    Hi guys, love the idea as I too have been stooged over the past month.

    A & B both send prints (or print and payment respectively) to C. When C receives both, he forwards them on simultaneously.

    If either is a no-show, he sends the one that did turn up back, or holds on to it until the next trade.

    To streamlne the process how about when you send in your sample you also include a stamped self adressed envelope.

    The librarian then just needs to transfer the spore prints then drop the envelopes back in the post.

    I am unable to act as a librarian, but I would happily contribute 6 B+ prints, for microscopy purposes only to get the collection going.

    Hey Omsource

    The humidifier has a small fan that helps to blow the mist into the greenhouse, that seems to help with the air exchange. On hot days I do fan out the greenhouse with a bit of cardboard but when it's below 28 I don't usualy bother.

    I have thought about rigging up a small fan on a timer but im happy with the current results so I might leave that for another day.

    I have a 4 tier PVC greenhouse, about 180cm m tall and 70cm x 50 cm wide, so it's a bit smaller than yours.

    Having said that I have the humidifier on a timer and only run it for 5 mins every 3 hours on a fairly low setting.

    The unit puts out a decent stream of cool water vapor and attaching a 2 meter tube hasn't affected the performance at all.

    Good luck mate.

    Here you go mate, give this a go

    Get a tube from Bunnings, jam it in the top and run it into the greenhouse.

    Works a treat, and it has plenty of capacity so you can leave it for hours.

    I use a timer with mine, haven't had any problems for a couple of years now.

    Chuck them in a lingerie bag, it's like a mesh bag with a zip on it.

    Peg this to the front of a pedestal fan and leave it on for a few hours till they go crisp.

    After this into an airtight container with damp rid like meanies suggested until cracker dry. :P

    the yellow shit is bad right?

    Yeah, looks bad, but hard to tell from the pic, it could just be a hollow in the cake that has formed a small patch of moisture.

    You may be lucky but unfortunately I doubt it. Keep trying, and above all else keep it clean, real clean.

    beginning with a purchase of several bags of vermiculite that ended up being very fine (there is no indication of grade on the bags, which sucks)

    This is the stuff, available from most Bunnings about $6 a bag.

    A mushroom is only going to be effected by oxidization at the point where it has been cut (Or so I would assume), so the base of the stem is going to lose some potency.

    So does that mean that i shouldn't cut my shrooms before drying?

    I usually split them in half length ways and dry them by the fan, before finishing off with some desiccant.

    If the oxidisation affects the potency then perhaps i'll stop cutting them..
