[Tastebridge] Noisebridge Mushroom Minutes

[Roger H]

One more thing to add, there was a minor setback on the Shiitake spawn, but I should have spawn to you by New Years.  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.

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 


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.


Roger

Greetings Funladies and Fungis,
This coming Monday, Ray will be showing us how to make PF Cakes!  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, so do I!
