I was going to start a Today I Learned thread yesterday but did a quick search and there was one that die 3 years ago in the pub. I'm trying to bring it back and get it going again. Feel like it would be a good way for us to learn from each other in various topics and aspects. I know it's not the same idea, still would encourage people to check it out and add something to keep it going.

I confess, I didn’t choose mush cult life. Mush cult life chose me. I have substituted a 10 year meth and heroin addiction for it, but now it has gripped me by the balls.
“Welcome to MC Anonymous” “Hi, I’m Adrenochrome, and I’m an addict” “Hi Adrenochrome”
This internal dialogue/imaginary role play, has cause me to start a thread that I may or may not be able to monitor for long, considering that my addiction to MC had been known to cost me everything other than my very life in the past. That being said, I will gladly take an MC addiction over putting a needle in my arm any day of the week. And will continue to go to the greatest lengths possible to resourcefully handle my “fix”.
So if you or anyone you know find yourself choosing mush cult as their DOC because they have an addictive personality and it is much less harmful than whatever other junk was filling the void, please join me to discuss these and other “taboo” practices here https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27137243

I confess.... I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Like ever; with anything. Learning really is a true and deep passion for me and I love just learning about the tiny details of ordinary everyday things that most never consider and learning about vast complex and all encompassing topics that I will never actually encounter. Dozens of hobbies and a half dozen projects running at any one time; electrical, mechanical, mycological, floral, technical... And through all of it the one constant is no matter how much I learn I eventually turn a page, or click a link, or talk to someone and BOOM! A whole new dimension of the topic with its own nuances and details that I didn't even know existed or at least now to that complexity. It just never stops and I love it. I want all the rabbit holes.

I feel that Gypsy, I love me some rabbit holes. I might not have quite that much going on at once but as soon as I buy a piece of property that will be my life. I want to be able to just pick up a new hobby and go full blast on it. I do that with mycology and it already takes alot of my time, however I have many things I can't do because I don't own this house.
I confess, there are many of you on here that I look up to almost like a role model even though I've never met a one of you. So many good people on here compared to the people that live around me.
We need to make a collective shroomite colony.

I just had to throw away the very first shoeboxes I ever made due to them turning green overnight, about a week into spawning. I confess that I don't feel as bad about this as I thought I would! It sucks to put two months of work into the dumpster of course, but I learned a lot and I think I can make my LAGM grow a lot more successful now.

A Fungal Colony. HAHA We need to find a good site, send a few of us out as spawn to start colonizing. Put up some mushroom shaped huts.... I like where this is going. 
Edit: bit of a cross post but felt it should be here.
I confess I love the smell of PCing WBS. I hear people complain about it from time to time, including my gf, but I think it smells great. Just a thick, deep, earth/starchy smell. Like part rice/part bread. It's almost like a primal scent marker or something. Some part of my genetics tells me that smell is a sign of good things for some reason.

Why didn't I think of that! 
Mushroom huts and hats, I can see the future of mush cult 
And I love the smell of cooking WBS to, Oats even more so. Drying mush can vary, GT smelled great while Arg smelled supppper strong and hits my face when I walk in.

I’m the same way, I’ve always been a fiend for new knowledge or skills. I really don’t know what I’d be doing if the internet wasn’t invented. That ability to just jack into the mainline of all human knowledge is amazing.
Too many people let not knowing what they’re doing hold them back. You gotta start somewhere. Plus once you do enough stuff you realize that nobody really knows what they’re doing. They just seem like they do cuz they’re currently doing it.
Just dive in and see what happens.

Is it a giant melted burnt mess or did it literally run out of water as soon as the cycle finished?

A.k.a said: I just dug through my stash this morning and found a few natalensis prints if you still need one.
Definitely worth reading though the natal thread, it’s a super weird mushroom.
Now that's what I want to see, something different with a challenge. I'm interested in anything that can be cultivated, not necessarily edible or psychoactive, just something cool. I dig taxonomy and there's nothing like looking at fresh clean mushrooms that make for excellent learning tools without any foreign contamination or being heavily spore laden. I would also like some confirmed Panaeolus foenisecii prints for my Panaeolus studies, as well as fimicola and Olivaceous.

I confess depression is a bitch and it fucking sucks when that kills my passion for anything really. I have all of my lagm shit set up for transfers. Sab is in place, plates are labeled and ready for transfers I just have to do it. But I fumbled around with some transfers off a print that's giving me nothing but problems and decided to hang it up when I was in a better spot but that's not coming, so I guess I'll just stop being a little bitch and go fuck up some transfers

I confess I have this weird area where I'm no longer asleep but im not quite awake yet and I have the weirdest dreams in this little area... this morning it was all the plates are ready to take transfers but I hadn't poured new plates... then I didn't have any grain jars... then I ran outta totes... it was this perpetual feeling of being behind and not being able to get caught up... it was probably only 5 minutes real time but I felt exhausted after it all...

When I was a chef I had "kitchen nightmares" like that. Usually a never ending ticket. No matter how many times I put it up, I'm still short one plate. Always involved shrimp for some reason.

Man I truly feel that. I have watched full monos and minis go from prime for harvest, to a late and spore covered harvest, to a mushy wilting mass of shame as I just could not pull myself out of a dark place to do the work. It was work I enjoyed and I wanted to do it. I just "couldn't". I don't if that makes sense and I'm not trying to say I know what you are feeling, but I think I know where you are coming from. This community has been a huge help to me in times like that so just know you are 100% among friends here and we will in any way we can. The darkness WILL pass and we and much cult will be here for you when you're ready.

I don't expect anything from my friends other than respect... if you can't respect my time and all the hard work and help ive put in on your behalf, you can take a long walk off a short pier... lol

I can relate to this big time. In years past I've let a bunch of cultures go to waste because of the black dog. Some days you just gotta power through it and get shit done, but you'll thank yourself for it later.

Man... there's one dude that was an acquaintance about 15 years ago that randomly saw me in a bar 2 years back... within a week I was watching his untrained 110lb pit bull for 10 days while he was on vacation... it only went down hill from there... hes got 7 or 8 baby mamas, although he's been at arms length for a while so he could have easily upped that number... lol

Sounds like a grade A cock-smooch. I hate feeling swindled in the name of friendship. I am sick and tired of “contract” relationships.
