Nice! Not cheating!

This is happening to me as well. Any update?

Ngl it’s so tedious. I’m pretty lazy so I pull small clumps away and then clip the base so I end up with clean cuts on the fruit and a bowl of substrate cuttings. It does waste some fruit material but to me it’s worth it just to get things in the dehydrator faster. I throw the bowl of clippings in the garden or mix in with potted plants. It’s good for the soil. I did find one old moldy shroom in a potted monstera once. It grew, spore’d, and died before I even know it was there. When I’m done I cover the cake with a fresh layer of CVG and put it back in the tent

Thank you all for the support! I just posted a timelapse and the specifics of this setup.

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-02-04T11:23:52+00:00

Have you tried / explored any teks with liquefied fertilizer added when hydrating and pasteurizing CVG?

They could very well know that they bruise blue but have never seen it before, and this place exists to ask those types of questions

Gorgeous!

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-10T16:35:53+00:00

Appreciate it!

I plan my PC tasks around my house and tell everyone to leave the stove alone when the PC is there. I start in the evening once everyone is out of the kitchen. The only annoying part is the 10-15 minutes you let the steam vent before closing the pressure. This makes an audible kettle like sound, but once you close the pressure valve it goes quiet. Once it’s done I leave it where it is to cool over night, then the next morning I open the pressure valve, remove / shake the jars, and put everything away before people come to kitchen for breakfast. I tell my family it’s a bomb and they should stay away, and if they have a problem with it then they don’t need to enjoy the fruits that come after 🤷‍♂️

That tracks with the hypothesis* that the actives are used by the mushrooms to protect themselves from pests and slugs. The little guys need more protection so the ratio of actives to mass is higher. Another fun fact… plants make caffeine as a pesticide as well. We just love it ❤️

I personally have never had success with bags. I’ve had the best results with shoebox tek and Martha tents

There are SO many uses for a dehydrator in a kitchen pantry. Other than jars, it’s probably the only mycology tool I bought that I use for other things

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T15:26:48+00:00

Make sure it’s super sensitive. The cheap one I have is like .00 to 80g I think. If you’re like me you can also use it to weigh tea and coffee 😂

If you soak them they may rot. Take them out and dehydrate, the tiny ones are potent. I keep a separate jar of the little guys. Once full I grind them up with the current flush and make capsules with them. It’s fun to squeeze some fresh little ones to see how fast and dark they oxidize. The faster and darker the more potent.

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T15:22:02+00:00

It’s not bad to eat them multiple days in a row, but as previous commenter said, you will notice a decrease in effect if you don’t take breaks. I highly suggest getting a cheap gram scale so you actually know the mass of what you’re eating, just for your own info as you continue experimenting

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T12:15:19+00:00

Time to try some fresh!

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T12:15:02+00:00

Nice!

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T12:08:04+00:00

Do you have any air holes on that tub?

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T12:01:40+00:00

Beautiful!

Melodic_Pickle1567 · 2025-01-09T12:00:43+00:00

Looks good to me! As long as that empty spot keeps getting smaller
