People who donate experience and information are just as generous as those who donate to charity or the needy. This is one of the mushroom cultivation "treasure channels" that gives much and demands nothing but the time spent learning in return. Thank you for this and every other video you've shared inspiring aspiring mycologists o/

Very informative and detailed breakdown. Your passion for this subject is really evident in your explanations. I appreciate how you took the time to walk us through the different types of lids and their respective benefits. Mush love! EDIT: The tubing inner diameter is 1/4" and the outer diameter is 3/8" (for the master LC lids)

I made diy lids with silicone and micropore tape, works wonders, but i never thought about how the hole is needed for air displacement. Great insight!

at first i wasn't sure about your content but i'm sold, every time i have a weird question your videos pop up with the answer...you rock 😁

Yes! I have been waiting for this video. Been working on more LC and wanted to make an extractor lid. I can source all the lab stuff pretty easily

Dude your videos are amazing, have learn a lot, I miss your content.

Thanks for the video Gary! Been meaning to modify lids for LC etc for a while, so this is a calling! Mush love from Australia

Great stuff. Thanks for the breakdown Gary

Loved the video! This will help step up my liquid cultures. Thank you so much for all the content, it's become my after work ritual to learn from your videos.

Great video! That was a small mouth quart jar, in case anyone wants to know.

Awesome!

Very good!

How do you keep the end of the piping sterile? Especially if you cap it off with a syringe or leur lock cap wouldn't any lc remain in the end section? Wouldn't it be preferrable for it to run back into the jar? Thanks.

Excellent content, as usual. Have you got an update on the morcella garden? Also, which glass pint or quart jars work best with the magnetic stirrer? I bought a case from my local garden center and they have a fairly exaggerated concaved bottom which sucks because I basically used all my culture on them to learn that the magnetic stirrer will not work with them

Great video, really helpfull

which way do you have the filter facing in the lids and why that way?

I make my own. And for my lids. One 5/32 and one 7/16 drill bits are perfect sizes for my filter and injection ports. No adhesive, just a very tight press in seal. I just pull out the filter and SHIP when I think they need replaced. It's so easy to do It doesn't feel right selling them.

How would you sterilize between uses for the master lids with tubbing?

How long would you say morchella Americana spores would remain viable in a dry climate controlled environment?

I need your help please Haw can I prepare bromothymol blue stain?? I have the powder of bromothymol blue

5bl Grain spawn bag is how many can use 5bl bags for block?

aye family i love these uploads keep them up please. you mentioned you like to make spore syringes with one of those style jars, I have an idea how to make liquid culture syringes, however for a spore syringe do you just put spores in water and fill the syringe? or how does the process of making a spore syringe differ from making a liquid culture. I know LC is the liquid mycelium, and spore syringe is the spore. Thank you again

GARY!!! josh here (again) in Colorado springs.. you helped me find my flowhood (modular cleanrooms) and you were gonna come to my lab for some consulting.. Quick question for ya gary.. i have a tea business and i want to get on amazon but im not sure what app to use for my product thumbnails.. all of your thumbnails always look so awesome.. any advice on what apps to use? thanks again man.. ive been a subscriber and admirer of you for a few years now..i was subscriber 4,000 ish and im always sending my friends to your Etsy for gourmet strains etc..

Thanks I needed this. My idea (what I'm presently using) of the early days is the original jar lids I modified with hobby lobby felt and silicone. I'm assuming all of the components of these lids are vulcanized right?

yo Gary, what’s up with discount code for master LC lids? I watch your videos, religiously and over and over and over again whenever I need a reference, but I find a whole world of useful information from you and your company I appreciate all your hard work. I appreciate you putting this information out there for all of us to view and learn from I appreciate 🫵Thank you.🥰

Hey. I had a question about the advanced lid with the clip to prevent back flow. 1. How do you extract a full syringe of LC when there is air in the tube? When I try it only fills about 4cc 2. When you snap the clip to close the tubing, how do you expel the liquid in between the syringe and clip to prevent air in the system and prepare for subsequent LC extractions? Thanks!

Where did you get your laminar flow hood from?

So do you still wrap up your tops with aluminum foil or do you just let's set them in there like the ones for the syringes

Do you know what type of tubing is used for the lids?

The one with the clamp...doesn't solution get stuck between the clamp and the tip where you insert the syringe, and then spill out when you pull the syringe off?

How do the mycology lids tubing not get contaminated after pressure cooking?

Gary, some of the parts on your list seem to only have a temp rating of 175F. Have you found this to not be a problem?

Have u posted links for the parts to make the lc lids

i was awake this morning

So you can PC these with the tubbing?

Just ordered some Porcini LC. I have not been able to find it anywhere in Australia. Has be be the most I have ever paid for an LC. AU $68

Hey how are your planted morels doing this morel season do a video please we live close in proximity and I’ve been trying new things too

Small question:- while the culture is being preserved in fridge, is it necessary to do fresh transfers every 2-3 months as they run out of nutrients??

I'm sure your aware of the mono tub tek, and flushes. How do you feel about using grain water for misting and rehydration for flush?

Love the vid! Unrelated question but do you have any thoughts, opinions or any hot-takes on why Paul Stamets wouldn't comment on the portabelo mushroom industry in his latest apearence on JRE ? Personally I I think he contains a dogwistle in his response for myco nerds saying in passing "its a very explose issue" from my very limited research I think its because portabellos contain a compound 'ageritine' which, apart from being carcinogenic can be used as an ingredient to make 💥?!? Pauls response to joe was really weird and exeptionally jarring. I also just cant believe that the gormet mushroom industry has 😴r agents ready to take someone out just at the mere mention of the potential issue but then again maybe im blissfully naive 🤷‍♀️ As i say i havent done a lot of research but though I would ask yourself as you're wayyyy more clued up on this whole sphere on knowledge than myself lol 😆 so yeah... TL;DR : Why are portabello mushrooms bad Gary ?

What about aerating ur liquid culture with an air pump and filters. Almost like brewing a compost tea.

How to sterilize injection ports?

you do realize the back of those syringes are open and exposed and then you aspirate back and forth you are introducing contaminates right. 8:37

The problem with putting a syringe on immediately after inoculation is that the majority of the syringe is exposed to open air until you decide to take your first sample.

I think mycolids is not selling these lids anymore...do you any other valid source to get them?

That’s nowhere near a half a gallon jar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
