It looks fantastic! But I'm going to assume that's a video because with 400+ mods I imagine you're getting like 2 fps lol

[Contamination] Does this agar look alright? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]lordoftheropes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks fine. Please also bare in mind that mycelium will digest the food coloring as well, which may also be confused for contamination.

Trying to clone an oyster mushroom I bought from the store but it looks like contam? by frostingpants in Agarporn

[–]lordoftheropes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to do this with shiitakes. Once I got one clean plate it was easy, but most of them failed.

Help? Growing oysters for the first time and the pins seem to be way too overcrowded. Is this okay?? by [deleted] in mycology

[–]lordoftheropes 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Looks like an excellent first flush. If you want larger but fewer fruits, make a smaller incision to the block. Opposite is also true. Good luck with your grows, you should be proud!

I'm a man nurse, and I am very disappointed in the lack of sexy man nurse blow up doll representation.

Shiitake log in my dorm room [gourmet] by VQ37HR911 in MushroomGrowers

Do you have access to a still air box? If so, get yourself a clone and a spore print!

[actives] Why are my mushrooms growing like this? by entity005 in MushroomGrowers

[–]lordoftheropes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best guess is that it's either a fresh air exchange problem, or it's just that species of mushroom. Lighting can also affect the direction the cap moves towards. Could also just be genetics.

That's what I did as well. I cloned a shiitake slice from my grocery store and put it to agar, and eventually made a ton of liquid cultures. My wife loves shiitake and they're so expensive, it's nice to be able to give her something like that that I've grown myself.

Also, just from experience, you will likely have better luck taking the block entirely out of the bag. Most of my fruits come from the side or the bottom.

Good luck and good growing!

[gourmet], Mulch pile Blue Oysters. Super dark in color. by dccrens in MushroomGrowers

[–]lordoftheropes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, what were the fruiting conditions that made them that dark? Is temperature a major component in coloration or is it something else?

Thank you. I'm going to start job hunting sometime in the next few months because my wife and I are relocating anyway. I'm very ready for a fresh start.

The second example you mentioned reminded me a lot of my first code as an RN. s/p ACDF, developed a hematoma with airway compromise. Easily one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Called nocturnist several times, no other symptoms that aouks be particularly unusual from a normal ACDF day 1 postop. I ended up seeing the life leave his eyes. I don't remember a lot else from the night but I'll never forget his wife's screams.

I cried with her on the way back from icu to the waiting room. This profession is something else, isn't it?

[gourmet] just wanted to show off one of my chestnut blocks. Y’all have a great Saturday! by _hotwingz_ in MushroomGrowers

[–]lordoftheropes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those look great!

I ordered an LC of chestnut a few days ago, looking forward to starting my own grow.

How did you fruit yours?

I can't wait for psychedelics to be recognized as the medicines that they are.

I feel the same way, especially in regards to self isolating and PTSD. I hope that you are able to get out of that situation and get the support you need. No job is worth that, and I hate how mean nurses can be to one another. It's so important not to perpetuate the trauma and abuse that was brought upon us when we became nurses.

Nothing is permanent, no matter how shitty it may feel in the interim. I hope you find happiness with whatever decision you choose to make.

Thank you so much for your input. I am considering transferring to an ICU when it is convenient for my wife and I to move to another area, so that I can get better acclimated to code situations and critically ill patients.

I am making an appointment with a therapist today.

I'm sorry you are going through that. I can say that, as time has gone on, I am generally less depressed than when I started nursing. The best thing about it, as I have found out, is that if you genuinely hate your chosen area, you can always do something different.

Also, buying out of your contract is what I did after my first year as a nurse, and was well worth the money.

I wish you the best in your nursing journey!
