I'll start with the Canning Funnel. Makes working with grain & culture jars so much easier. It's also handy for refilling water filter cartridges with fresh media.

These are great for misting your substrate. These are made for hairstylist. Cheap and provide a very fine mist.
These are cheaply made but for a buck @ the $ storeI'll start with the Canning Funnel. Makes working with grain & culture jars so much easier. It's also handy for refilling water filter cartridges with fresh media.

Heres another one .......a diy still air box. Its a game changer for keeping contamination at bay and its a hell of a lot cheaper than a flow hood.

@Ramblinrose1965 mentioned this tool in one of the diary threads so giving credit for a great addition to the mycologists' tool chest: A dental or similar inspection mirror to check if the veil under the mushroom cap has separated to know if it's ready to pick:
This $4 one from Harbor Freight Tools is extendable to over 19" and has a 1-1/4" diameter mirror.

This is not a tool but more of a procedure. I have always used plastic bags for a liner in my tubs.........Well this run I got lazy and neglected to line my tubs with plastic bags. I just harvested my first flush. I had to cut the substrate in half with a knife so I could harvest the shroomz growing on the underside of the substrate. I had more shrooomage on the bottom of the substrate than on the top side. Lesson learned DO NOT be lazy and line those tubs people. What a PITA.

They look like they'll be perfect for my sterlite 1862 shoeboxes.
I got my mag stirrer and stir bars off Amazon, too.
