Community Status Updates

Greetings family! Just wanted to pop in and say I love you guys! May your hopes, dreams and aspirations in this life manifest!

What constructive habits have you cultivated that helped you sort your life out?

If anyone out there can please read my latest post and give me some insight, I'd appreciate it. I'm so sad and need support..

Myco family, please be safe. I personally know 6 people who tested positive for covid and a few others who were exposed to these positive individuals.. Luckily my lover and I tested neg following exposure through close friends.. Please continue to take the precautions..

This forum is so much more than a resource for learning to grow. I've found that I've grown much more as a person than as a grower since I've become part of this community. I enjoy all the comedy, beautiful pics, debates, the PH.D level analyses of psychology, spirituality, politics, etc.. This place is really something special! Much love to all of you who contribute(d) your time and energy to make this space what it is.. Love you all.. :)

Know how you sometimes dream of people in your life? Isn't it strange to know that you're sometimes a mysterious character in the dreams of others?

I prepped some wbs yesterday. 12 hr soak, 20 min simmer. I was able to PC 7 out of 9 jars.. The remaining two jars have been waiting. Won't be able to PC them till after work. By the time I get off, they will have been sitting for about 26 hours. Can I still PC the two jars or is it to risky to use them?

My lover was immediately stressed when I asked if I could pasteurize hpoo in our home lmao. She ultimately said yes because she wants me to get the best possible yield.. She's so supportive but I'll spare her having to deal with the smell.. In other news, 8 agar plates growing mycelium!

First attempt at agar was stressful, lol.. Spilled my first pour but successfully poured the rest okay. Was a bit clumsy using the GB.. Inoculated after giving agar time to solidify. Accidentally gouged a couple agar plates when trying to put the spores on the surface, lol. Hope at least 5 of the 8 work out.. :)

My friends, I want to start agar today. I got all the tools necessary, but I only have Malt Extract Agar.. Do I need to supplement the MEA with anything else to start agar work?

Anyone have any idea what that demon spider is in my latest post? I'm freaked out lol

I have a few half pint jars that have two 5/16 holes drilled in their tops.. Can they be used? Or are these holes too big? Just thinking of brf cakes or grains with them..

About to set up a greenhouse that uses metal parts and a plastic cover.. Necessary to wash all parts before assembling?

Ordered a few bags to fill with wbs. Forgot to order impulse sealer. Can get some cheap on offerup.. Anything I should keep in mind when trying to buy one? Like are there diff types for purposes that won't work for autoclavable bags?

Has anyone had success transferring agar into liquid culture? I'm just curious..
