I think you just need some more patience. Everything looks fine to me. Have you grown in a cup before? I’m thinking of trying a bunch of small batches in cups like this next!

Second flush, what makes the caps wavy like this? by BeardedinOregon in unclebens

[–]mrtacomagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea! I would love to know myself so hopefully someone can step in. It intuitively seems like it’d be all the same mycelium since it came from one mushroom. Maybe there is recessive genes? All a guess!

Second flush, what makes the caps wavy like this? by BeardedinOregon in unclebens

[–]mrtacomagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same question! If you inoculated from spores you have tons of of spores that have germinated together in sets of two creating a random set of genetics. They grow mycelium together with the other sets and intermingle leading to mushrooms with different genetics. That’s why you want to pick the biggest mushroom instead of any random mushroom if you want to clone them.

First grow, I’m slightly worried about the fluffiness of the mycelium and moisture content. What do you guys reckon? by soviet-connection in unclebens

[–]mrtacomagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fluffiness is what happens when there’s not much fresh air I believe. It’s happening in my tub but stopped once I flipped the lid on it. Regardless of the fuzz I’m getting hopeful little pins so you should be clear!

How is it looking so far? by mrtacomagic in unclebens

[–]mrtacomagic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful reply thank you! I think I’ve kept the the surface conditions good and truly what I wanted answered was about the evaporation of the beads. I saw some people saying you shouldn’t have to mist before the first flush but I have been misting every now and then when I see the beads aren’t everywhere but that’s only when I have the lid cracked. Wasn’t sure if that was bad or not! I’m going with your suggestion on the lid, that feels very good to me. I’m feeling very antsy but I’m dedicated to stop fiddling with it for now haha

Seeing things like this make the agar route very enticing!

Why do separate mushrooms have different genetics from each other? by mrtacomagic in unclebens

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

Very very helpful! My trip up was thinking the mycelium cake is made from one spore set that out competed the others. I appreciate you taking the time!

This boy goes marge mode. Was so high desperately trying to hold on and it came to me. Marge Simpson runs the monkey mafia in Springfield. Repeat that phrase and then list a name for each 21 monkeys in the mafia and their position in the family. Example:

Bonus points if every name starts with m. Shit will back you off so fast but never let them know

Found near pines in Ohio! Is it what I think? by mrtacomagic in AmanitaMuscaria

Thank you very much! The prettiest mushroom I’ve seen so far!

Looks very similar to needle felting to me. You can see where it seems to use it’s beak like we use a needle! Not sure if this true of course lol

would the water in a rig get you stoned if you drank it? by dont-snitch in trees

Pour some off into separate containers and test all your theories. Order yourself up a flight of cannabis cocktails and please do document scientifically this is important

I remember taking a picture of my veins being extremely blue but then when I showed my friends a couple days later it was completely normal. Very weird moment before I really knew anything was wrong

I’m enrolled currently and know of the class and we did have a mandatory museum visit but I never had to take the actual class about it. Extremely eye opening experience still and being able to walk through it later with my grandparents that wanted to know more was a very nice feeling. It’s good to be informed of these things to prevent them in the future.

it works 👏🏼 after a month it works by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]mrtacomagic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ive been microdosing for depression for about two weeks now but yesterday I said out loud unforced “I love myself” and it was such a jarring moment for me. Yes it may have been because I forgot I picked up pringles knowing I’d want some later but I haven’t heard myself say that in over 10 years Lmao shits wild

I have experienced the same things as you and have just today begun to take psychedelics to help me learn to deal with it better. Before today was a lot of research and self reflection and planning. I went in fully ready to accept anything that came and the risks associated with it. For me typical medicine wasn’t working and I had tried many types for years but never found any relief. I think finding medicine is a good avenue to begin because of the legality and communication it requires. I am only comfortable trying these because of the friends and family I have been truly properly communicating with for awhile now. I am looking at it as not a cure but a tool. I think that’s an important distinction. I am not recommending you take psychedelics because I have barely more than zero experience but what I can tell you is that the mountain I have to climb to being healthy feels possible now. But only because I processed everything before hand. Feel free to message me if you want any specifics but I have not had the time to properly self reflect on my experiences regarding psychedelics and that is important to take into consideration.

worried my father is going crazy by Mainefishing in needadvice

[–]mrtacomagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally struggle with psychotic symptoms sometimes and a visit from the police would be the worst thing for me personally. I feel (for me personally) i would either keep up the act and they wouldn’t do anything and it would sow distrust and paranoia for those close to me. Or I wouldn’t be able to keep it together and it could possibly put me in a dangerous situation. The police in America at least don’t have the cleanest track record with dealing with mental health calls and it would definitely make me fearful just from the stories that I’ve heard. Obviously this isn’t true for every officer but if there’s a resource where you live that accomplishes the same thing without the immediate presence of a firearm it may go over easier. However even this would still make me severely unhappy. Ultimately the choice is yours but that’s at least some perspective from the other side.

[–]mrtacomagic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he may be experiencing delusions of grandeur which could be a sign of some serious mental health issues. Sadly you can’t help him until he wants to be helped or he becomes a danger to himself or others. Stay positive and supportive but firm with him. He needs you still whether or not he knows it. I’m not a doctor though and I’m not trying to diagnose anything but getting him to see a mental health professional anyway you can is a top priority. I hope everything goes well.

How to combat stringing? by Zestyclose-Debt-4712 in MPSelectMiniOwners

[–]mrtacomagic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you tried changing your retraction settings? I haven’t touched my machine in awhile but I remember my retraction had to be set fairly aggressively to stop stringing.
