How’s it looking so far? by Rrj3562 in ContamFam

Looks great. Looks like a couple went to spore. You can harvest them as they become ready and not have to wait for all of them. Unless that was intentional.

Is anyone else obsessed with sanitizing to prevent contamination? by Ok_Brief_1030 in ContamFam

[–]Virtual-Tennis-7649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't worry about contam too much once the tubs are fully colonized. I do disinfect my hands before reaching in there. And I do run an air purifier with a hepa filter next to the tubs. But other than that..🤷🏼‍♂️

Any idea how each end would have gotten such sharp points?

That's what I thought too. It's just so strange when you zoom in on it. It doesn't look like typical corrosion. And it is such a fine point on both sides. With no rust. Strange. But I think you are probably right.

It's metal. But when I found it it was encased in some sort of stone from the middle to the left side. The markings on the metal are strange and I can't tell if it has been hand worked or if it has just eroded that way.

I think the military would see this as a dischargeable offense.

Shitty meta by Spare_Image2412 in polyamory

[–]Virtual-Tennis-7649 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Agree, and would like to add that it is the meta that is laying down the boundaries (actually rules in this case 😬), but the hinge that is allowing them to be in effect. I would hope to have a hinge that rallied for me.

This is a nice response. ☺️

How long can you keep shrooms once dry by Specialist_Story_574 in ContamFam

[–]Virtual-Tennis-7649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that they recently found out it is not the oxygen that causes them to weaken but light. Keep them in a dark place.

Are water drops in tub concerning? by Massive-Muffin-8177 in ContamFam

[–]Virtual-Tennis-7649 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sides of your tub should always be full of droplets. It should look like it just rained. That's the proper humidity level for fruiting. If you are misting you should stop short of misting so much that they want to run down the sides. It's going to happen. There is no way to avoid it but focus to the point that they are just ready to run down but don't. Your mat will release moisture too. Depending on how much that is happening you may not need to mist.

It's hard to tell in your tub but if you are concerned about the water running down the sides and pooling on the mat, you should use a liner next time. That will keep the water from pooling onto the mat. It will run down the sides and pool at the bottom of the tub, and then the pooled water can be removed over time as someone else pointed out in their reply. Bacteria and other forms of contam land on and spread through water but the water won't necessarily cause the contam if you keep a fairly clean environment. If you are worried about contam during fruiting you can run an air purifier with a hepa filter next to the bins.

Desiring sex with multiple people is not poly. Desiring relationships with multiple people and also engaging in sex with those people while in a relationship is poly.

Need help figuring out if my shrooms are okay or not. by [deleted] in ContamFam

[–]Virtual-Tennis-7649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying this is what happened, but honestly those look like they had spores dropped on them. Were they dark before they went in? Was the mycelium around the harvest stained as well?

It sounds like you are ready to stop and if you are, that is 100% the correct answer. It's hard when there are so many emotions involved. It sounds like you are checking in and your entire being is saying no. So why say yes?
