@Elijah Woods char? Like burn them never I like 3-6 month old cuts in winter heard you can talk to logger or tree trimming places to get right tree species. but I guess I could see using a brush burner to sterilize the bark for less hitchhiker. Never tried it but maybe a late season thing for me

Peace @Elijah Woods congrats on being a moderator. What's your opinion on the movement to bring local food back into local communities with the hurdles of getting your products sold in larger chain stores like whole foods. Seems to be slowing the acceleration on the local communities. I have only sold a few things at farmers market usually slow at my local one, kinda sad but we need a shift in culture for that to change drastically. I am still honing my skills. I believe mushrooms alone isnt for me whole business model for my farm just increase the diversity and self sustainability.

@Elijah Woods agreed we have a local store that is called Jingle Jim's they really like to talk about fresh produce because that's how they got started. Once we got our operations up and running I wanted to talk to the store manager about making a place for small local producers. Curious how you'd go about that to have a favorible outcome? They carry a good bit of mushrooms but in my experience I see people look, get scared and buy cremini instead. Alot of Irish and Germans heritage seem to be scared of mushrooms in my experience. Not a good look when your looking to sell them lol. I would hope a small local producer may be able to inform the customer of what they maybe passing by and not notice like a lot of society. I think good recipes go a long way like lions mane crab cakes (my favorite) or king oyster imitation scallops, to shittake burgers the simplest that's umami.
Let me see your biggest shroom

LC extraction lid
Good for easy extraction didn't seal around the tub with high temp gasket maker will be the only improvement I'll make next time. Impossible to buy at reasonable price this one I made has less the $3 in supplies.
