Beauty flow box, must be nice to work in a contaminant free airstream. Right now I run a HEPA air cleaner in my workspace for a few hours & hope for the best. One of thes days I'll splurge.

I live in the Rutland area VT. I wish I lived closer to Burlington, that is where there are 2 mycology clubs.

Yes the clean air is a beautifull thing.

The hepa is actually a unit, I think it is able to be in place of a celing tile. I bought it used, only a couple of hours on it though. It is like 4X2 feet!
It is made by a company called "clean-ceil".

That is high teck, and the 25q autoclave, but my elderbrach is stll low tech.

No design really. It just seems that allmost any blender blade will fit a regular or a wide mouth ball jar. I found that out many years ago.

I would usually use a smaller jar (pint) so that it is easier to get the mycillium smoothie out. But I only had a quart jar handy.

And allmost all blenders are dishwasher safe, and it seems that allways makes them autoclave safe.


If the blender screw bottom doesn't fit the jar, just screw the blade and washer down with the ring lid for the canning jar. Although this makes it a little unstable when blending. You have to hold it down, and it is a little scarry.

Oh yea, make sure that the blades don't scrape the glass or anything.

If you have to go out and buy a blender, make sure that it fits a jar before you throw away the recipt. And I prefer the ones with a metal drive. I really hate those toothy plastic drives. The toothy drives make it allmost if not entirely neccesery to use the screw bottem forom the blender.
I have been thinking about seeing if I can find cheap replacement blades for my blender. Or at least ones with the same drive gear.Then I could mix a few diffrent types of mushrooms the same night. I find little time to play, and it would be nice to maximize the use of my time.

That's it!

CAUTION: using glass canning jars can be dangerous, do not operate blender while holding the jar. Severe injury can result if the jar breaks. Plastic Oster brand plastic Mini Blending jars are recommended.

Once again I say be carefull.
Came across this on the web.

They are useing my tecnique for blending fish or something.
They give the part #'s for blades that fit mason jars. And I found the blades on the web for $6.95. Now, if they fit my blender I will be all set.
