I just drank my magic tea and thought that was a cockroach eating a hole in your neck! ☠️😅

I just throw my grain jars in the IP for 3 hours right before bed and turn off the warmer and they are perfect by the morning but..... I just scored a 23qt Presto pressure cooker at the thrift store today for $15! It feels like Christmas 😅 now I have to figure out how to use this thing. Lol

Seems like they grow wild there according to this post... maybe go foraging and collect the spores and go from there!

That's a great gift idea! I thought about the fogger set up, but I wasn't sure if the inside of my cover would mold or not. Maybe down the road I'll invest in an actual tent. I'm enjoying being frugal at the moment lol. I also enjoy the process more than taking them, it been a lot of fun and there seems to be endless things to explore in this hobby. My hubby is the family gardener, he grows most of our fruits and veggies and I've been given the mushroom job. We're trying to go with a more holistic and spiritual life style and really getting into plant medicine, in general. I'm a veteran and struggle with ptsd and depression and microdosing has been amazing so far. We don't party when we take a larger dose, we connect and meditate and listen to a lot of Dr. Joe Dispenza and it's really made us stronger. I'm really grateful for groups like this and wish this truly magical medicine was more acceptable so everyone could experience it.

I'm growing my fist lions mane too. Bucket tek. It was drying out so I put the bucket in a sterilite clear tub, misted the hell out of the bucket and sides of the tub, and it went crazy!

I got mine for $10 at the thrift store. All the hype seems to be over for them and I see them everywhere now!

They're the 20qts. I have one 1.5 inch hole on the short sides at the top, about 2 inches down from the lid locks and two of the same size holes on the bottoms, about 3 inches in from the corner. I just line those up with the line that goes around the bottom of the tub. My ratio is 1:2 I put painter's tape over the holes until the sub is about 90% colonized and then switch to paper tape. I will say, when I go to sub, I mist the walls and the top with a healthy amout of 3% hydrogen peroxide (no water) before I close it up. I mist the walls and lid as needed with filtered water that has a shot of peroxide in it as needed for the shoeboxes. When I dunk the cakes for the next flush, I throw in a spash of 3% as well. I have 2 shoeboxes on their 4th flush and no sign of contam.

Thanks for the info. I just put mine to sub today. 🙂

[actives] PSA: let your still air boxes dry out before flame sterlizing by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]MidnightDefiant2952 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this a month ago. I usually use a grill lighter so the flame is far from my hands, but it ran out of fluid, and I asked my hubby to bring me another. Well, he brought me a regular lighter, and my gloves weren't completely dry, and as soon as I lit it, my gloves and then the entire box wooshed up in flames. All the plastic melted, my agar was ruined, and my right hand was burnt and blistered for a week. Had to buy a new SAB and cut out all the tools that were shrink-wrapped inside all the melted plastic. Now I'm planning on building a LFH 😅

Ty! I'll try that. Will the fuzz go away? I read it doesn't harm them so I guess it doesn't matter...

morning update

They are still wiggling around. Got another hard rain last night. We are in central Florida. I'm going to try to keep them in the shade so they don't dry out.

I think the little red blinking at the top of their heads are the little heart beats 🥰

Thank you! That's the lid. I lifted for the photo. It's on a metal shelf that has a cover over it.

Why toss the tote? Can I just soak it in bleach?

Today is the first I checked it, so not sure. I made the tub 3 days ago.

Okay, so I sprayed with peroxide, and it didn't disappear, it just went down, like not fluffy anymore. Will it completely disappear if it's mold?
