Ur a beast man! I've learned quite a bit from your videos. I think about a year ago I watched the first one. Been growing nearly six years now, but the first few years I was self taught by reading books by stamets, Virginia haze, k. Mandrake, Eliot stoney, Allison mark. Those humble beginnings led to a lot of read, try, and find out. Many questions I still had were answered in a few of your early videos. Thank you so much

fungaia, n paul is so effortlessly informative and obviously passionate, the way he frames stuff makes my brain happy, seriously the first 3:12 of the video offers more of a conceptual basis and so a reverence of cultivation that i miss in other resources… and with these regular drops, quickly becoming a favorite channel to recommend also shout out to what ever editor(s) and the production team!

Being a food canner first and a shroomer second, I would highly recommend purchasing a weighted jiggler. It allows you to select a desired psi by the use of weight rings and release unneeded higher pressure on its own. This avoids excessive boiling off of the water which can warp your canner, a pressure above 15 psi which can caramelize your product and use excess power. It only needs to jiggle once or twice a minute and not like a hula dancer. It definitely reduces anxiety often associated using a pressure canner. Here is some information on the jiggler on the presto site . www.gopresto.com/product/pressure-canner-pressure-regulator-50332

This one comment was in the bar downstairs before making the vid fullscreen, so I knew a hand sanitizer joke was coming. Without knowing the details. Still caught me off guard, and I laughed my ass off. I love that we are starting to talk more openly about incredibly common experiences, and not unnecessarily making it all taboo.

Knowing that 5 regular mouth pint jars will fit in my instant pot is super helpful. I was using half pint jars stacked on top of each other. I have to wait until later in the year, but I'm so excited to dive back in. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge Paul, it's helped me so much on my mushroom cultivation journey

Thanks for the great content! When the PC is cooling. When it reaches just over 212F I swap the weight with a DIY polyfill filter rinsed in isopropyl. The final steam exhaust exits through the polyfill, adding some sanitatizion and driving off iso. and as it cools the ambient air is drawn through the filter. into the PC. So I can save flowhood space by cooling in "dirty" air. I am just an amateur, learning as I go. interested what you think...

I've always sealed my bags before going into the pressure cooker because I have issues sealing them after cooking when they're wet. When I fold the flaps down I make sure the filter is facing up. Come to think of it, even the bags I had issues sealing after a cook were successful so, it might be fine. I only just started using bags so still working out the kinks

@brescalofrio1 4 ай бұрын

It should self seal if the bag sits or leans against the folded top part

Thank you man, i will give tyndallization a try. I am struggling with a 10liter ish pressure cooker without a gauge and i can only do 2 bags. I was thinking to turn a 50l bier barrel like a fellow mycologist has but it will not worth the hussle for me since i will stop this hobby for a while in the future.

Honestly🤔...this video is better than Pron!🤣 I love mushroom growing! Will start myself in few months.🤩 I have a question - What about using negative pressure...vacuum!? Will it work? It will kill all pathogens (they need air to live). And you will not heat the natural sugar of grain or lignin in sawdust. What do you think? ...pssst...I love your channel man!!!🥰

@BeehiveMushroomCo 4 ай бұрын

I have thought about using vacuum to sterilize, as I have fairly extensive vacuum pump experience. I have not tried it because of the following: 1. You can not lower the pressure below the saturated vapor pressure of water, as it will boil - around 24 Torr (0.5 psi absolute = -14psi gauge). This will remove the water from your substrate and dry it out. 2. Most research I have found indicates that bacteria, yeast, and mold can survive vacuum, and that vacuum does not kill endospores. They are stunted by hard vacuum but appear to be able to grow again after return to atmospheric. It could possibly be enough to allow the mycelium to get a foothold though. 3. Vacuum expansion could possibly more burst grains, which experienced mycologists find greatly increases contamination rates. However, it is a very interesting idea, and I would love to see some test protocols of the methodology. Won't know for sure until we try :)

Hi Paul is it ok to put liquid culture for more than 40 min in the insta pot? You said more than 45 min could caramelize the sugars making them inedible for mushrooms.

Is there a way of working out the time required to sterilise based on pressure at a fixed temperature, e.g. is 15 minutes at 121 deg. C. and a pressure of 3 bar the same as 90 minutes at 1 bar
