Why do you do it?
    #19259105 - 12/11/13 08:26 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hey guys,

I think this forum is great and have enjoyed the mushroom growing process so much already.

I love trying new things and developing new skills and abilities so I'm excited about the whole growing mushroom thing.

I was wondering today.....what got everyone else into it? Why did they start? What have you gotten out of it as you've been doing it?

I only started two weeks ago and personally started for these reasons:

1. I want to consume Shrooms of the magical variety.

2. I want to learn a new skill and understand how Mushrooms grow and develop and how to do it all.

3. I get to meet some new people and understand a different way of thinking about things, one noticeable thing would be the 'patience' aspect of growing, which i find hard as I check the shrooms at least 3x a day, thankfully they are growing fast enough that it's fun to do so every time.

Looking forward to your replies.


--------------------
I like you.

Well I'm also just getting into this, I gave growing a try a few months ago but I REALLY half assed it and I plan on giving it a lot of more effort.

Main Reasons for me:

1. It's super dry around here I have personally never gotten to experience them and I have wanted to for a really long time. I have tried other natural hallucinogens such as salvia, HBWR, syrian rue, ect. But shrooms just seem so amazing I can't wait.

2. I have a background of ethnobotany and if you could see my room you would understand! Growing plants is a huge hobby of mine and the whole mushroom growing has always fascinated me.

3. There is a simple enjoyment of doing something other people don't want you to do, especially when you are helping to grow species which are in danger of law. Think about how rare and endangered some of the  species would be if there weren't a group of people like us preserving them?

anyway that's why I'm getting into it good thread idea!

Hahaha I did forget to mention the money does help! But most of mine will be given away to my friends! In our area a small amount of the harvest should pay for enough to get another round going!

I do it because:

1. I treat my depression with it with great success

2. I'm going to school for mycology and it's great practice and research for my chosen field.

3. I like being cool...

I originally started so i wouldnt have to pay for shrooms and to makesome spare cash, but then when i got growing i found that i enjoy growing them more than eating em.. although eating em is pretty rewarding too..and when friends ask to buy em i just give em free mushies..

I started cause I wanted to trip. I'd eaten them once before and then couldn't find them for a few years. At a certain point I decided that they had to come from somewhere and that I was smart enough to figure it out. So I did.

Nowadays I don't trip much, I just like to grow. A few tubs of Cubes and some exotics and edibles keep me busy.

:whathesaid:

pretty much my story to the T.

Tried them a long time ago. Town dried up for years I hadn't seen anyone with some. Looked into how to grow them and got started a week later.

It became so interesting to me that I stuck with it. I grow more than I ever need, I occasionally will trade some for some weed, but have never sold any. I often will let people just have them if they're interested in them rather than give a shit about the 30$ I would make off of someones trip.

Now I'm just trying to get good isolate cultures to save so I can grow them out whenever I feel like I want to trip or help someone get started out.

I'm looking to try my hand with some exotics. I actually just put something about pan cyans in my signature a few minutes ago.

I've always had a fascination and I recently found out IT"S COMPLETELY LEGAL TO GROW IN MY STATE MWAHAHAHA.

So most importantly I want to grow my own, so  I can eat them myself, hopefully so one day I won't vomit on them like some sugar rushed 4 year old little girl the day after Halloween.

I suffer from depression and some compelling research has convinced me that cubes are worth a shot.
