I confess. I got my sister in law to join the shroomery. She has been dabbling with mushrooms as a sort of therapy and I couldn’t be happier.

I confess I bought a tyvec suit for sterile work and I’ve never opened the package!
I confess I like this lab coat idea just for the sake of rockin it. (We could show off our secret lab coat / sterile (unsterile) attire in this thread!)
Ok last confession for now. There was a time when I probably spent an hour or two in this thread every week - and really was nourished by the camaraderie and sharing. I realized tonight I miss it and I’d just kind of forgotten about this (I wasn’t on the Shroomery much either). I got busy with less important shit and fell away. I confess I kind of feel guilty about this.
Nice to hear from you MycoBros and MycoSistahs I’ll be checking in more often!
Wishing You All Well

Don't I know it I've got my fair share of jars, bottles and no pours.
I confess, I Can't tell you how many I've thrown out from laziness

I confess: I tried using 6 month old grain jars - story below.
Took a few months off and didn't want to start from scratch again. I had 5 pint jars of grain that had been sterilized 6 months prior alongside some bone dry fully grown agar plates that were just as old.
Decided to scrape what I could into the jars and hope for the best.
Somehow 2 of the 5 jars showed growth! No visible contamination, but jars were extremely slow. 5 weeks later I have 2 fully colonized jars & feeling like I cheated death.
Decide to expand my sketchy grain jars and end up with 12 qts of sketchy spawn that I send to bulk. I probably could have made this work with a 1:1 ratio.......but that would make too much sense.
I decided to make 2 66qt monos at 1:4 and 1 shoebox at 1:1.
You guys can assume what happened next 
Monos went 2 weeks before going green. The only survivor was the 1:1 shoebox & which gave me just under an oz.
In reality, I needed this loss to happen. Patience is everything & this hobby is a great reminder.
