There's a ton of "skins" you can change your shroomery to in your account settings, but I don't know if neon green is one of them. I use a dark green/black theme because it's really easy on the eyes, which lets me powerpost for hours, beyond the scope of normal ability for anyone using the default setting. But there are some skins that are painful to look at, like you're wanting.

sweet thanks man haha I do want it almost painful to look at. I do like having nice dark skins too. I used to use a skin on rockbox that was dark green and black also made it easy for reading/searching for albums easier for hours haha.

I really do not want to give up on growing mushrooms. I think most of my frustration at this site is an outgrowth of the difficulties I am having with the grow. I have been using this forum as a lurker for a while, due to my fascination with psychotropic substances. Growing plants is so straightforward, shrooms take all I know with plants and turn it on it's head. I actually work in a garden center.
I do not mean to say that the users on this site are dicks. I think there is a huge disparity and diversity in users of this forum. From certified mycologists to teens coming here just looking for a way to get some shrooms and high. I think my problem is with the ladder, and several poor examples I have come across have influenced my view of the entire site. I simply find it disparaging when someone with a genuine question asks and is ridiculed instead of just given an answer. We are all noobs at one point. Like I said I am just frustrated at the difficulty and all the new information I have to take in to be able to harvest these little wonders of nature.

Some of our members act out like dicks some of the time, and in some of the forums, but often they are good contributors in the ontopic forums.
Life can be hard, we are a community so there are some places like The Pub where people let it all hang down.
Whats gotten you in a twist with your grow? Keeping it sterile?

I don't think dick was the right word. Irritable maybe. Regardless what has me so down is a combination of factors. One is the money. I have no problem spending 500+ to grow some high quality mycellium. The others I live with do not. So I have to do a lot of home brew. The thing that has me the most perplexed is creating spawn. My original plan was to take straw and mix it with vermiculite and dehydrated manure. Put in a cardboard box, kept damp in a garbage bag. I know this works for oysters. I have been told on here this will do nothing more than grow mold.
Knowing what substrate to use for which mushroom, how to set it up to. I don't get it in the wild they just grown on shit and on logs. I really do not understand why I cannot take some manure and spray it with the spores? Also I do not understand what all this talk is about tek. I see some member grow mushrooms in storage boxes. I would like to do something like this. Is there some ready made incubator type thing I can just inject the spores into. Like the little boxes you can get at garden shops that you inject spores through the hole.

If you have some patience, you can find ways here to spend 50-$100 to do it.
(unless you're wanting to start a farm )
I will say that it took me a while to figure out how to use and navigate this site, as it's a much different format than many other forums I frequent.

Yeah exactly it is just different I guess. I am already getting used to it. Like I said I was just frustrated with my grow and I allowed some cross anger to get the best of me. I pretty much gave up and wanted to give a fuck you to those who succeed where I have failed due to envy and anger at my own failure. I guess I am just being lazy. I want the shrooms, but do not want to do the leg work. Can you direct me to the names of the methods that are 50-100 dollars?

You can buy a syringe or two and get sterile PF cakes sent to your door.
(although you can buy sterile grain bags or jars, I wouldn't suggest using them with a syringe)
To me that's a one of the simplest approaches.
Patience is key. It is much different than growing plants!

A very viable route is the method that uses vermiculite/brown rice flour/water substrates, known originally as the PF-TEK
Whats even better is to take a pressure cooker and PC spawn bags filled with grain (for instance WBS - Wild Bird seed), which you then inoculate, spread the mycelium around and then either fruit this grain spawn or proceed to a Hpoo (horse poo) substrate.
TEK means nothing more than Technique.

My man. Really? Like I said I am a complete novice when it comes to growing mushrooms. I can crow a rose on concrete, and can't grow a fungus in a basement. So you recommend I get sterile pf cakes? What I just put them in a mason jar and inoculate to get my spawn? Can I then just mix the spawn in with some substrate in a rubbermade storage bin. Please say yes ))))) god I want some dang shrooms already )))))))))):P

This is only part 1 of 4 I believe, all of which can be found on youtube but these videos were really helpful to me when I started trying to learn about growing, still haven't had the opportunity to grow myself yet but thanks to those videos and this site I basically have the noob method memorized and ready for whenever I can.

I'd start simple and just use syringes to inoculate and fruit PF cakes.
That's it. Once you've had some success, then try other methods.

Hey unchosenone, this tip might really help you not have to click around so much on the site if you haven't found it yet. There is no specific alert that someone has replied to your post, but you have an 'active threads' tab of sorts that you can click and it brings you to a list of all of the most recent threads you've posted in. Darker ones means nobody has posted since you last read it, lit up means somebody has.
Go to the very top of the page where it says Welcome 'your name.' Right below that, click Threads.
I didn't find that tab for months after joining and had to click around to find all the threads I liked and had posted in.
