True Confession:

When I post a question about if something will work... 9 times out of 10 I'm already testing it out and just want to see how much you guys will flame the idea  :awesomenod:




My first crazy idea worked out really well:

and spawned and even better idea:

Had to do it sometime I guess. The SAB work I did afterwords was pretty sloppy as well. Today isnt my day  :shake:

Hopefully I'm more capable tomorrow. I got my first print on Thursday. (SO STOKED) so I gotta make some clean :syringe:syringes:syringe:. I gotta be on my A game. I think I'll do a practice run with some old syringes and some pepper :rolleyes:

I once ran a PC dry. The bottom of it warped slightly, and I wasn't going to mess with that so I called Presto to see if I could get a new one (mine was under warranty). I had to explain what happened to an agent, and she said, "the PC should be at least half full of water" or something like that, and I had to explain how every amateur mycologist in the world does not use it like that, we only put an inch or two of water in, and unless you're a complete dumbass it'll be fine. She had never heard of PCs being used like that.  :laugh:

This site has like 150,000 registered users, so they've probably sold around that many PCs to just our members alone!

I should add that I did indeed get my PC replaced for free :laugh:

Homebrewing gave me a taste, but mycological work really opened my eyes to the world of microbiology and the absolutely astounding prevalence of microbes & spores & such everywhere.

It's also made me go from being sort of grossed out/disgusted by mushrooms being the fruiting body of a fungus to fascinated by them now that I have a deep understanding of the organism & how they function. Ignorance leads to fear, I suppose. & the more I learn the more I'm enthralled.

Pics of your deep understanding, or it didn't happen. Also, you need a rating.

Right?  only 45 posts in 4.5 years, clearly waiting until he/she has something profound to say before typing...  :lmafo:

The spore syringes are going to agar, I'm using a type of the Pasty EZ LC jars. I cant do pour as I am out of Petri dishes and the only options I have to get more are too expensive at present.

It was a equisit bouquet of sour bacteria, cheesy bacteria, alcohol yeasty, mildew, and mold ....

There was a fair bit of wincing and gagging...and I almost threw them out but I hate waste.

A hot soapy bleach water soak and scrubbing turned them around!
