PF - Tek / Drying methods
April 27, 2004, 03:47:33 AM
A food dehydrator works great. Just make sure to set the heat to lowest setting and they should be dry in less than a day without any major loss in potency.

Since when is DEA(Drug Enforcement Agency) daeling with DDOS attacks?!


Nice try.

The post at the Shroomery about Antonius really holds about every detail I encountered with Antonius.

Something similar, less expensive:

>(fishstore, wal-mart etc.)?

Crushed oyster shells are used as a food supplement for birds, so pethop would be my guess.

I don?t purchase them anymore.... when I did, I used http://www.thehawkseye.com, http://www.sporeworks.com and http://www.smartbotanics.nl .

I can only tell you what the people that replied in this thread said:
Could be, could not be, impossible to tell with so little data.
And, unless one is 100%, consider every mushroom as poisonous.

>My friend said he has done the PF-Tek guide with Rice bubbles!!
Since rice bubbles is popped rice, it is probably true.

>my friend also pulls alot of shit from his arse! is this true?
If you say so ;)

>if not have you got any replacements for vermiculite that you know of?

Read Can I substitute any ingredients in the PF recipe?

>I also would like to know some tips on getting spores of freshly picked (wild) shrooms?

Cut the cup of an opened, clean, fresh mushroom as far to wards the top of the stalk as possible, and place on fresh clean typing paper and cover with a water glass. Remove the cap after 12-24 hours, now a nice dark print should be on the paper. Replace the glass and leave for another 24 in order for the print to dry. After 24 hours remove the glass, fold the paper  and store the print dry and cold.

Very good!

In the attachment are the files which need to be translated. I would suggest you to use the web editor that comes along http://www.mozilla.org .
If you run into any problems feel free to post here or PM me.

Either put a layer of aluminum foil loosely over the top, or leave the holes uncovered. Sealing the jar is not good, because mycelium needs air to breath.

PF - Tek / vermiculit problem
April 21, 2004, 05:12:44 AM
1. While it?s better to use organic brown rice, in most cases normal white rice  suitable for human consumption works as well. So don't worry too much about it.

2. I wouldn't recommend putting the jars in plastic bags. The jars need air to breath, while the amount needed is not that great, it's still better if they are not sealed.
The top vermiculite layer and of course the foil should provide enough protection against dust from the air.

And your English, it's flawless.

Do you think you could or better, would you want to  translate the PF Tek for Simple Minds into Serbian language? Do you think there is an interest for it in your country?

It's dead when no air is blowing through it anymore, or when it has a hole and the contaminants pass through it.

To clean it, you would have build the filter out and  blow filtered air through the filter from the opposite direction to blow the accumulated dust off the inside of the filter.
It would be possible, but I think it?s just too much work.

The life expectancy of a filter if you use the hood for a personal use(a few hours a week) is many, many years.
But even if one was to change the filter, not everything is glued together, so it would be possible to change the filter with some work.
