He doesn’t have to sit around and listen to that hoodwink! My dude clearly got hogwashed good
They’re edible, then comes the visual fun lol. They’re P. Cubensis 8)
I can’t seem to stop saving (hoarding?) little containers that I think would be fun to grow mushrooms in.
I wanna stigma lemmy in your balls
I did a grow from MSS a while back, and one fruit popped up and matured basically while all the other pins were still teenytiny. Cloned that puppy to agar, and it’s been one of the most aggressive fruiters I’ve had so far! This is a 90 sec rice bag inoculated with agar wedges. I was munchin’ shrooms before I even went S2B haha

It's just frustrating to watch the government bail out failed businesses and forgive their loans time after time while telling citizens to get fucked. A lot of the same people complaining about forgiving student loan debt had no problem taking a PPP loan and not paying it back...
Tried making some blue honey for the first time yesterday! Just went with a small jar for a test run.
Ok so here’s my math on the weights- 3 fluid ounces = 18 teaspoons. 3 fluid ounces of honey weighs approx. 4.5 ounces, or 127 grams.
I ended up putting 120g honey in that little jar, along with 11.5g ground dried cubensis.
Assuming I indeed have 3 fluid ounces or 18tsp of honey, if I divide 11.5 by 18, that would make approx .64 grams per teaspoon.
So that’s about what I was aiming for, but it looks like a jar of doodoo lol. It was also getting pretty thick when mixing. I’m happy, but it definitely doesn’t look like the pictures I see online! Anyway, has anyone else tried this? What’s your recipe/ratio?
I agree with Indicah, if you're a first timer Uncle Ben's tek is the way to go. You can always move up to sterilizing your own grain. I also recommend making and using a still air box (SAB), it will greatly reduce your risk of introducing contamination and make your growing experience much better. Learn and practice sterile techniques. You can never be too careful with sanitization and sterilization.
If you're a visual learner watch the videos on 90 Second Mycology youtube channel, and PhillyGoldenTeacher is awesome too, link also on the sidebar.
shroomery.org has a metric fuckton of information available, but it can be kinda daunting for beginners. Don't let it intimidate you tho, there's lots of good info there. Use the search bar.
Just know that even though there's plenty of ways a grow can go wrong, most of it can be avoided by using sterile techniques. But you dont need anything fancy, just some spores, UB bags, SAB, couple small clear plastic tubs, and some coco coir. Start simple and grow from there :)
If you have any specific questions, ask us! I've found most online shroom communities are chill and helpful, and I'd like to continue that here on lemmy :)
I love it! Especially the raspberry lime. There were a lot of flavors to choose from so I just grabbed these two. I'm out of town for work for the weekend, so I hope the store at home has as good (or better!) of a selection.
It’s kinda handy when you have a fuller canopy and you want to harvest at the perfect time! And more importantly, it’s fun lol :)
Thanks! I ended up cloning the biggest one, gonna get it in a slant and keep it as a master
The more you look at this, the better it gets.

Gonna second this! I was thinking about creating an Uncle Ben's community, but I don't have enough time to moderate. I wonder if Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics will make their way to the Fediverse.
Anyway, if anyone wants more info on the UB tek- check out 90 Second Mycology on youtube. It's a great way to get started in the hobby, or if you can't sterilize your own grain.
edit: Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics if you ever see this comment thanks for all the info, you guys are the reason I'm cultivating today :)
