Just tried to save tray with iso and UVC. By time you see it, it is everywhere including bottom of tray.

Magic Mushroom Grow Kit?

Phase 2 begins today. one Amazon and one Nepal jar are ready for the bins. the other two jars are not as far along. and it dawned on me that putting a little extra culture in one of the pair of jars allows me to stagger the binning without having to get more gear.
so, a quart jar of mycelium into a bin with 6# of manure substrate. one for Amazon, one for Nepal. closed lid. in the dark for 4 weeks (?) to fully colonize the substrate ... may have to add the heating mats under the bins. it's February and cold here on east coast.

I had pretty good results with their AIO bag. These are Purple Mystics I grew recently. I need to soak it to get the next run. CL

what is that growing out the tops of those? looks like contaminant imo.
Rosecomb... it's generally caused by contact with chemicals and non food safe plastics...
Considering the teddy bear composition I am not shocked.
Noticed honey not mentioned here. Found out what I was told decades ago about freezing is not the best for cubes. Grinding them up and mixing with honey will make them last a long time without decrease in quality. The potency distributes throughout the honey in a few weeks, and it has no oxygen, which is what decays psylocibin over time. Also to dry at low temp.
i really like that idea about the honey. i grind the dried shrooms anyway, so this will be something new to try. i've been using honey in my morning coffee so this is synergistic timing. the honey keeping out the oxygen is epic.
i dry at room temperature: slice the shrooms lengthwise in half, 24 hours open air with a ceiling fan for mild airflow, then in a closed container with desiccant packs for several more days until crispy. then grind. store in tightly sealed 4oz mason jars and into the freezer. jars don't last long enough to consider vacc sealing.
all that as a way to review my past tek - starting fruiting today or tomorrow for two bins - it's been 4 weeks with good mycelium coverage that looks stable. just needing to review what i did last several goes. and gather advice.

Do you use food processor, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle. I need to do this soon to store for a long time.
Did .75 gram with lime juice, and crazy strong. Had to lay down after an hour, and tried to sleep. A few weeks ago did 3 grams in freezer for years with lime and just got really high, so shocked when 3/4 of gram was too much.
I recall the younger guys making blue honey back twenty five years ago.
The novelty proved rather toxic and fresh shrooms were shunned in place of dried and powdered boomers for that specific application. Be safe.
I used a coffee grinder and 75 grams of mutants and stumps for 750 mL of 151 vodka and steeped for a day at room temperature and three months in the freezer... I used a French press to filter it and lost the damned thing due to the fact that the shroom sludge was like limed concrete.
One French press wasn't that bad but I lost quite a bit of volume of extract to that gross gray glob of glop as well.
But the fates saw it fit that what remained not only had it worked, but it was easily dosed.
It started out golden but turned blue over the next few months, keeping it in the freezer... but it worked. It worked very well.
Much like boiling into (or as) a tea or extraction via citrus soaks, the alcohol extract is fast acting and quick to come down from.
Easy dosing for maximum control is the only reasonable benefit besides body load and chitosan reaction.
I still prefer them fresh or dried, as plain as Ms. America circa 1839. I enjoy starting with a gram or two and having ten times that to munch on throughout the trip.

i use a coffee grinder and do them in small batches at a time.
No offense, but In my opinion, people want targeted videos, not about everything and anything. If he goes that route, should have a list of what is covered, and exact point in video at beginning of videos, create scripts and edit. Favorite videos are concise and on point, like plants in jars videos. Stopped at 2 minutes when no clear description, went back and done at 3 minutes when it was about all this stuff I have no interest in.
i agree. i skipped ahead and he eventually gives a thumbs up review of costa rican strain being super duper for depression. i can't find that strain in my normal sources. my bins are busy for a while but may get his gear after that.
finally switched my two bins to fruiting - dome lid, more fresh air, LED above. waiting for pins.

I'm going to get a bag from Amazon and spores from spore works? Are they still like $10? I can't wait to trip again. Been like 13 years. I'm 43.
Sporeworks has them. Do not waste much light on them since the do not do photosynthesis. A cfl for them to know which way to grow.
Sporeworks has a couple on sale for $12 now, but usually $18. If looking for strong, tidal wave I found to be too strong, doing 3/4 gram with lime juice.
I grew tidal wave last grow. I thought they were potent but I like other strains effects more, Growing pink buffalo right now.
That is what I am thinking. Like cannabis, it is not just the psilocybin but entourage effect, of the other tryptamines. Will get costa rican and some others. Was great at growing long time ago, but had 9 of 10 trays trich out, so only have tidal wave for now. Threw in honey, since will go bad before I use otherwise. Had some stored in fridge for a long time that really helped depression, and quit drinking for a month, which were unknowns.
@Loc Dog thank-you for that reference. the costa rican is for spouse to try. in my mind, anything to get her off meds. thanks for the info about light. this is a small LED from midwest grow - some gear i got several years ago when i started down this path.
i mentioned this strain to spouse and said i was going to wait for more about it to appear in my stream, and here it is. epic.
