This is still WIP but my induction heater is Open Hardware:

This OSH hot plate looks cool. I would also love an OSH magnetic stirrer.
BTW, this isn't limited to #bitcoin gear. Some other examples would be a #meshtastic, #OpenAir weather station, c0pperdragon's Hot Plate https://www.tindie.com/products/c0pperdragon/hot-plate/ or whatever else people might be interested in. #Decentralize the world.

Sorry that link was bad. Here is a link to all my mushroom related hardware and software https://github.com/lightningspore/mushroom-monorepo
I tried growing mushrooms (outside) and it was a completele failure. Worst of all, we don't know what we did wrong. We followed the instructions that came with the spores...
Amyway, what's of this equipmemt for? Is it for producing the spores, or indoor growing, or something else?
The induction heater thing I am working on allows you to quickly and easily heat up a scalpel when germinating spores on a petri dish. You can clean up a culture on a Petri dish then send to grain, then send to woodchips or other things. It’s just better to clean a culture before trying to expand it but not always necessary.
Send me more details about what you did and I can provide advice about how to maybe do it better next time. I don’t have a lot of experience growing outdoors but a lot of the concepts are the same.
We had two types, and I can look up the names if it'd be helpful.
Break into egg sized pieces, bury it in 3" of compost. Keep wet.
Wet cardboard, layer of wood chips, crumble and spread the spore on top. Keep wet.
Our best guess was that we didn't keep it wet enough. 🤷♂️
I’m curious what you were breaking up into pieces. Spores are usually in a syringe
