Progress Report

I have pink oysters inoculated into rye grain. Also in a dextrose liquid culture recipe i found online. The entire syringe is consumed so I'm hopeful that I will have a viable non-contaminated source. 

I'm thinking the next syringe i get might be lion's mane. I've heard pinks go bad pretty quickly and that kings can last up to 2 weeks. Everything will be potentially dehydrated if it doesn't sell. Pinks lose their color when heated, so maybe i can go really low and slow for their preservation.

I plan to drive to a feed store that's an hour away or so next week to pick up soy hulls and sawdust pellets. It's a co-op and they were really nice. they ordered 1 50lb bag and he didn't even laugh too much at the low order quantity. Ordered grain storage bins on Chewy.com. Those deliver today. 

I ordered mushroom bags, but they are not the size I thought they were going to be. I have 50 of these. These could be cute grow your own mushroom kits. Maybe?

Have quite a bit of lab toys coming but have not been able to get my hands on what i need to make a laminar flow bench. I found the blower but not the HEPA. Was hoping to copy the specs I saw for someone else's project. Emailed a contact from previous employer to see if they sell refurbished hoods or HEPAs. 

Tiling the front room next week. This will be the lab until i'm able to find better. Garage to be fruiting chamber. Unless i get a covered rack, maybe i could have fruiting in the kitchen? Don't want too much spore gunk in the house.
