hey there shroomerites, this place used to be my daily pleasure but this is my first post in ages.
i got into mushrooms as a hobby initially for the tripping and then for the challenge and then it became an obsession. within a year i'd grown a bunch of pleasure crops and moved on to trying my hand at other stuff like edibles and bags and casing and agar and extractions and tek-writing and planting my substrate outdoors in woodchips. i had a hepa blower made by Anno, and i'd happily sit there in front of it with my facemask and my bunsen burner and my bag sealer and my little plastic greenhouse with piped in steam and ventilation. man those were the days.
anyway i've not grown anything in ages, have given up weed, and these days my only substances i get to enjoy are the occasional powders or maybe something ethnically psychedelic and locally enjoyed on an exotic holiday. i have a 3 year old son and a six year old dog and a big marine fishtank, and my hobby these days since 5-6 years is pinball. i collect machines, i try to fix them, i buy and sell and compete, and modify and go to shows and all that stuff. this weekend i'm hiring a van and driving a bunch of my machines to a big show in Manchester where there will be over 130 pinball machines on free play, plus loads of other stuff like hundreds of old arcade machines, old consoles, old computers, virtual reality, people playing dressup, all that stuff.
anyway i still check in here every now and then. hope you're all well. i still enjoy a trip.
i still have an enormous bunch of old kit that i'd be happy to let go for preferably some kind of trade, like art or sculpture, books, booze, anything original. the hepa blower (is that even the name?) is the biggest and most valuable item, i'd be happy to let it go to whoever wants to come collect it from me in West London and has something decent to trade for it.

Yeah. When people go missing like that I fear for their freedom. Glad that weren't the case.

nobody wants my old hepa filter made by Anno?
anyway, i think my proudest achievement here at the Shroomery was writing teks that got accepted and put up in the library. i think there were a few more back in the day, but i'm pleased as punch that these 3 are still around:
