The chute! The “old lab” is now the sterilization area… All the sterilizers are in there and that’s where we now prepare the grain and sawdust bags. To get them to the “new lab”, we built a chute! Just started using it this week. So much fun… We also purchased some new bins that fit perfectly in the chute.
Still lots to figure out for our work processes but it’s coming together! New clean air system isn’t quite finished yet and some finishing touches are to be done. More shelving to be installed and another flow hood to be built… To do list never ends.
We talked about building this space when we first started Fungi Akuafo! Amazing to see it come to life. Remember, we started with a tiny flow hood in the kitchen. Looking forwarding to spending much time in the new space.

This is exactly something I was considering! but had not seen anyone else doing so. Nice to find someone who has done this.
