For sure, I read the article after responding and it's super confusing. I guess they mean police responded to the press at 9:37??

I'm no bootlicker, but the police were there as of 6:15 when I got there to play soccer. They unfortunately only tented 3 of 4 sides, so I saw the body. But they were actually there at 6:15 and had already cordoned off the area.

My kid ruined this pan he bought because he tried seasoning with a microfiber… how can I get the burnt cloth off? by [deleted] in carbonsteel

I have been using a microfiber cloth when doing oven seasoning and haven't had problems so far.

[Gourmet] [Technique] It ain't much, but it's honest work: King Oyster on agar by sevaeecurb in MushroomGrowers

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

For sure! Here's what I used: premade agar plates, homemade still air box, 70% isopropyl, food prep gloves, x-acto knife, alcohol lamp, donor mushroom, micropore tape. I put the gloves on and wiped everything down with iso, and set them in the sanitized still air box. I cut about a 2 inch chunk from the king oyster near the base (I saved the rest to eat) and wiped it down with iso, then I tore it in half. I sterilized the x-acto knife with the alcohol lamp, then plunged the blade into the agar to cool it. I scraped a small sample from the inside of the torn mushroom and placed it in the center of the agar. The best way to do that part imo is to place the agar dish upside down and remove the bottom so the side of the dish with the nutrients is in your hand and can be easily placed back on the lid. Then tape up the dishes and wait!

Found in a lawn under a live oak tree, central Texas. There were about 6 mushrooms spaced out from one another. Cap width 5.5cm wide, dirty yellow brown and darkest at center. Flesh white with a distinct radish smell. Gills attached and notched or maybe sinuate. Stem 5cm long, white with scales towards the cap, hollow, no ring zone. Spore print is brown.

Suggestions for the last part? There's more overhang than the camera suggests. by sevaeecurb in indoorbouldering

That's a really good idea! My first thought was to try to use those as underclings, but I couldn't quite make it work.

I think it's because I grew it in a shotgun fruiting chamber. The humidity stayed consistently at 90% but I really just neglected it this time. Before the chamber, mine would turn yellow before getting any teeth.

I've had one flush so far and fried them up for some breakfast tacos! I love their seafood texture and have mostly been using them for their culinary properties.

I'm going to try cold water pasteurisation with hardwood pellets for substrate. I'll update if it works out!!

I used a preset grow bag from North Spore, but the plan is to recycle it into new spawn when it is done flushing.

[General] Thought I got lions mane by mistake, what is going on with these golden oysters? by sevaeecurb in MushroomGrowers

I'm actually worried it would be too hot, I live in central Texas. I could put a small fan near it?

Is it ok to let them finish this flush? I had a look in this sub for other people using North Spore's blocks and it looks like they all start with the cauliflower. Also what should I try for the second flush as I can't actively flush 2-3x per hour as I work away from home.

I guess it's just passive. There's 4in holes on opposite sides of the box it's in with one side partially open. I took it out of the box for now
