| *Morten has met with Farley's and they're in on giving us their espresso grounds. We can start a daily pickup at 9:30PM when we're ready (and on the days where we cannot pick up / don't need more grounds, the fallback is that the grounds are composted).

| *Aquarium is in place in sudo room.
| | #[[Sudo room/06-13-2012 Meetup|06-13-2012]] |
| *Our next step is to create spawn. We need pretty sterile conditions for it, a pressure cooker, and some materials. Chapter 4 in the mushroom growers handbook details this part of the process rather well. Morten thinks we should set a day and time where we meet and do it.

| <blockquote>[the] life cycle of mushroom is divided into two phases: vegetative and reproductive growth. Vegetative growth indicates linear growth of fungal mycelia dissolving complex substrate components into simpler molecules and absorbing them as nutrients. When low temperature, high humidity, much oxygen, and sometimes light are offered,the mycelia cease vegetative growth and begin to produce fruitbodies, which we call mushroom. This is reproductive growth. Mushroom cultivation can be said the practice of obtaining fruitbodies by artificially repeating these two growing stages.
| | #[[Sudo room/10-10-2012 Meetup|10-10-2012]] |
| Mushroom cultivation requires enough understanding on the optimal growing conditions of each mushroomspecies and how to make favorable environment for both vegetative and reproductive growth of mushrooms.

| There are numerous ways to successfully grow oyster and shiitake mushrooms, all of which share the same basic steps and principles. This section aims to describe what one needs to set it all up and get started learning and producing - first with a quick rundown followed by more details on each point.

| *Creating a growing environment; humidity is key, temperature seems important as well. It also needs to reduce the risk of contamination from alien bacteria.

| <blockquote>The last important factor for mushroom growing is providing an appropriate environment both for vegetative andreproductive growth. Not being protected by a skin layer, fungi are easily affected by their growing conditions. Soit can be said that the success or failure of mushroom cultivation depends on the control of growing conditions.Environmental factors affecting mushroom cultivation include temperature, humidity, light and ventilation.Optimal levels of them at vegetative stage differ from those at reproductive stage.

| *Lion's Mane is a particularly awesome mushroom known to stimulate nerve growth factor and increase cognitive ability: [http://everythingmushrooms.com/grow-your-own-mushrooms/mushroom-grow-kits/lions-mane-mushroom-block-ready-to-grow-kit/ Kit available to order online]. And Reishi mushrooms can grow on the same substrate.
