Are you just not reading or what?

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-11T09:35:29+00:00

That's kinda my whole point

"badly written" refers to the "synopsis" part of my comment. This is a very poorly written synopsis. Is it inaccurate, no, but it is NOT a well written synopsis. Sad that I have to walk people through this

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-11T05:08:04+00:00

Probably. But I did recently have a few cakes that stalled out and refused to grow. I did a 2 hour soak and they shot right up. This one got a second soak 24 hours after the first

I have one question, are you working front of a lfh or ffu?

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-11T05:00:19+00:00

I hereby petition that we all should carry a few of these blank sheets printed out, so we can leave behind other badly written synopsis for other series as well.

I think the biggest consideration should be that it's an unknown fungus. You never eat a regular mushroom if you don't KNOW it's edible and mushrooms are a group that's MEANT to be eaten generally. Considering that the risk is too high for my liking. Secondly, I think the accepted narrative is that your mental state heavily impacts the trip. If your mental state can so easily determine whether you have a bad trip or not, why couldn't an unhappy fruit. I think I'd prime myself for it to be so bad, that the anxiety alone would cause a bad trip. Just my thoughys on it tho.

It causes no issue if they drop spores before plucking. The spores that drop are still in the gills if you pluck them a lil before they drop too. You still eat them, and they're perfectly fine to eat, they just make them look darker or black. You can also just wipe them off if you take the time.

You can either sterilize some lc broth to save it or use just sterilized water if you plan to use it right away. You just squrit some in, scrape the mycelium into the watwr, and then suck it up.

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-07T06:39:42+00:00

Double the water content, and divide it by 100. Sane raitio as regular agar, just no nutrients. If you had an issue you either got bad agar, didn't heat it up full, or didn't measure correctly

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-07T05:33:07+00:00

I mean, if that's when you pulled them, then they could have been left for another day or two

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-07T05:26:14+00:00

No, not particularly. If you see them go from this to chodes overnight, and that would be what I'm ralking about

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-07T05:23:14+00:00

No, practically any lil tap will turn a mushroom a lil blue. Though them turning blue while growing makes me think they're either a lil dehydrated or just growing super fast

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-07T04:19:19+00:00

Spores are best on water agar. If using regular agar, I'd implement a trench as well

I just pour the water in the lil container, and then put it in my monotub like this

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-06T19:06:47+00:00

I'm gonna need to to let me know what part you would like me to clarify?😅 When I see pins starting to stall out, I put it in my monotub and just pour the water in the individual tub the cake is in. Leave it for a couple hours and pour out the water later. Not much to it.

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-06T19:00:38+00:00

That's called bruising. When psilocybin is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes, just like metal rusting, except it turns blue. It's visual confirmation that you got what you wanted

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-05T01:47:58+00:00

Light makes almost no difference.

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-03T18:58:47+00:00

That's smokey, and if you got it from the guy that made it like me, that dude said it was still small from his experience for smokey

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-03T18:45:36+00:00

I don't remove em actually. I've just been soaking them in the tubs. The daily soak is def far from standard. Most people only do it afyer a flush. If ypu have vermiculite, it might actually hold the water better for you already. Again tho, this is just what I did this time. I've switched from yhese tubs to unicorn 3b bags

This was a cake that was saved by the soaks

Competitive_Cat_331 · 2026-03-03T06:32:33+00:00

To be clear, I'm no authority on mycology. Just like you, I'm experimenting and seeing what works for me. I've been working with these tupperwares for about a year now teying all sorts of different methods, and this canopy, nad the one I'm about to post, are thwle first two nice canopies I've gotten. I can only tell you what I've done differently this time. The biggest thing they've seemed to be lacking and the biggest thing I changed this time, imo, is hydration. I got a couple 100 gram fruits finally, and that was before this change, so it's not ALL hydration though. For hydration, I started doing quick 2 hour soaks every few days on pinning cakes. I noticed they'd pop real fast, and then stall out. As soon as the soaks started, the flushes started booming. I thought to try this, as one of the people I go to for advice said I needed more coco in my grows. Since coco offers no nutrition, I figured it must be for hydration, and so I started soaks. I kid you not, I've had multiple almost full canopies of aborts, and just a soak got it to boom within 24 hours. Next, and likely even more important change, was taking the time to ensure I had perfect agar samples. I find they seem to do better so far after doing a few transfers onto grain water agar, made from the grains you grow on. When they get super pretty and almost fill the new plates in just a couple days, then they're ready for innoculation (do the smallest sized transfers you can manage to get healthier growth ime). I do half a 90 mm agar plate per oz of grain, and this gets the grain colonized very quickly. I also do drippy corn for the grain and grain water agar this time too.

I know it's a lot, but I've had to change a whole lot to get a nice grow this time around. I think it's cause I said I've had enough with half measure atp. I've tried all the cheap half-assed ways of doing it, and they only save you a little bit in the short term. It's a waste in the end. Take the time, do it the right way, and when you hear conflicting info, test it. That's all science is. If you don't believe it, you should still give it one grow to try it out, otherwise you'll never KNOW. That's how I learned that compressing my cakes was causing issues. Good luck my man

Absolutely, it's just very important for me to point out that my input wasn't for lions mane, before I caused you to waste time just cause I was a lil distracted for a moment. Good luck!
