My first fruit opened
    #23791015 - 11/01/16 11:14 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

My first fruit opened after 25 days in the chamber, (it's kinda cool in the house). GT are stubbier and a different cap shape/color than I would have thought, and it looks like this will be a common theme for the rest of the batch.

Constructive criticism? Suggestions? Room for improvement? :thumbup::thumbdown:
Thanks!

Walls shouldn't be wet. plastic doesn't grow. And it looks like you over misted by a long shot.
But there's mushrooms

I will say congrats, you at least have some shrooms, better than not having any.

Yeah, it's such a small container that a lot of mist inevitably gets on the walls, but as I learned from earlier posts, I've got a heavy trigger finger and need to lay off.
Anyway, thanks. More grew and opened while I was away today and so I have a handful more now. Time to read up on preparing for multiple flushes and what-not.

Drying these in the food dehydrator now.

I cut the tops off 3 and placed them under a lrg cup on white paper to make some prints. No plans to save the spores for future work - just making some memories :smile:
Thanks again guys for coaching me thru this.

Should of ate all of them on the spot.  Dry fruits should be brewed in tea IMO.

I've picked a bunch more and cut off all my blobs for drying now too.
Maybe I'll try a tea recipe, but I'd like to score a scale to help me decide what to take first.
A month or so ago I went and saw 2001 in 70mm and ate some dried ones w/ my popcorn. Went over really well :grin:

Welp, dried and weighed everything from my first grow's first flush - 11.19 grams.
I'm not a real experienced shroomer. Should I take suggestions for what to do w/ this bounty here, or take it to another forum?  :badshroom: I don't wanna cause any brain damage!

Brain damage? These mushrooms grow brain cells. So, I dunno. 11.19g wet? that's a baby dose, honestly.

Those mushies sure look awfully wet, they are being overmisted.

It's a turn of phrase. But grow brain cells??? If that were the case this forum should look like a very different place.
But I digress. DRIED there are 11.19g.

well, they do. There are a few studies done in rats. Here's an article I grabbed somewhat randomly, but is more and more info about them for PTSD and depression too.
http://reset.me/study/study-psilocybin-mushrooms-stimulate-growth-of-new-brain-cells/
:cookiemonster:

It's apparent on here that many, many people haven't learned what the mushrooms have to teach us. Don't let it discourage you.

On a side note, you should take half of that, in the dark, and alone :smile:
buckle up!

I read the article and looked at the journal that published the paper. I am reading the actual paper now, (unfortunately I cannot share my access to it), and it seems like a lot of the data is "massaged" if you know what I mean.
I am skeptical. There isn't a very good way to sort of grade how good a paper/journal might be regarded that I know of, but I can see that the journal as a whole, "Experimental Brain Research," has an Impact Factor of 2.057, which is kinda low. The paper is doing better though, but I'm not super convinced by it yet.
Its abstract, I think, is purposefully confusing and vague. You can read it yourself here, http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00221-013-3579-0.

Thank you for the link, I was having trouble finding the actual paper.
I read about some of the tests though, and I did find some truth in it. I can understand you sentiment about massaged data, it's far too common in scientific circles simply because of how they're funded, typically. However, I do have my own experience, and many others have theirs.

I've found these mushrooms to help me immensely. I've grown to have great respect for them, so I don't trip as often as I did when I began this journey (3x a week or sometimes more.) But when I do, it's always a very magical and healing experience. I'll also take a microdose every few days when I'm feeling down, and it helps me bounce back. These days I only do the big doses once a month or every other month.

Fungi are really incredible. Hericium is being tested for Alzheimer's disease because it regenerates nerve tissue. I think in the case of psilocybin, a lot of people take doses that are too small to be enlightening. They stick at the having fun stage, instead of going deep. Take a good amount in the dark--eat until you're full, or brew a tea with a good 5g in it. You'll likely get mentally smacked around a bit, come to terms with some things, know what you must do later, then feel the warmth and love of the mush.

:mushroom2: happy travels :peace:

ps. congrats on your first fruits. The typical right of passage recommended is to eat them all fresh with your first crops, but anyways. It's a great feeling, enjoy it.

Thanks for the congrats.
The timing to eat fresh was poor, and I am still holding some reservations. I've tripped maybe 10x over the last decade+, all of which have been great but on the milder side of things. I don't think I've ever gone past "level 3."
Also, I will pm you a pdf of that paper, dankington.

Oh cool tek
I usually just cut into small pieces with scissors and bring to a light boil with water in pot. I pour off into drinking vessel after 15 min. If a piece of mush falls in I eat it. When I'm done I eat the leftover  mushies in pot with something laying around....or hell make cereal in the pot with the mushies in. Lol

Good luck man; good vibes.
