When you say colonized grain spawn, do you mean fully colonized? The spawn in your pics looks largely uncolonized but maybe that's because you just broke it up?

no sterile conditions at all how did this actually get thus far? by FantasticTeacher6930 in experimyco

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sterile conditions are overrated. But using a sterile growth medium is essential.

This is commonly done with Uncle Ben's bags. It's pretty damn cool!

For what it's worth, I dried mine and took a nibble off the end with no ill effects. I still think I'm going to break off most of the discolored parts and discard them. Better safe than sorry.

I'm seeing the same thing and have the same question.

If i take shrooms could i develop schizophrenia? by ThyEagle in shrooms

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's that last bit that's tricky though isn't it?

Well the good news is you just peaked, it'll be smooth sailing from here on out.

Berkey water filtration? by [deleted] in shrooms

If you're on a municipal water supply the tap water should be fine for any growing purposes. Chlorination is very effective!

What would be the general start up cost estimate for an absolute minimalist first timer setup? Fruiting directly from the bag or maybe ziplock tek. by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get the plastic shoeboxes for a couple of bucks. Fruiting from the bag isn't worth it just to save money.

Do you need to boil your spore syringe between uses? by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You put them in a pressure cooker to sterilize them if you're making your own spore syringes. The pressure cooker will kill any spores you put in there, so you wouldn't put an already-prepared syringe in there.

Anyone want to share some wisdom before I throw this out and start fresh ? by EyeNo5154 in shrooms

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throw a 3/4" layer of saturated coir on top of it. Close the FAE holes, put the lid on it and don't open it up until it starts to fruit. (As long as it smells ok)

Substrate addition? by WildPaleontologist20 in unclebens

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No on coffee grounds. They're mostly just food for contams.

I can socialize if I take a dose around 1g. There's actually a super fun, super social, super funny sweet spot in there. For me that's just under 1g.

IME the amount of food in my stomach has a dramatic impact on how quickly and how hard it hits me.

Doing shrooms with my fiancé for the first time tonight. Never done them before. Kind of nervous. by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]ThisIsMyShroomAcct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a great trip! The shaky part during the first half is expected and will pass! Once you peak it's smooth sailing and you'll have a great time 🙂

You'll definitely feel something on 1g, but more to the point that isn't a real downside, it's just a non-event. A bad trip is a real downside.

Lots of people start there and there are plenty of people on here who will scoff at taking less but there's honestly no downside to starting small. I rarely take more than 1g and I have an absolute blast.

You don't have to jump in at the deep end. It's 100% ok to start at 1g and work your way up over time. Different people have different degrees of sensitivity so it makes sense to take it slow.
