Do most regular posters here have a biology degree? I have one and I'm consistently blown away by how knowledgable the community is about bio - I figure most of us have a BS or higher? Post your educational standing here. Hope this isn't against the rules.

Homeschooled for my entire education. So on paper in my country I never went to school.
Yep I'm one of those weird ones.

12 yrs in college, 3 degrees, 2 in sciences, but, i only admit to the art degree, as the other 2 would peg me . ( one , only comes from one place, the other, peeps wouldnt believe anyway)
EXTENSIVE bio lab and physics research lab experience.
sometimes im amazed at the knowledge here. but, mostly im appalled and aghast.

Nah I don't reckon many people on here would have a biology degree. I've got a psych degree and two masters in related disciplines. I think I'm on this forum due to loving gardening combined with loving the effects of fungi. Just a very rewarding pastime as well. You need no biology knowledge to do this hobby as long as you can follow a tek as all the groundwork has already been done for you

I know of a couple members here for sure that have bio degrees or better, but I doubt that they really want people to know that about them. Ruins the mystique an all 
Thankfully they are lurking in the shadows behind their pseudonyms indirectly educating idiots such as myself. Fortunately for me I at least learned to read and thus have learned more about science on these boards than i ever did in high school.

nota is one of those people that just take in everything. this man knows more then some trusted cultivators. it just goes to show you. you dont need a degree you need willingness to learn. most of the information on here is simple anyway. i haven't gotten stumped on anything yet.

Well my mycological knowledge isn't massive, but my microbiological knowledge is quite strong as I work in waste processing and am finishing my masters degree in biology. So hello everyone!!
Oh one thing I can say my work and knowledge has helped with is sterile technique. I work with cell cultures so I have to be sterile all the time.

at this point i would offer, love of the grow arts, would exceed about everything. because ya really cant learn what we do , from any mainstream school.
we are the school. i know of no other, for this type of thing really.
therefore PHD, or GED, everyone is the same sweaty bastard, every time we put the needle to the spore print.
some have degrees, some dont. we all know , the only degree that counts, is shroomerology.
therefore, the highest form, for noobs and pros alike, is to make our forums, the most advanced shroom university / libraries, ever known to mankind.
and , then we print our own fucking diplomas, on tyvek!
in the new age, we can do that kinda stuff.

went to school for ceramics.... I am in school currently for Bio tho, plan on transferring to Penn State for their plant pathology minor in Bio though due to interest in the hobby and the many stamets lectures I've seen. It's inspiring what fungi of all types can do!

I have an associate's degree in an unrelated tech field.
All my mushroom experience has been self-taught thanks to the shroomery, really.
Now I teach people how to grow mushrooms too
