Some more upgrades to this absolute monstrosity of a substrate bagging machine

Part of our substrate mix consists of loose lupin hulls (unpelletized) which are very dusty and messy. We've added a vacuum loader which sucks them straight out of the bulka bags and into the sealed hopper, and automatically refills when it gets low

This particular unit also has a compressed air pulse module. The vacuum filters get clogged very quickly when handling dusty materials, so after every 15 second run it shoots a pulse of compressed air through the filters to knock the dust out.

More upgrades to come: Got a screw auger on the way to test for loading pelletised sawdust into the other side of the hopper. Stay tuned 🤓

Special delivery from Ballarat's own The Mushroom Connection! We’d usually get a visit from owner Jason, so it was a great surprise to meet Phil, Jason's dad.

Amazing mushrooms featured in our Gnocchi.

On this week's episode of I shouldn't be allowed on Alibaba: our new mini 27L 2000w electric autoclave

I was in the market for a smaller steriliser to do small runs of agar, LC, spawn jars etc. Instead of having to run the big boye autoclave for small batches or sit there and babysit my All American or Presto on a gas burner.

This baby had its maiden voyage last week, all limbs still intact and I'm super happy with how it's performing. Honestly wasn't expecting much but I love it. A fraction of the cost of other brands on the market and you can set the time and temp and walk away. 10/10.

Cheap and effective LPT for anyone using a 150L vertical autoclave. Kept having trouble with the narrow end of spawn bags blowing out and expanding during cool-down. Cut 4 lengths of 100mm aluminium angle to keep the bags nice and snug and to make a barrier to stop expansion. Not sure if anyone else has this problem or if I'm just an idiot that's been loading spawn bags wrong for the last 7 years but you're welcome anyway.

Blue Beast oyster. The TMC workhorse. Amazing flavour and texture and killer yields.

Also a very reliable fruiter but don't tell it I said that 🤫🤞

Stoked to finally be able to introduce y'all to a new collaborative venture we've been working on behind the scenes for a while now

Introducing , a new fully licensed commercial lab dedicated to producing the absolute highest quality mushroom extracts using 100% Aussie inputs. The lab producing our new range of functional mushroom tinctures

A joint venture co-founded by myself , .au and our head of lab operations & chief extractionist Dr. Kyle T - armed with degrees in molecular biology, biochemistry and biotechnology, Kyle has the knowledge and expertise to create extracts unrivalled in their quality and purity. We're setting a new standard of quality, and we're setting the bar sky-high

This all came about because we were collectively fed up with these shady companies jumping on the medicinal mushroom hype-train, making outrageous claims with fancy marketing and selling sub-standard harmful imported products to unsuspecting consumers

We believe in the power of mushrooms and want people to have access to safe, locally crafted products of the highest caliber. No clever gimmicks, no deceptive marketing, no bu****it.

We've got some big developments in the works. Game changing s**z. Stay tuned 👀
