finding a way to reduce the amount of plastic waste produced in this process sounds awesome, gonna spend all night seeing what all has been found on plastic-eating mushrooms up to this point. thanks for sharing ur wisdom man

[@elguapo7970]

It's weird how satisfying it is to see him creating all those identical neat clean block/bags of substrate and piling them neatly in.

[@dieselphiend]

This is incredible. I just love the idea of this becoming widespread, which is why I think he's so willing to share their methodology. I don't exactly know how, but I think mushrooms will play an integral role in the longevity of our species. Mushrooms are the most efficient chemical factories on earth.

Pestalotiopsis Microspora (plastic eating mushroom) “In 2012, students from Yale University discovered a rare species of mushroom that can eat plastic. The mushroom is called Pestalotiopsis microspora and it comes from the Amazon rainforest. The fungi are capable of surviving on plastic alone!”

[@sandroshanidze6060]

Pestalotiopsis is not a mushroom, it's a micromycete fungus, meaning that its spore bearing structures are microscopic - it doesn't produce fruiting bodies, or mushrooms, hence it's a fungus, but no mushroom 🦠🧫

[@ManofLetters]

@@sandroshanidze6060 there are actual mushrooms than can break down plastics now now? I heard that a lot of oyster mushrooms can pull it off but can’t actually survive on plastic alone

[@null252]

@@beatthefood It takes 400 years for plastic to break down naturally. Not for the fungus to. As you talk about misinfo. 😂

Thank you for talking about the plastic issues. It is a huge concern. If we could fast forward 10 years into the future, I'll bet you're the one that finds an answer.

[@austinmoreno8486]

[@theghostofsw6276]

In about 3-5 years we'll see at least a 60% drop in population worldwide, mostly from the continents that use the most plastic in their consumer goods ie: North America, and Europe. So this won't be an issue in the near future.

I have learned a lot from you. I have 2 bags of oyster mushrooms fruiting and looking fantastic. Thank you

[@jakegroll7317]

I love this! I would like to offer a tip though. I sell fertilizer online and we do a similar packaging process on a little bigger scale. I would recommend not handling things twice, fill a bag, pack it down and stack it straight into the sterilizer. You are effectively handling the bags 2-3 times and that is a lot of extra time. Not as clean perhaps.. But handling things multiple times will take years off your life, haha. Trust me, handling packages is my life and this bothered me. With that being said I probably have no clue what I'm talking about and I truly dig the videos! Great stuff, just something to consider, small businesses can always use more efficient processes and its a fun evolution! My wife laughed at me as I watched you, I had to say something. :D

@@anjdelgado482 Bubba's Barrels' bubbasbarrels.com/catalog/kombucha-mushrooms-cold-brew-coffee/mushroom-sterilizer *EXPENSIVE* But fully automated, with all the options, pretty much ideal for a large operation. A cheaper/smaller alternative would be to get a virgin polyethylene barrel (Uline) to combine with a PC for use as a steam chamber. much DIY required; but the whole thing can still be automated with a PID.

[@markraf6481]

@@AaronAlso what about the smaller ones? would be nice for a small home starter.

[@AaronAlso]

@@markraf6481 If you diligently search google you will find that the largest commercially available PC is 80L. It is twice the size of an All American 901 and about half again the price. It only runs at 10psi but that just means longer run cycles, but not as long as a barrel steam sterilizer.

[@actionkey8042]

Southwest Mushrooms Hi. 75-80 degrees is enough to sterilize sawdust, you can simply fill in 60-80 sawdust with hot water, and put them in a warmed place and when you finish forming the packages, the first packages will cool down and you can add mycelium, I have never had any harmful spores. tested 5-10 pieces

I have one suggestion for recycling plastic bags, the plastic bags are strong and we can reuse it. First suggestion. First you use two bag one inside with holes and outside without holes. You remove outer bag without holes, whenever needed, so that inner bag .........try to understand. Second suggestion. Whenever you have finished using bag........ You rub it with dry wet towel, you can use washing machine for this purpose. With dry wet towel you can rub , easygoing . You can wash all dirty towels in washing machine. Buy separate washing machine. Another option is you can wash plastic bags in wash basin and reuse it , but this will be longer job. You can dry it using glass stand sold by Chinese or you can pin it on the rope. As per as my suggestions dry wet clothes cleaning is good. Easy to maintain. Don't wash infected plastic bags, throw it. You must experiment for inside and outside plastic, using this technique you can save money on buying plastic bags. I hope you understand what I want to say. Namh shivay.

I like your suggestions and like verymuch last words ie 🙏🙏🙏 nama sivaya .

[@btardedbot2.2.62]

7:00 ish. You are talking about stepping away from using soooo much plastics. Maybe now you have a big enough company. Get hold of a borosilicate glass producer - and come up with a design that will make 2.5Lb - 5Lb wide mouth glass mason Jars, with plastic lids (0.2micron vented and syringe ports in lids and in rows around the glass jars)... This way u have option for inoculation by transferring, or syringes - and all equipment is *100% reusable.* You can start a production line/sales for the jars idea aswell. I'd buy 1 or 2. For me, they could go in, 1 at a time - in a regular sized home pressure cooker - like the one in your video, (if product is made with those specifications in regards) ..... Just a thought. It's something I been thinking of for while now. 🍄💚☮️😎

I wonder if it would be at all feasible to make the bags out of mushroom/mycelium plastic (I think mostly chitin)? I know there are companies experimenting with making other plastic products out of mycelium but I'm not sure if it would be feasible to make them totally clear or not. Would you really need to wash a reusable container if you were going to pasteurize them anyway?
