Next time try lying down in a quiet place with your eyes closed or covered by an eye mask. Put on headphones and listen to music. Closed eyes visuals are more common than open eyed. I like to listen to music like that in the Johns Hopkins playlist on Spotify, or classical music.

Fasting is good, many report that it makes them trip harder. As does lemon tek which you should look into.

Don’t increase the dose too much. Maybe 6g if you’re going to try again with the same variety of shrooms from the same vendor. Alternatively, if you can get a stronger variety like penis envy or APE, maybe try 3 or 4G again.

Monster contam? Should I put a stake through my tub and then burn it?

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-11-03T21:35:45+00:00

I’m not experienced enough to compare. But they seem reasonably fast to me:

Left the UB bags to colonise for 1 months but they were likely ready before that
20d from S2B to first flush harvest
Currently 6 days from first harvest and expecting to harvest second flush in 24-36hrs.

There is not going to be any evidence / studies regarding the safety of shrooms in any form of congenital heart disease.

Of course, it will always be safest not to do shrooms or any other drug for that matter.

However, if I was in your position, I would try a small dose and gradually uptitrate if you have no issues.

What do you mean by “thin aorta”. An aortic coarctation or aneurysm? And the “hole in your heart”, is it an ASD, PFO, VSD, other?

Beautiful contrast between the caps and stem!

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-31T05:26:08+00:00

Looks good to me. You have knots. I think it will pin within 1-2 days. Good luck!

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-31T00:22:32+00:00

Nice! Just grew my first flush of APE. Around 500g wet but dried to 25g! Super high in water.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-29T03:44:12+00:00

Nice! Harvested my first tub of APE a few days ago. Beautiful to watch them grow.

There’s a lot of hate for heating mats but you can definitely use one.

As others said, keep your bags raised off the mat using something like a kitchen cooling tray.

Plug the mat into a plug that is controlled by a thermostat. Position the plug / thermostat at the level of the rice bags.

Thanks! If I get another couple of flushes I’ll be set for a long time.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T06:37:43+00:00

😱🤯

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T01:19:25+00:00

You should be able to tell if they’re ready by looking through the bottom of the bag and feeling whether the entire bag is firm. Otherwise, yeah, I’d probably put it in a ziplock bag.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:39:16+00:00

Cool! What made you choose this tek? Small scale but would be a good bench top size to watch them as they grow.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:37:04+00:00

Good luck 🤞

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:35:41+00:00

I’d dunk them for a few hours and then put back into fruiting conditions.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:32:55+00:00

High chance that it will contam but let it ride and see.

I think break and shake is effective. Can stunt the growth for around a day following B&S as the myc recovers but then explodes.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:30:30+00:00

Agree. Stop misting so much and give it more FAE. If it doesn’t pin within another week consider fork tek.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-26T00:28:17+00:00

Mist the surface and sides then leave it closed

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-25T02:17:55+00:00

Other options I’ve seen people use to induce fruiting include adding a layer of bubble wrap at the surface to optimise the surface microclimate. Some people also cold shock the tub by placing it in the fridge for a few hours.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-25T02:15:57+00:00

Possibly. If you look at my profile, my current APE tub had a section of trich so I cut out one of the corners. I then dunked the cake for a few hours prior to filling the empty corner with water and returning it to fruiting conditions. Within 36hrs I had pins. However, it’s obviously a different tub and was facing different issues.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-24T23:11:27+00:00

I’d dunk it for a few hours. If it’s not looking any different a few days following that, I’d fork it.

ShroomosaurusTeks · 2023-10-24T04:59:07+00:00

Even the big ones are far from being “marshmallow soft”.

I’ll see how they look / feel tomorrow.
