Hey there!

Lovely succinct explanation of the process, thanks guys. I plan on doing some experimenting with growing, so the question I am to ask I can in time figure out for myself, but I am creating an inventory for the equipment I will need to do this as a real experiment into growing mycelial products on a commercial scale.

My question is:
everytime I see products grow from mycelium, they seem to have big parts of material in the final product. Has there been tests conducted that suggest you can get a smoother, more refined final product is you heavily grind the substrate you allow the mycelium to grow within?

Do you have any other useful tips for someone looking to grow products at scale?

Many thanks for your time and consideration!

Hi - These forums are for students working on K-12 (school) science projects. The directions for this project aren't intended for a scaled or commercial venture.

We recommend using other general science forums to get input for growing outside beyond the scope of the project.
