Confesion: I have to a few pictures of good flushes/fruit on here. Also when I did a G2G the other day I was going to take a shower but I had a bad feeling about taking a shower but I was already naked, so I turned the shower off and decided to get my SAB out and do a G2G completely naked. (good thing I did because my chickens were about to get slayed by a fox so I capped that fucked still wearing the latex gloves)

He said "We know exactly what your doing, I would advise you to get rid of it, you never know when we will come back". I told him he's welcome to come by anytime but please call first. That I wasn't breaking any laws, that any psilocybe spores (he saw them in the book I made) I have are completely legal for taxonomy as long as I destroy any mycelium that may grow prior to the knotting stage as per DEA guidlines, because no illegal substance is present at that stage according to the DEA'S own labs.
He asked where I get the spores and I said "Through the mail like everyone else or a cow field". Then he says " well when you get them from the pasture it's illegal, because you have to have possession of the mushroom to print it". I said " Not true, they never leave the pasture. I just cut off the cap, lay foil a board and print it under a container, they never leave". He said " you have it all figured out don't you"? I told him I wasn't trying to be a smartass, I just read and inform myself. He said " I hope your right" then left. A few days later they start showing up out front and down the street in marked cars.
Uhhh yeah, Fuck. That. Shit. I'm not that attached to this hobby that I'd ever chance doing another grow there. Only thing they'd ever find would be shiitake and oysters. You dodged a mighty big bullet there man

doc; since your not doing anything illegal, try to not let them get under your skin. I know easier said than done. I feel for you Brother. Probably coincidence they keep parking down the road.
As far as getting buddy buddy and inviting them in as suggested earlier. Fuck that, your not doing anything wrong and don't have to prove it. Cops game is weak, with the "we b watchin you" talk. You can't touch this.
Mycologist all the way Brother. It's your world.

LizardWizard said: As a commemoration of 500 pages of amateur mycologist confessions (Congratulations PsiloPsychin!!!) , and as my 4000th post, I'd like to add my stupidest, most dangerous confession ever. It's been a while since I did this one, and I've kept it to myself due to a fair bit of shame being felt about it...
I was at my place running my sterilizer. It's not an AA or anything, just an 8 quart old-ass Italian PC that I converted, without a safety on it. I was still getting it up to pressure, and what I would do was heat it up to about 17-18 PSI, then turn the heat to the lowest, letting it drop to 15. Then I'd turn it on again to push it towards 17-18, until it would stay above 15 with the smallest flame. After that, it will keep rising so I have to be around to babysit the cooker so it doesn't over-pressure. So I'm doing all this as usual, only at some point, my gas runs out. I go change the gas bottle out back, and turn the heat back on high to pump it above 15 again. I suddenly think "oh wait, I still gotta take my wrench back inside" So I go out again. BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!
I come back inside to a cooker that looks a bit off at first, especially because the needle seems to point to "0". I come closer to take a better look, and all of the sudden I realize what's happening. My face flushes to a pale white as I find the knob to quickly turn the stove off, and my knees tremble with a weakness in them that comes close to the type of feelings you get when the cops are right out the door and you're flushing your stash down the john. It was, of course, not at 0 PSI. No, when I turned the heat off, it took about 10 seconds for the needle to show any movement. As it started to back down from it's most ominous point ever, I tried to regain some sense of calm in me, and tried to reassure myself that after turning it off, things would be alright. And they were. Except for my cooker. From that point in time, it definitely has some deforming in the lid, causing it to not close off completely without some convincing. I've never left the cooker again with the heat on high. That was a lesson I will never ever forget. I'm glad to have lived that moment, because we all know there could have been a very different outcome to testing a pc-gone-sterilizer up to 40 PSI...
I confess it turned out better than expected, I figured you were going to have grains on the walls and a hole in the ceiling.

I confess I have been slacking off with my agar work lately. The past couple weeks have been busy and while I make time to inoculate jars, spawn tubs or harvest shrooms I just haven’t felt like busting out the torch and blade. Got a sleeve of plates waiting to be used but I think I’m just gonna hit the reset button after the new year and go back to spores on everything besides my woodlovers
I feel bad letting a couple dozen great looking cultures get overgrown. I need to get a little myco fridge

I thought that transferring overgrown plates is bad practice because it could carry along contaminants. Might just do that then lol

Look at them with a flashlight behind them, sometime you can spot contaminates...they will be darker than the rest of the plate...I revived a couple cultures I had around for about 6 months that way...the ones that looked iffy got flushed

I confess I'm pleased we made it to 500 pages and then more... I'm so very grateful to you all!
I want to wish you all the very best holiday season.
May you find peace and deep satisfaction in the best parts of your world, and Patience and resolve in the parts you are working to improve, and May you find it easy to open your heart to the kindness that others will offer you. Be graceful and kind yourself and Feel your hearts swoon in the appreciation of what is our nature and indeed the feeling of comfort in finding our way back to that home inside each and everyone of us!

That was my thought as well, but how would she hide something THAT big from him? If it does turn out to be a hood, then she deserves some serious head later tonight...
Could be a cool new scalpel or something...
