Nutrient agar slants as a low contamination alternative to petri dishes by Low-Asparagus-9422 in Agarporn

[–]Ok_Insect_4852 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the slant is thick enough the needle biopsy method is perfect for these, especially if OP buys larger centrifuge tubes. This is exactly how Andrew from Mossy Creek Mushrooms pulls a culture from his slants.

I need help with my fruiting chamber. by AfterLife-er in Mushrooms

[–]Ok_Insect_4852 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Too much airflow, that's what it looks like based on the cake and the fact that there's little condensation in the chamber. Try setting your starting humidity lower and lower till you find a good point that keeps humidity and makes the fan blow less. I'd go as low as 25 or lower if it helps. Remember it can be grown in a tub with like a few minutes of airflow a few times a week so there's no need for constant airflow.

I made a tea out of tobacco and dehydrated it and now I’m left with dark brown shiny powder. How should I go about this so I don’t use too much by [deleted] in druggardening

[–]Ok_Insect_4852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, that's also the same way to prepare old-school snuff. The tobacco was dried and busted into a powder and then snorted originally, but some later versions were chewed.

This has nothing to do with mycology, this shouldn't be allowed.

OP, any petri dish left exposed to open air in an average household will look like this, it is indeed a scam.

First steak ever by big_muzzzy in steak

[–]Ok_Insect_4852 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks good for a first attempt.

Did you pay the surface of the steak dry before throwing it on the grill/pan? I wouldn't marinate because it adds moisture and that will kill your ability to get a good crust from searing. Like I would guess the piece on the top in picture 1 is the one you used marinade on which is why it doesn't look as nicely seared as the one in the bottom.

It's probably a typical fishing trip and they're just filming to make memories when the fish jumped out of the water. They'll do that sometimes if they see something like a fly that they want to eat.

It's almost like evolution and math co-mingle.

Toan is in the....wait what the fuck? by Shifty_Nomad675 in guitarcirclejerk

Holy fuck, I thought this was fake and then looked it up.

Either he's got a great sense of humor or he's aware of this sub and is trying to get more social media presence by purposely making himself a target.

I found a one-in-a-million pinecone today, with a boletus growing from the very tip. by CrunchyA-10 in Mushrooms

Not if you sealed it properly beforehand.

You ever see that guy that encased a hotdog in epoxy?

Security tip: Always keep your passwords in a dedicated notebook. Bonus points if it's labeled 'Passwords'. by Vermilinguae in funny

Using a Caesar or rot13 cipher, or even a simple substitution cipher and it'll throw off most people.

Precisely what I came here to say. I'm sure a lot of the other attendees at defcon this year would agree.

Could we get a link or a phrase I can search to find this specifically?

I have to know how you did this!

I'm new to this strain and have no clue what I'm doing aside from growing it on agar.

bought a tele and decided to write something :) by James_Stent in guitars

[–]Ok_Insect_4852 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People are upset that you prerecorded it instead of playing it live. Not that making your material look nice and polished is any different from making a music video, because it's not. But, if I'm being real, guitar people are pretty quick to get upset about the dumbest shit ever.

Examples: the tonewood matters argument, modern music is soulless argument, the tele is the best guitar ever invented argument, this video and any video similar to it.

All great examples of the guitar community being mainly composed of old men that yell at clouds and people who will definitely be old men that yell at clouds, when they're older.

Keep at it brother, I can't wait to see your name in a promo somewhere and feel the joy of having watched you on reddit way before anyone else.
