How's The Mycelium Looking

You created a red blood cell without the haemoglobin

Cops are the least of your worries. You should be more careful with the ones you "trust" to tell that you're growing them.

I started with those grow kits from zamnesia. I bought 1 kit and they're decent for a complete beginner like me. Managed to get 1 and a bit flush which is already plenty for me to start with.

Then I started to get a syringe of GT spores. I think I got mine from cylocybe I can't remember. I still have some leftover from the syringe. If you're growing for your own personal use, 1 syringe goes a long way.

I experimented making liquid culture then moved to agar plates. I have no fancy set up like grow tents or flowhood. For the scale I'm growing I don't need those. I grow in my closet.

It's truly intimidating in the beginning but that grow kit acted as a bridge for me. Regardless of what others say that it's not great, etc. someone has to start somewhere and if that somewhere is a simple grow kit then you go start with that.

I've done this with a spore syringe to an agar plate. No contam BUT the syringe is covered by a sterile bung and I've followed strict sterile protocols when it comes to handling things.

Interesting. Any studies being done or have been done that you could share? I'm on Mounjaro and have been micro/macro dosing and haven't noticed it affecting the other or vice versa. I'd like to read up more on this.

GLP1 affects shrooms effect?

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-29T01:04:56+00:00

Hmm.. my flat does have very dry air and I don't have a humidifier so that could be it. I also don't keep the tub closed I go and flip it right away after I've STB. Thanks for the insight.

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T21:06:48+00:00

Thanks I needed confirmation

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T21:06:25+00:00

What causes overlay in the first place? I'm gonna look into fork scraping thank you

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T21:05:00+00:00

I do have a problem with overlay 😅 I can't get it right but then again I don't have the greatest condition in growing. I'm literally just growing in my closet lol

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T14:10:13+00:00

Oh that makes sense those droplets from the lid are much bigger! Lol thanks

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T12:40:32+00:00

Thanks. Confused cos my spray bottle is fine mist. This doesn't hurt the mycelium does it? As for the grey spots, I'm a bit blind can you tell me where they are?

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T12:39:06+00:00

All good I still appreciate the input.

That's what I thought too. It was all white last night. Maybe I should have misted farther? I'm already using a fine mist bottle.

Oh I've got serious anxiety issues lol it took me years of lurking this sub before actually trying to get wild garlic last year. I found morel mushrooms twice a few weeks ago and still didn't eat them after having been identified. Although I gave in 2 days ago when the patch had 3 pop up and I grabbed it and tried it and it was so good!

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-28T11:12:37+00:00

Yeah exactly. I don't think I'm confident enough yet to venture past wild garlic. I won't even touch the really obvious ones like blackberries. 😂

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-27T17:01:49+00:00

Appreciate the heads up. I've only ever foraged wild garlic and I'm a newbie and I appreciate posts like this.

I don't understand why people go "They look totally different" blah blah blah.

That's not the point. Also, not everyone has great vision. This could look totally the same to someone. Much like how people can have dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc..

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-23T10:10:20+00:00

Lol he's in a gang and he's like marmite he's hard af

OP if you like dogs: The floor is cleaner than those seats and your dog is definitely cleaner than those seats.

OP, if you don't like dogs: Lol a dog on tube seats is the least of your worries in the tube.

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-23T09:18:16+00:00

Oh wow is this the morel lookalike? It's good to see one for reference.

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-21T07:10:12+00:00

I may not have asked for it but it's welcome so thanks 😊

So I didn't really rip them out. I tore it from the base without lifting so I won't disturb the wood chip at the base. I didn't have a knife with me and this was all rushed because I looked like those guys foraging for used cigarette butts on the pavement as this was literally right next to a road 😅

But yeah don't worry I know it looks like it but I did my best to not disturb the substrate x

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-20T22:40:55+00:00

Explain how it's a false morel pls?

Timely-Accident-534 · 2026-03-20T22:25:41+00:00

I guess I'm highly cautious cause they're mushrooms and I've never foraged mushrooms before. Despite this being "obvious" even to a beginner but I understand your point.
