Winter Fabric Tiedowns, Cold Oyster Mushrooms

2026-01-23

These are current pics of two of the straw media growing PoHu Oyster mushrooms in the fruiting room. They are pretty close to being harvested. I don't have enough experience yet to determine just how far away from "harvest time" the mushrooms are at any given time. This will become more important as I start to try to sell fresh mushrooms to customers that order in advance for delivery on a particular date. I have created a Perl script to track inoculation dates, pinning dates, harvest dates, and harvest weights. Once I start a regular cycle of batches, I should be able to make better decisions about that. For now, the fruiting room is not even heated, so it is staying close to ablot 45 degrees, which in turn (I expect anyway) tends to slow down the growth. Hmmm, if that is correct, it may be a viable tool to get the mushrooms mature on just the right date. I won't be starting any more until I finish most of the pasteuration shed and get the temperature sensors working correctly.
I am going to try this method of holding the greenhouse fabric over the tea plants. I put a piece of Gorilla Duct Tape on either side of the fabric, and a third piece wrapped around the other two over the edge. Hopefully that will reinforce the fabric enough for the plastic screw-down clips to not rip out chunks of it. Note that this is just to keep the fabric from being pulled off by the wind, especially when I have a couple edges up in the air to keep it from getting too hot under there in the sun. There is no tension on the fabric otherwise. Yes, yet another experiment .

The bowl contains a few Mashua tubers we grew aging this year. We tried them in a soup/stew, but found them a bit overpowering with a bit too much minty flavor. We will be more cautious next year. Or maybe stick to salads and eating them raw.

“In order to save glyphosate, the Monsanto corporation has undertaken an effort to destroy the United Nations’ cancer agency by any means possible.”[10]

... " just four companies — Bayer, Corteva (formerly DowDuPont), BASF and Syngenta/ChemChina — controlled 75 percent of plant breeding research, 60 percent of the commercial seed market, and 76 percent of global agrichemical sales in 2019."[78]



Just gotta' LOVE glyphosate, right?????

Yes, the second link is old news, but not forgotten and more importantly, as the first link shows, not remedied:

Song by Mike Adams, with spoken lines from Jeffrey Smith

I’m lookin at the food that’s in the grocery store
They say it’s safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don’t really know if it’s made with those GMOs

So I’m lookin for the non-GMO label ‘fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it’s verified so I don’t
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don’t want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They’re gonna hurt us we know
It’s time we told ‘em to go, say GMO NO!

I don’t want eat poison, I don’t want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it’s a food abomination what they doin’ to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they’re spreadin’ their lies
Monsanto (Bayer now!) destroyin’ farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it’s safe even though they all know it’s just
poison stealing away your life, and that’s what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that’s a corporate myth
if you don’t believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He’s the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It’s a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don’t wanna live genetically modified

Don’t eat food unless you know what’s in it
Don’t believe the propaganda cuz the press will spin it
Affects everybody, we all up in it
Stand up to Monsanto (Bayer now!), tell ‘em oh no you didn’t

Reject Frankenfoods in the store
demand honest labels so we can be informed
We have a natural right to know
What we buyin’ Just say no to GMO

Before our farms start dyin’
Just say no to GMO

Those corporate crooks are lyin’
Just say no to GMO

This time we’re not complyin’
Just say no to GMO

We’re just not buyin’ it
Just say no to GMO
