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.

[@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.

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]

I'd be interested to know if you used the big double door sterilizer you have - how much substrate or spawn could you fit in and would it be quicker?

[@MagikFredo]

Hey, i have a problem when i'm sealing. The bags are very wet inside and it does not seal well, many holes appears... How all your bags are these dry? Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge.

[@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.

[@prodby_TyreeMadeIt]

I'm curious what kind of sterilizer is it that you are using in this video, and where could somebody purchase one like it either online or in person?

[@SouthwestMushrooms]

Thanks 🙏🏽 for the question! The sterilizer you see in the video is sourced from a company out of Tennessee called Bubba’s Barrels, which is well-known in the brewing industry for their high-quality stainless steel drums, fittings, and heating elements. These same components have become popular in the mushroom industry for substrate sterilization. You can check out their website or visit them in person if you’re nearby. They offer a great selection of equipment that’s perfect for mushroom growers!

[@fungiterps]

Hey! Which measures of unicorn bags you usually use?

[@connerg196]

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?

I see it's about a 200lt tank which is quite optimal.

[@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. 🍄💚☮️😎

[@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 brought it up to 15 psi and then vented it and around 10 psi I heard an explosion from inside the sterilizer. My bags keep popping. Am I folding them wrong?
