Better explanation, thanks.

But isn't the point of straining to remove particulates that would
otherwise clog a sprayer nozzle? If particulates end up the in nylon
stocking, then you are saying the fungi will get stuck there too -- on the
particulates?

Thanks,
Paulette

What I thought I said was that the hyphae get caught in the material that
builds up on the filter or the strainer. As long as you don't get residue
build up, straining is ok. When hyphae have to go through accumulated
material, with small passageways, like felt bag material, small
particulates that accumulate on nylon screens, then the fungi end up in the
sludge, not in the tea.

Did I get the explanation better this time?
