[Tastebridge] Noisebridge Mushroom Minutes

[Matthew Downs]

Greetings Funladies and Fungis,
This coming Monday, Ray will be showing us how to make PF
Cakes<http://www.shroomery.org/5139/What-is-a-PF-cake>!
 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.

Here's an update from this weeks gathering:

   - 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!
   - Matthew will be bringing a webcam this week for future monitoring hack
   - Alan and Matthew both gathering wood chips for the next inoculation.
   - Ray is making grain spawn for Lion's Mane.  We'll be making wood bags
   for these after the New Year!
   - the Mt. Shasta mushroom forage/gathering is at the end of May!
   - We're looking for plywood and foamboard to insulate the fruiting
   chamber as well as an old cooler to store mycelium
   - 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.
   - Other chamber improvements discussed: gravity feed system to fill
   humidifier, passive cooling and ventillation, clean/replace plastic (when
   we move)

Thanks again to every one!
See you Monday!

~Matthew

PS - Alan recommends Why You Should Never Talk to the
Police<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc>,
so do I!
