Merci mushboy! I did have an ideal cap that I already took for a spore print. Unfortunately it hasn't dropped its spores yet, 36 hours currently! I used card stock sterilized in the oven at 425 for 15 mins, put in my greenhouse and covered the cap with a glass on the stock.
Idk why it didn't drop its spores actually. But I will be definitely taking one or two prints. Thanks for the advice!!

also since its a first grow id take a print!! its uber easy even for newbies. the first time i took a print all i did was.. tin foil.. cut the cap off. removing as much stem as you can(use gloves) put cap on foil gill side down(duh) put a glass or whatever over cap to cover it. after while put foil w/print in a zip lock.
please use all the sterile practices.. wiping with alc and using SAB. although my first print was on my book shelf but it was contam free! read up on cloning and pastys agar tek. uber easy
please dont flame for such a lame print tek but its not a tek just something that worked for me.
Hell. As lame as your tek was - it's still not too far away from ideal...
You've got the major points in there-and you wrote about sterility.

Should I use another foil to tape the print in an enclosed "envelope". And do I sterilize foil at certain temp?
Fudge it editing my post to not make it seem more popular than it is, got some photo updates 
So I'm not sure why the one shroom turned really brown, I harvested the other cap and saw lots of blueing as I cut the little sucker open. Currently the cap is looking alive and healthy though, hoping to see spores in the next couple days super excited.
And yes my mushroom knife is a butterfly :P totally sterilized in alcohol

just wipe foil with alc. put cap down and a cover. put somewhere clean. remove cap and quickly transfer foil to a ziplock once print is deposited. no cooking of foil or anything. like i said i did this on a book shelf in a bedroom.
also i lied :P first print was this way...[/image][/url] i was clean and this print made these

Mushroom piss? I assume, after my thread is done I'll probably have all the info I need lol.
You guys are all so much help, it is literally awesome, probably as well should ask about my desiccant drying. I got calcium chloride
Edited for photo removal. P.s. I didn't think I'd need more help but I just made a new post asking for it

Metabolites, not mushroom or myc piss.
Get a dehydrator. Dessicants are for noobs from the 90's.

Rookie mistake and realized it now. I was relying on long time exposure from pot lights to hopefully induce pinning. Furthering forward. I learned that my sun blaster light tube makes them pin like fudging mad!

Okay update: I'm scared shitless to actually try these out. First batch and all, so; what's the worst that could happen? What's recommended to do?
I've tripped before, 3grams does me in like a charm.
How do I know these are safe is probably my biggest question

They are safe. The yellowing is mushroom metabolites, like was said before. 3 grams dry should be just fine for you.
Dont be anxious, psilocybe can't hurt you. They look completely healthy. The only time you should really be worried about eating is if they are covered in some kind of mold. Even mushrooms with mold on the cake but not on the mushroom can sometimes be salvaged and eaten, and the cake tossed after harvesting.

Well the worst that could happen, is if they were somehow another species and they slipped by you, me, and everybody else, you could die a horrible death.
If the substrate were just a little bacterial (like all of them are outdoors) then you'd probably be as safe, or safer, than if you had picked them straight out of field manure. If you can't stop thinking about them possibly being not safe then I would just hold off on eating them. The "I think I'm dying omg I have to throw my shit away before I call the ambulance" trip is not a fun one. Biggest thing I'd be worried about is you don't know how strong your mushrooms are compared to any others you've had.

I agree on the trip. Frame of mind and setting is just as if not more important than the trip itself.
If you don't feel good, are in a bad mood, are anxious, or scared to death, the mushroom Gods will punish you for it.

My first time I hallucinated zombies and I was rolling in a blanket for an hour. Not a fun trip. So I want to be in the right mindset. I'm gonna prep myself for sometime this week if y'all say this stuff looks safe. My original plan was to let somebody else more experienced trip first, but fuck it, i try my science experiment. Mycology ftw, if I'm dead by Wednesday, shit wasn't safe

Wow were they good, I was outside on my back deck. Totally late at night and it's Canada so it's cold rn (kind of). But I totally forgot where I was, as I would say, I was literally lost in music!!!
But I'm thinking of buying this. https://www.amazon.ca/Presto-01781-23-Quart-Pressure-Canner/dp/B0000BYCFU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474317581&sr=8-2&keywords=all+american+pressure+canner
Is this one worth it? I'm trying to be cost effective.
Also any input would be nice, I'm thinking of grains. Tips or advice for it? I plan to follow some teks to the "t", but I'm just looking for guidance to the good teks. Any input is awesome.
