution? Are you scavenging for feces locally? If you're scavenging for local crap, and said local crap has wood, the wood has been through the digestive tract and there's minimal you can do to get the contaminants out of that wood especially if it's bovine. The digestive system basically softens the wood and it will absorb everything inside the cows body it comes into contact with during the digestive process. In that case I would still recommend small isolated batches however during the pasteurization/sterilization (whatever you choose) increase the length of your process by atleast 3x if you can get the wood poop to maintain a temp around 170°F for long enough it should have an effect but still add Colloidal Silver with your field capacity process as that will either eliminate or retard the process so much you'll get a fruiting and a flush or 2 I would hope. I've been experimenting with Colloidal Silver a bit with great success. And the mycelium doesn't mind it much at all. The tomentose growth may retreat a bit, however it will come right back with a fervor. It may turn your mycelium blueish, I'm not sure if my blues were from the silver or the "Silo Sin" oxidizing within the mycelium, I know for a fact the blue was NOT contam. I've discovered that the mycelium will bruise blue when you touch it or cut specimens just like it's fruit, especially the higher percentage genetics. Apparently the mycelium has quite a bit of "blue love" lol. I plan to experiment With this by growing and harvesting a large sample of healthy mycelium and doing an extraction and distillation of the "contents" to see. I got the idea from some lab analysies of percentages of Cordycepin contained within the Cordyceps fruiting bodies as opposed to the mycelium. Cordycep Mycelium contains a noticably higher percentage of cordycepin than it's fruits.

[@Mycophilia]

@@treehouseconstituents6402 I’am really coming to suspect the poo now. Next time I’ll just buy a bag of pure cow poop and see how that fares, nonetheless I’m happy to see both of you talk about the wood as I had my suspicions. What tripped me up though was how some people don’t have a problem even with the wood. But all I know is that the casing layer is pasteurized fine with the same method every single time, whereas this compost contaminated 100% of the time. I’m going to try pure cow manure

[@treehouseconstituents6402]

@@Mycophilia lmk how that works bro, I'm still doing synthetic dung with pharmaceutical grade chemical nutrients, I make a nutrient broth out of Pure nitrogen crystals, humic acid extract from coal and compost, phosphorus, kelp extract, sodium, Calcium, magnesium, Sulphur, cellulose, flavonoids and polyphenols. It's a little harder to locate pure polyphenols and flavonoids at a reasonable price though.
