Dear peeps, I’d love to see more of your projects and backgrounds
Hi @MalteLarsen! I hope you don’t mind but I moved your post from the Gathering section to the Open Sharing section (seems like a better fit).
I took most of 2020 off from cultivation but my most recent project was growing Pleurotus ostreatus on pasteurized straw in 25 L buckets. It was a fun project and really motivated me to grow more food in 2021 (I’ve previously been focusing more on medicinals).
Here are a few photos (LC -> wheat grain -> straw):
What have you been working on lately?
Hi Glyph, that looks amazing. Are you at the conference today?
Thanks for migrating the post definitely a better fit. We held a conference with the biopunk group from telegram https://t.me/joinchat/S7BlRuOvadkKcg6s
Are you a member? If not please feel invited to join the group… its the interlink to the forum.
cool! thx for sharing, also the pictures we also use similar containers for growing oystermushrooms but we only habe holes in the lid. i think i wilm try making some more further down, as it often looks like the primordia and fruiting bodies dont make it that far up!
With https://mikrobiomik.org/ we have a little pre-trial cooperation with a company atm. Idea is to seperate natural from artificial fibers via fungal enzymes. We innoculated a range of substrate compositions with some species and use visual mycelium formation as an indicator for the effeciency of enzymes to nurish the fungi - ergo their capacity to degrade the material. Seperation of fibers is one of the major challenges today and will become a big deal in the future. Please let me know your thoughts about the project:
