21.01.2022 After colonizing for close to three months, shiitake are finally ready for harvest! Lots of work and patience involved in growing this species, but the end product is definitely worth it

20.01.2022 Lab air intake mounted, just need to install the fan speed controller when it arrives and another job ticked off inching closer and closer to the finish line

19.01.2022 New lab starting to come together. Bought some dope blue concrete sealer for the floor which I'm hoping to have down by 2030

18.01.2022 Vegan "fried chicken" made from Lions Mane mushroom. This is by far my favourite way to eat Lions Mane, and the taste and texture is almost indistinguishable from real fried chicken. Simple as to make.. Tear the lions mane into chunks, make a simple wet batter (I use soy milk, chickpea flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper) Dip those badboyz in the batter and deep/shallow fry in whatever oil you like. Let em cook for roughly 6-8 minutes until crispy and then insert into face

15.01.2022 The experiment shelf. The trials never stop

15.01.2022 Coolroom done big construction projects are now finished. Lots of small jobs to go but were now operational

08.01.2022 King Oyster pins and fruits ready for harvest

08.01.2022 First test run in the new lab

08.01.2022 Made a few quick test mods to the foot pedal operated auto-bagger. Incorporated water flow meter, solenoid, hose and plumbing into the chute so that water is dispensed at the same time as the dry substrate materials, cutting out the extra bag hydration step. Prototype works well, now just need to tidy it up

07.01.2022 Dads been putting his welding qualifications to good use. Almost severed my leg with a metal drop saw (3 stitches ) and pretty sure every article of clothing I own now has burn holes in it, but end result will be worth it. Thinking about installing a fireman pole for rapid emergency descent.

07.01.2022 Come down and see us today at the Bridge Mall Farmers Market for some fresh Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms

06.01.2022 Lab work #flowhood #mycology #science #gourmet #mushrooms #mycelium #g2gtransfer #spawn #agar

05.01.2022 Spring is here, time to get some colour back into these fruiting rooms

05.01.2022 Humble beginnings, circa 2015. Found this pic on an old phone of my very first Martha (shroom community lingo for humidity controlled greenhouse, originally made using Martha Stewart portable closests - hence the name) My very first grow was a Reishi monotub a couple of years prior to this. Hard to believe I've been playing around with fungi cultivation for close to 10 years now. This photo gives me crazy feelings of nostalgia. Like most, I've struggled with mental health iss...ues throughout my life and felt lost, but discovering the incredible world of fungi all those years ago re-ignited my curiosity and passion for nature, science and our world in general, and that fire still burns just as intensely today. Probably not a stretch to say that mushrooms saved my life, and I am forever grateful for what they've given me. Never forget where you came from

05.01.2022 Pouring plates for strain isolation

04.01.2022 Kung Pao King Browns by the legends at @chatfortea check them out for some mindblowingly delicious vegetarian fusion cuisine. The Gyoza is out of this world

04.01.2022 Lions mane and mixed punnets headed off to @blakefamilygrocers in Daylesford. These guys stock some amazing products, be sure to check them out if you haven't already!

02.01.2022 Big ol' crate of sunshine

02.01.2022 Grew some worms These are blue oyster mushrooms that were grown inside the bag (thought the bag was contam'd but they apparently had other ideas) Oysters are fiends for fresh air and require low co2 levels for proper cap formation.
