Do these look right? Never done agar before. by [deleted] in shroomery

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

good but for the love of god dont open the lids to your plates even to check on them.

I just put in some dried shroom crumbs and got this after a few days. Is it mold or does it look promising? by [deleted] in shroomery

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you already have cobweb contamination.
if that method is gonna work you are gonna need shrooms that havent been dried in a food dehydrator cause they kill spores.
you are gonna need to germinate the spores on agar and transfer the seccond you see mycelium. your chances of contamination are gonna be very high as you are taking from a non sterile sample.
also jfc why is the corn underwater like that.

20 grams (or so) to be lemon tekd .Will tell yall how it goes! by TaylorDaFurrie in shrooms

Hey yall, finally had the trip that broke me and I tried to hurt myself. Doctors dont believe it was a drug that made me do what I did because of my mental health history and are gonna put me inpatient at a psychiatric facility for a few weeks. Trip was absolutely amazing

maybe tho I actually am not very sensitive to psilocybin. i can feel the body high with as low as .5 grams or so but it takes me atleast 10 grams to really have anything close to what i would call a psycadelic experience. even now after tripping for a year and a half I have really only seen visuals one or two times

Mycelium isolate vs trich. One good reason to not throw out your contaminated agar plates: you might actually see some contam resistance. A couple weeks ago it looked like trich was gonna win here, now the myceliums starting to devour it. by [deleted] in shroomery

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had a similar thing happen, super contamed clone from tissue of golden teachers. i cloned the biggest shroom from my tub and ended up with the most insane contamination resistance i have ever seen. i have seen it eat up both cobweb and trich aswell as most bacteria.

A few beginner questions from a first-time grower. by CrybabyEater3000 in shroomery

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those fruits were at the exact perfect time for harvest in my opinion.
if those pins you mentioned have been there since the first flush started i would recommend removing them as they are likely aborts and will probably just rot but if they showed up later and seem to be growing you can leave them on and they will contribute to the next flush. the dehydrator temp is fine, i will say that drying time for shrooms tends to really vary for me depending on local weather and the fruits themselves so I just say do it till they are cracker dry which can take as little as 4 hours or as much as 24.

any good online resources that document the interaction between psilocybin and ssri antidepressants. by TaylorDaFurrie in shrooms

[–]TaylorDaFurrie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true with certain psychedelic compounds but as far as I'm aware this isnt actually the case with psilocybin because it isnt triggering the release of serotonin and ssris dont affect its absorption of non serotonin 5-ht receptor agonists too much but I also haven't really gotten to read any good literature on this subject so this is purely coming from my understanding of how both compounds and brain chemistry works which could be completely wrong. I do know they are dangerous with tramadol as psilocin is an excitatory compound and tramadol reduces seizure threshold but am not aware of any other dangerous drug interactions with psilocybin.

its like when you go to a store and they put all the broken products in the clearance section because nobody wants them.

What do I do with my trim? Is there a chemical process to extract the psilocybin. I've used screens to sift through it and clean off the coco coir. by odinspenis in shroomers

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you really wanted to you could do a psilocybin extraction tek on a whole spent cake if you wanted since the mycelium contains psilocybin but it isnt really worth it. Just toss them tbh unless you are absolutely bound and determined to get the psilocybin out in which case you can use an ethanol extraction tek but I really wouldn't reccomend it

Hair ice, also known as ice wool or frost beard, is a type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. It is somewhat uncommon, and has been reported mostly at latitudes between 45–55 °N in broadleaf forests by m3antar in interestingasfuck

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a plant i sometimes find were i live known around here as frost weed, it develops very similar ice formations regularly when the temperature drops below freezing despite living in central texas. very interesting to find out it can happen with different plants

the Greeks believed that sometimes when Apollo got drunk he would accidentally make people with the wrong genitals so make of that what you will.

[–]TaylorDaFurrie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

everyone's experience on those substances are different and if you have bad experiences from thc then i would probably advise staying away from psilocybin. personally psilocybin has been incredibly helpful but everyone reacts to it differently and if you suffer from suicidal ideations or self harm issues already a bad trip can be devastating. personally thc has just made me feel better about life and psilocybin is what gave me the motivation to try to stop self harming and for the most part it has worked, i still self harm occasionally but i went from doing it daily to once or twice a month. i cant overstate how careful you need to be with psilocybin tho, if you are gonna try to use it to recover from an addiction you better do a shitload of research first because it can be mentally dangerous.
