Of Mike and Milk by Grand Shroomba

I'd say one of the best things about the fungi is its tolerance to neglect/experimentation. I say neglect/experimentation because I think some people treat their myc in certain ways that could be considered neglectful. Let's take the milk dunk for example...

Of Mike and Mlik
by Grand Shroomba


    Let's say you're walking down a dirt road. A not too muddy, not too dry, kind of "field capacity and spongy" if you will, dirt road. Some cows decide to cross your path. You also notice a small depression in the road. In it appears to be the almost entirely evaporated remains of one kick ass puddle. Sometime earlier a truck must have come by, hit the pothole, and dropped a few mike cakes off of the back...unbeknownst to the driver, of course! (I would've hopped out and put those babies right back on the truck, what the hell?)

    Anyways. A few cakes landed in the aforementioned, kinda-fairly moist, depression in the cow crossing section of a dirt road. Astoundlingly, you see a cow stop with one of it's glistening udders aimed right at these poor, innocent, little mike cakes. Thinking to yourself, "this can't be happening," you watch it piss moo milk, honest to God, white, liquid baby cow food, straight onto the mike cakes. As if that weren't unbelievable enough, pooooor little mike cakes sniff sniff, you then proceed  pitch a tent beside the depression in the...yada yada..dirt road, and just let the mike cakes suffer while you sleep, oblivious to their silent cries for sweet mercy or death.

    As if all that happened to these poor mike cakes wasn't enough, they suffered one final, heinous, and so painful to think about, travesty. While you were sleeping, a dinner plate sized and shaped piece of rock dislodged from a nearby cliff and landed on the mike cakes. Like right on them! Not leaning up against or sitting near...Smack on top off them, holding them under the milk! What are the odds? Slim, real slim, Jim. All night long they didn't even have a chance to breathe, drowning in a sea of utterly delicious cow udder excrement.

    Ummmm, what the hell have I been talking about? Oh yeah. You pull the mike cakes out of the puddle and hold them up next to a mike cake that has been resting comfortably indoors sitting one inch deep in a saucer full of water in a high humidity environment. Basically, one mike cake is singing praises to your name, and the other is giving you the finger. It's also doing the mike equivalent of brainstorming on ways to drown you in yak diarrhea, but that's another story.

The End

And the moral of the story is that milk dunking can be considered a form of neglect.

Please note: I have milk dunked in the past and actually found it to be mostly beneficial if done in a clean environment and under cool conditions. Also, I started writing this after a couple tokes, and I forgot why I was writing what I was writing about. Twice. So I may be wrong and I may be right. Take the advice with a grain of salt. But always empathize with the mike :jah:

Dunking in milk results in contams for most people.

It's not about that the milk starts to rot while you dunk it, but when you put the whole thing back in teh FC.
I know, that has been done successfully, but the statistics clearly speak against it.

I think, I'm not sure, that that is what I was trying to originally say with my story there. Mostly, milk dunking is a bad idea. It can work, but most often it won't. And does it ever really happen in nature? Probably not :laugh: So just be nice to your mike and don't milk dunk. Also, it's not like I've done trials with hundreds of cakes and strains to find out on average, how well it will do. Also, I was on a serious bender when I wrote that. I do think something different from the usual posts is a welcome breath of fresh air. I was off on some thought tangent about the pro's and cons of milk dunking when I thought about how hilarious it would be if somehow that had actually happened. A cow stopping over some discarded mike cakes and for some reason spontaneously spewing milk onto them, haha.

    I really hope someone shows up with some pics of them holding mike cakes under a cow and milking it right onto them and then letting it fruit out successfully.:eek:

Your forgetting milk from a cows udder isn't pasteurized so that would probably put the myc in a deadly death ooze of bacteria.
