Also I can't do that Cronicer but I bet you can do this. Hopefully I don't get banned for teasing you back. I know some people here get butt hurt easily.
I bit my lip and just got all the sterilized bags down the stairs. Fucking back. I think I got to the oyster jars just in time. And luckily this strain of lions mane is a bit wispier on grain and takes forever to consolidate. I usually spawn it earlier once there is mycelium throughout the jar cause it takes off once I get it on substrate. I didn't have to risk breaking it up with my hands. The oysters I confess went way too long. They had consumed most of the grain and turned into a thick white mycelial cake full of rye mush. It was clean though and smelled great. Ugggh. But my fucking back. I'm going to go to the store and get some chocolate syrup to make chocolate milk because I read it makes taking Kratom easier. It hurts so bad I feel nauseous. and these antibiotics I'm on aren't helping. Bactrim is nasty.
Also whoever recommended zip ties is a fucking genius. Works way better than the bobby pins I used last time.

TBC get some chocolate ice cream or syrup and milk of your choice and make a milkshake with it and get it down as fast as you can. Chocolate does help but Kratom is really bitter and harsh like san pedro but so worth it. It helps me with joint pain and leaves the scalp with a nice tingly feeling, but I use about 4-5tsp worth which is equivalent to more than a high dose. I tend to have a really high tolerance level though. Really depends on the strain too. Some are better for sedating and others are better for an uplifting 'high'

I love your persistence, TBC. I'm sure the Oysters appreciate you powering through back pain.

I confess today I inoculated 2 plates with store bought oyster and shiitake tissue. I'm not expecting a big succes, but I still hope to get some fruits, and maybe try to make a new fruiting strain from the oyster. I suspect the shiitake is gonna be a real bitch to find a fruiting strain in spore cultures, so I'll probably still end up buying or trading a culture one day...

I've had some decent success from spores with edibles but I burned through so many plates I may as well have just ordered a culture

Check my journal 
I've heard Shiitake is not very good at throwing out new fruiting cultures. Any idea if that's true?
I'm trying the same with a Hericium Erinaceus culture now. Started that up a month ago or so. Still on agar of course.

I confess I fucking just shit my pants and dumped 9 quarts of grain and a nice shoebox that was fruiting down the toilet. My fucking uncle drives a fucking crown Vic and shows up unannounced banging on the door I looked out the window an all I seen was a car that looked similar to a cop car and freaked the fuck out. So after I flushed all that I peeked out of a different window and could tell it was my uncles car an not a cop. I am fucking so pissed but at the same time I guess better safe than sorry

Yay, TY cronicr! I like this thread 
I will try to stay on topic..,..
I confess that I was hoping to get a bunch of void and cp bp spawn ready to throw outdoors this spring but I'm realizing these things aren't cubes. I'm getting it figured out, just not as fast as I would like though.

Uhhh
“However, the police can enter without a warrant or permission in order to arrest someone or take them into custody when they have reasonable grounds to believe that:
- they need to enter in order to prevent someone inside from being seriously injured or killed, or
- there is evidence in your home that relates to a serious offence, and they need to find that evidence right away or it might be lost or destroyed.”

they kept track of how much food went to waste it was literally thousands of lbs. just from a single dining hall
Wow, that's terrible. It makes me sick how much we (myself included) waste. I'm starting to meal prep so I only buy what I need instead of going to the store and ending up wasting it.

TheBlackCat said: The U.S. fucking sucks. We throw out at least half of our produce every year. I watched my friend tossing a bunch of expensive produce in the trash because it was old but it wasn't bad. I can barely afford to buy food and people just dump it.
I've seen 100's of acres of beans, corn, melons, cotton and other crops tilled into the ground because the markets were full.
Edit: So I stay on topic, I confess that I disagree with the current world economy, feel sad and frustrated that people are starving while the ones with the power, order food destroyed. I confess that I disagree with the current legal status of certain medicinal fungi and once again I blame those in charge, whom allow their ignorance of these sacred life forms to fearmonger and control free thinking they do not agree with. Why do we the people allow this? I confess that I believe some things should be free, such as food and medicine, water and electricity. I confess mycology has planted a spore in my heart, now I have the desire to float where the wind takes me, seeking a less crowded environment where I can fully immerse myself in the hobby without the prying eyes of neighbours. I want to have separate outdoor beds for different species/strains and not have to worry if someone looks over the fence (like I do now).

Hey Folks Pay attention. Stay on topic!

This Thread is in Mushroom Cultivation. If it’s not a confession about mushroom cultivation please take it to the Pub or OTD. This thread got locked yesterday becaus of off topic discussion.
Please I don’t want to lose this special thread.

That's why I have cameras hooked to a cloud. I confess it is super scary whenever I see the cops nearby but you just gotta relax. Cronicer is right. If they want you they aren't coming alone. It put a stop to my landlord just entering all willy nilly when I told him put a camera in. But I'm not really worried. I'm so painfully white that cops here won't bother me. I only got scared by the cops a few times because of the people that used to live upstairs. SO glad they are gone. One time the asshole guy upstairs took his other kid from the mother when it wasn't his day to visit with him. So he basically kidnapped his kid. And they were there a few other times for him for one reason or another. Not my business. Another time the guy had a broken truck and he forgot to put blocks behind the wheels and it rolled into a bush across the street. Pretty funny. Man that lady cop gave me the second degree. I was like I really don't live upstairs and live in the garden apartment and was just super cooperative and told her he's probably at the park down the street or something. Dudes lucky the mom didn't press charges. Oh and I almost forgot about the time I heard this massive loud banging. Just bang, bang, bang, bang. I went upstairs and found a cop banging on my railing. I was like may I help you officer? He said the neighbors called because there were some baby raccoons in the bush and they were afraid they were going to attack their kids. I was like those things barely have their eyes open. The mother will be back later but only if you stop banging so much. And then I told him I'd call around for a rehab place for them in the morning if the mother didn't return. How do cops not know how nature works or just people in general? You just have to stay calm and not act all sketchy.

I also confess I'm eating food out of a pouch because I hurt myself trying to do all the myco work and other things. Then I was all high from the adrenaline from getting it done I decided to go grocery shopping to make sure I have easy things to cook till I'm better and ibuprofin. I think I overdid it for sure. I have to walk my groceries home and bought my usual heavy load off stuff because they were having a lot of BOGO stuff. Oops.
