I’d rather be talking about bio-char or terra prieta if you will. My wood stove allows me to control the air intake. Giving a lower supply of Oxygen is the goal in achieving pyralysis. At the end of the night I add a stick of wood and reduce the…Continue

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on January 17, 2015 at 12:43pm: I'm making G2's from the Blue Oysters and Shitake on Monday if anyone is up for it, let me know...

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on December 10, 2014 at 5:30pm: 2 G1 jars of Blue Oyster mycelium and a bale of straw. G2's or kits? Anyone have cultivation in their resilience to do list? Speak up, sooner rather than later...

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on November 7, 2014 at 5:56pm: pulled out the real gear...its been awhile, but nothing blew up...thankful for the little things...

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on November 1, 2014 at 2:00pm: more lowballing with my kitchen pressure cooker preparing agar for shitake tissue and spore inoculations, just being a little lazy or feeling lucky, I dunno...I'll let the results decide...

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on October 30, 2014 at 3:55pm: Originally the Blue Oyster strain was one of seven I received from a Fungi Perfecti course on cultivation. It has very healthy growth characteristics and is delicious to boot. At one point with bags of inoculated straw in the shop and jars of different generations of grain spawn in cool storage, I had an idea of cutting out a couple of steps and inoculated a downed Alder on my property. I waited and good things happened. A couple of weeks back I checked the log and harvested 4 nice looking mushrooms and took the stem butts and did the lowball cultivating technique of wetting small squares of cardboard until they separate and placing the leftovers on the cardboard rolling it up and putting it inside a toilet paper roll and placed it inside a plastic bag. I've tried this before, but this time it really took off, so now it's time to see if some usable grain spawn can be derived and ultimately straw bag kits and a nice supply of Oysters for the winter.

Comment by J. C. Walker,Jr. on October 28, 2014 at 6:06pm: It will probably be a better option to make up some grain spawn, so if cultivation is on your radar, let me know.
