Mr. E said: Some of these guys might give you a hard time about your extraction, I noticed where a tek for doing it was actually removed from the reference part of the site because the whole idea was so looked down on. But I think its really interesting and am looking forward to seeing what you can figure out. You've obviously got some chemistry/lab type experience, which I'd imagine should be a huge advantage to you with this hobby. Best of luck to you!
Edit: BTW Breaking Bad is a great show, really been looking forward to the new season. 
No matter how much crap a small group of people give you, don't give up on an idea based on opinions. If the idea doesn't work out, just let it rest in peace, if it does work out though, enjoy serving the feast of crow Allow others to influence your decisions when they support your goals, leave them behind when they try to tear you down.
Now that the philosophy paragraph is out of the way, I'm looking forward to seeing the process and results of this experiment Take pictures of the whole process for me please 
Very well put 
And I will take as many photos as I can. I may need to bring in someone to be my camera man...

Anybody feel like enlightening me on how i go about favoriting this thread?
Edit: Interesting.. looks like its already been done. But I have no idea how I did it.

If you've posted in a thread, it should appear in your thread list (below your mood setting)

Right but there is also a list of "Favorite" threads in my account tab. when I post in this thread I get the option to add it to favorites at the bottom of the edit box (where it says add a poll, add sig etc.) but when I post in other threads I don't see that option there. Odd.
Sorry to jack your thread over such triviality, just trying to figure out the controls on this dam thing. *gear grinding sounds*

I support your efforts, regardless of extraction. You grew them so do whatever you desire.
I still think that the best form of extraction, for me, is the digestive tek.

I should also mention I will be testing the presence of alkaloids in the cakes themselves after 3-4 flushes to see if extraction is worth while. I'd like to have no waste, if possible.

This is what happens when you can't get back to your shroomies in time:

I just birthed my other 4 cakes. And, once again, I mis-judged how developed they were. 2 of the 4 had to be busted out of their jars, and ironically, one of the other two, who was coming out nicely, ripped in two in my hands. So... what else could I do but put it back together and stick them in my dunking jars. Someone help me on this... do they ever fuse back together or do I effectively have two smaller cakes now?

They do look pretty awesome. But, they're too mature. Lots of spores. Still very edible, but not ideal. And I've decided, at least at this point in time, not to make spore syringes. It's just easier to buy, and not very expensive.

All my pics from my phone are sideways... not sure why. I suppose I could rotate them

When you upload them here there's a little checkbox thingy that can straighten them out for you if your camera supports it, or sometimes it just messes them up and needs to be UN checked for them to load straight. I like it, usually works with my camera, and much easier than going through whatever graphics program to do it by hand.
Even if they're a little over-ripe, congrats on your successful crop!

Yeah... that feature does nothing for me...
And thanks. That's the last of 5 for the first flush. I have 4 new guys out there, and the 2nd flush on some are pinning already. Shromalicious

Phase 1 extraction experimentation:
I took one mushroom I had and decided to test extracting. Afterwards, I was able to prove that after two soaks I was able to get virtually all the alkaloids removed from the mushroom. (I will write up a tek once I have completed my testing)
This is my set up: 
And afterwards, these are my test results. It's difficult to see, but the first 3 test tubes have precipitate, and the last one does not (first two are duplicates).

Now it's a matter of seeing how well evaporation works, and examine the final product.

I had left my sample to evaporate at room temp last night, and this morning it's still quite a bit more than I had hoped it would be. It seems that water is proving to be a bigger problem than I had hoped.
I could probably reduce the volume used to submerge the mushroom, but not by very much. Concentrating may need a low heat to help evaporation along, which was something I was really hoping to avoid since we don't know the temp at which psilocin denatures (though we know it's unstable).

Inoculated 10 more jars today. 1 pint, with Z spores. I actually had a bit left from my B+, so I ended up doing a mixed jar. We'll see what happens.
I used a glove box this time, which proved a bit cumbersome. I expected that though. I just hope I was able to keep contamination out as well as I did last time...

Usually with mixed spore jars they take longer to colonize and don't fruit quite as well due to the struggle of genetics fighting for their spot on your substrate.
Keep us posted though.
