Also if anyone happens to be down in southbay this weekend, I have a couple bags of Stipticus almost ready to fruit as well as finished Stipticus spawn (this is the glowing mushroom). Lastly, I'm starting up some Reshi in a couple weeks, which is always fun to watch grow.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>I was talking to Ray and would also be interested in trying some hard stuff like growing morels or perhaps the latest mushroom I fell in love with (her looks mostly). See my picture of Calveria <br></span></div><div><br></div><div>Are any of you going to the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair this January (13th-15th)? I personally think it's a little better than MSSF ones
I've been to the last two years because there are more people there who seem to know something about cultivation rather than only identification--which is cool because I have noticed that people good at identification are a lot more common than experienced growers of a variety of species. Anyway, if any of you want to get together to attend, let me know so we can car pool from my place across the hills.<br></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Roger</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Matthew Downs <downs.matt@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Tastebridge <tastebridge@lists.noisebridge.net>; Natalie Underwood

<div id="yiv1971719816">Greetings Funladies and Fungis,<div>This coming Monday, Ray will be showing us how to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.shroomery.org/5139/What-is-a-PF-cake">make PF Cakes</a>! This will be a project you can take home! Everyone who participates will have the opportunity to take home and inoculate their own cake! Please bring a 1/2 pint mason jar, if you have one! We'll gather around 7-730p for tastebridge. PF cakes will be happening around 8p or so after the meal.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's an update from this weeks gathering:</div><div><ul><li>Dana, the Excellent is working on the Arduino/humistat output. It seems likely we'll be able to log data and check signals via the web!</li>
<li>Matthew will be bringing a webcam this week for future monitoring hack</li><li>Alan and Matthew both gathering wood chips for the next inoculation.</li><li>Ray is making grain spawn for Lion's Mane. We'll be making wood bags for these after the New Year!</li>
<li>the Mt. Shasta mushroom forage/gathering is at the end of May!</li><li>We're looking for plywood and foamboard to insulate the fruiting chamber as well as an old cooler to store mycelium</li><li>We're still investigating moving the chamber. It seems possible we could place it between pole 9 and 11 on the N wall next to the other tastebridge shelves. We intend to talk to Robert, Milo, et all.</li>
<li>Other chamber improvements discussed: gravity feed system to fill humidifier, passive cooling and ventillation, clean/replace plastic (when we move)</li></ul><div>Thanks again to every one!</div><div>See you Monday!</div>
