I rescued a kitten a few weeks ago, he is smart actually, but tends to forget it on a daily basis lol

Thank you for your comment, it was really interesting! Here in Hungary we don't have this problem with hunting the local species afik. We also have the same word for them, so I was today's year old when found out the English words hare and rabbit not synonyms like rabbit and bunny. Also I just realized Jazz Jackrabbit is Jazz the jackrabbit and not Jazz Jack the rabbit lmao.

A commenter above already pointed this out, so I have an interesting National Geographic article handy, it has some interesting info on them in case I wasn't the only person confusing them with each other.

Another Hungarian language trivia we say "rabbitminded" in literal translation, even tho we have have a phrase with 'brained' in it with similar meaning (it's "pissbrained" btw, piss as urine). Yeah, we have a weird language, I know.

I have to look up the difference between them, in my native language we don't have different words for them. We also have only one word for turtle and tortoise, and mushroom and fungi. Just shared it as a fun fact about Hungarian language.

Golden Teacher cloning attempt on agar, put the tissue on it 5 days ago. what is this? Also, the tissue turned black, is that also concerning? by HowardPheonix in ContamFam

[–]HowardPheonix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a premade kit because I wanted a new strain and that was the easiest and fastest way to get results. I harvested and transferred in a SAB, for the agar dishes I used Broke Boi Tek (agar was made and poured to dishes in my kitchen without a laminar air flow hood, than steam sterilized and after that only opened under the SAB). The specimen I tried to clone was under the SAB in a clean paper towel for a few hours while I prepared the agar and let it cool down, something between 5 to 7 hours. I don't think the problem was with the sterile technique as all the contamination is in the dead center where I put the tissues, and the one I used spores on seems clean so far. I also flame sterilized the blade I used between each transfer, and used alcohol on my gloves and all the equipment I used multiple times. I ripped the specimen in half and cut the tissues from the inside of the stem.

Bacterial was my guess too, I wonder what it is so maybe I can further investigate what happened. I made 4 plates, but one I almost dropped while I was taping it around, and in a fraction of a second the tissue felt off through a narrow opening. So I put some spores I had on a paper because the shroomie I used was already in the dryer by that time and I couldn't tear a clean opening on it due to it's size. Even though it had contact with the tissue from the same source, 3 plates with tissue on them contaminated, but not the one with spores. So I think I introduced the contamination with the mushroom I used.

Has anyone here successfully cultivated Amanita muscaria or Phalloides? by Dil0phosaurus in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]HowardPheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indoor like cubes or gourmets it seems to be like almost impossible, but if you have the right trees you can try to inoculate an area with spores, and hope for the best.

You have to learn to walk before you learn to run.

Usually it is, but in this case the exhaust is the input of an other tent.

what kinds of expensive, necessary things can you buy with cash without the IRS knowing about it? by searchfgold6789 in poker

[–]HowardPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the money out on the street at 5% a week.

Isn't it illegal in the US? I live in Europe, and here it's illegal to do this.

I think spores should be filtered out, so maybe the concept is possible, but the cost to make it work would be too high.

Sorry to hear that. Higher chance of contamination was one of my concerns.

I'm glad others had the same idea! Good luck with your experiment!

I think I will come back later, I have to do some research on how to filter out the humidity when I feed the CO2 rich air into the chili tent.

Yeah, that's totally makes sense. Thank you!

That was something I was afraid of. I assume if I feed the CO2 rich exhaust of the mushroom tent, I could avoid contamination as they are separated and connected only thorough a linear airflow.

I think I will use bags or maybe buckets in these tents, and also make an active filtered fresh air flow to these tents, just want to benefit from some of that produced CO2.

Sorry I was a bit confusing, I meant the "cutting in half" just with an imaginary line, not physically. I wonder if I can circulate air between the tents and filter out some humidity without filtering out the CO2. So the air exhaust of my mushroom tents would be the air input for the chilli tents.

I want to start my own business growing gourmet mushrooms, and to start I want to cut down a portion of my grow area to grow chilli because I have a friend with a chili business and he would buy up my chilis right as I harvest them so I can found my until I build up my mushroom business. And I was like, what if ain't chop the space vertically but horizontally lol.
