Still Air Box vs. Flow Hood In Mushroom Cultivation

At some point in the career of every aspiring mycologist, a phase is reached where they want to go beyond basic growkits and cultivation practices. They want to make grain spawn, work with agar, clone mushrooms, germinate spores, or simply reduce their rates of contamination. 

This is where Still Air Boxes and Flow Hoods generally enter the picture. These tools allow growers to work in a controlled environment where contamination can be significantly reduced or eliminated. They are absolutely necessary for many of the advanced techniques used in mushroom growing. They make up the “heart” of any laboratory, be it a professional-grade lab, or a DIY home lab you prop up in the corner of a spare bedroom.
