Stan's Mushrooms

This site has some more information on growing temperatures of different mushrooms. An interesting note is that it differtiats between colonization and fruting temparatures.

There is the link:

I have ordered the kit from Fungi Pertecti. Should be here in about 2 weeks.

Here is a list of mushrooms and there temparature ranges.

It would be nice to have one with a wide range of tempature or perhaps I should select what I am growing according to the season.

Pink Oyster when hot, button or portobello or other oyster when cooller.

This is a wonderful site about this mushroom. My girls love this mushroom and it is easy to cook with. This is a wonderful site about it this has some good information on the protobello.

Ok the question is what to do next.

I think my sister would like some of the portobello mushrooms.











I would like these too, but I still have some questions on my mind as to how to grow them.

Finally found on the fungi perfect site

I have not been working on mushrooms much lately but plan to do more in the future.

Hypsizygus ulmarius










This is the elm oyster or while elm mushroom

This is a nice site

http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hypsizygus_ulmarius.html

I would like to get this one because it is suppose to be low on spore count.

The question is where to buy.

Another site

http://www.sunflower.com/~pilott29/Hypsizygus.htm

This is a place that sells it

http://www.shamanshop.net/store/proddetail.cfm/ItemID/6331.0/CategoryID/2500.0/SubCatID/490.0/file.htm

but when I go to Fungi Perfecti Fungi Perfecti they don't show it

Looks like they have the pellets. They don't know if they are what I want. Handy Ace in Tucker would be the place to check if they don't have it.

They don't, but they gave the numbers for the two hardwood pellets they have:

425-2854
419-5319

Handy Ace is 770-939-6842

Hopefully after tomorrow all I will need is the malt powder. It would be cool if it arrived by this weekend.

12 gms agar - Hope to get this tomorrow Mother Nature Tomorrow

12 gms light malt powder - Ordered from Baker's Supply

0.5 gm processed nitrogen source (rotate between gelatin, soy milk powder, milk powder, low
sodium soy sauce, etc.) - Plan to use milk powder

5-7 wood fuel pellets (0.15 oz, or 4.25 grams) - Hope to get from Ace Hardware off Even Mill Road

small chip (0.1 gm? enough to turn the solution slightly yellow) from synthetic B vitamin complex pill - Get from CVS by my house

1 liter clear water, free of particulates - this I have (should I try to buy some spring water instead?)

Also need a scale that is acurate down to 1/2 a gram. Bought from Target yesterday.

Bought this type of scale from Target. It was $15.89 including tax. The one shown it the link is for 11 lbs and mine is for 6 lbs.

The Shaman Shop is another source for dry malt extract. This is expecially for making the agar formula. It is $14.70 for 8 ounces. What Highly Hydroscopic?

Looks like Target might be a good source for a kitchen scale.

Hammer's Hot Ones

I believe that I am getting close to be able to produce the agar medium.

No presure cooking one:

12 gms agar - can get from Mother Natures Market (no web address?)

12 gms light malt powder - this I have to order (could check with brewing places in Atlanta area)

0.5 gm processed nitrogen source (rotate between gelatin, soy milk powder, milk powder, low
sodium soy sauce, etc.) - this I have

5-7 wood fuel pellets (0.15 oz, or 4.25 grams) - can I get this from that hardware store?

small chip (0.1 gm? enough to turn the solution slightly yellow) from synthetic B vitamin complex pill - should be able to get from any drug store

1 liter clear water, free of particulates - this I have

Also need a scale that is acurate down to 1/2 a gram.

This is my blog dedicated to my mushrooming experiences.
