yeah i painted and cut yards for 2# an hour. in texas. thats too fucking hot. we made the biggest mistake. we used to mow yards when we were under 15 for 20$ a yard. this guy was like hell yeah come on.
ill give you 30. we took it.
the grass was 4' tall. what a fucking nightmare. 
won't do that again. after that point, look at the yard first. then assess price haha
live and learn.

I think she meant she set it aside and forgot about it, meaning to put it in the freezer. I did the same a couple weeks ago, had put grain soak in a pyrex media bottle and capped it, took forever to get the smell out. I knew it was gonna reek so i opened it outside lol

Haha. I think you read that too fast. A cup of grain water I was saving for the freezer not a cup of grain water that actually made it into the freezer. I set it on a shelf in my room and forgot about it. I have these two mugs I specifically use for my pc that I keep on the shelf and i must have assumed if it was up there I had already washed it out. That one time my brain tried to be organized and put things back where they belong and failed.

I confess that pulling all of this together and dealing with all the shit in my life has been the hardest thing ever.
Ooooh I'm so freaking excited cause my pan cyan grain bags are super colonized already. It must be that it's been so hot and my rooms been averaging 75. My idea of making a slightly softer agar for the last round of cultures so it would be easier to break up with the grain was a super success. It just kind of crumbled everywhere. A few days when I saw significant grow and noticed there were some clumps I distributed it a bit more and today the whole bag is almost covered. I'll wait till its almost colonized and give it one more light shake. Ya know you found a good company when you can use their grains a month later and they are contam free. But I have my own jars now so I'm excited. I'm going out for a mycology walk soon to see what kind of possible fungi I can find to culture. Then I am coming home to make some agar so I can get the KSSS and PESA out of my jars before it escapes on it's own terms. I'm crazy behind on that. Also I didn't get to dropping in my jars yesterday because I let them cool inside the PC and I was too worried about the heat so I have to get that done too. Depending on what I find when I'm out will depend on how much agar I have to make.

Here is my incredible ganoderma sessile first culture made with the wrapping the flesh in alchohol before cutting it open and transferring. 100 percent contam free. This one wants to escape so I'm putting it on grain too.

PAN CYANS! I can't wait!I think I dropped these on the 2nd.

My jars. Unfortunately this PC only fits 9 instead of 10 jars like the presto. But good enough! My very own first jars.

Mush cult has had time passing by really quickly relative to my life, all the while things have been getting better at work, in my relationship, and my family.
I think I'm due for a good trip soon. Haven't done anything more than an eighth in 5+ years

I've heard taking and anti histamine before taking the wood lovers will help with WLP. Apparently it has to do with the histamines present in the fungi.

Thats just op's thinking. I think it's a potency thing. Many more theories, It's a good thread and the jury is still out on the issue.

Has anyone confirmed that there is histamine present? Might be a question for Alan Rockefeller

I confess even though I am 99.9 percent sure I ate chicken of the woods and wine caps I still feel a great deal of anxiety even 3 hours after dinner. It was my first time not just looking at wild edibles but consuming them. I only ate a little so the worst thing is gastric upset but I still have the dear of death in me.
