I confess a few things actually, •I've been on a binge with these luminous lucies since I've dried them out, •I've been picking my spaceships as they grow, they pop in your mouth like a gushers, •Thinking about scrapping my subs after the first because I can't seem to get anything consistent on the top after the first flush, is this a waste, or no?

I confess that yesterday I was doing no-pours and after the PC there was sediments in the bottle. Strange I thought? After 1 hour out of the PC it was not hard the agar. Wtf? So I throw it away and started again....
Same thing happened again! WTF !! 65 NO POURS wasted? Fuck it! I will try one last time because I needed plates! Never before have I failed like this with the agar?
As Im doing my third run for this day.. I notice as Im reaching in for my agar jar that I have been using my gypsum jar and not the jar with agar in it...
Pro tip: mea and 10g gypsum does not make good agar..

My confession; I breaks my heart every time a myco Brother or myco Sister talks about suicide,brain blasting, pain and hurt! We are here for each other, nothing is to bad where you can't reach out. Every one of you are a huge part of this world and we need you! Believe That!
I love you all, batshit crazy or not.

it especially breaks my heart when people make threads here asking for help with their suicidal thoughts and people respond by being jerks to them.

I had some SAB poured plates not set today. Not sure what went wrong. Will probably have to wait for more plates to get here to try again though. Or maybe I'll get some glads and try no-pour.

I fucking love you guys... left, bc of mushrooms, I've quit drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes (100 days ago today), recently give up soda (still on the coffee kick) and seriously considering/doing research into vegetarian/vegan... having some real shit guilt everytime I have meat...
I confess, a test indeed... I had spawned 40lbs of blue oyster spawn to 120-140lbs of straw... came home to 10 logs and 4 tubs of Trich! G2G a sweaty bag telling myself "I've spawned worse, it'll be alright... it's just sweat and metabolites from the heat" ...
Threw a hissy fit, broke things, slung trich infested straw all over the porch and driveway, and beat myself over the head for a few seconds(fucking retarded; but I felt better?)... lesson of the day? I knew better, and did it anyway so don't...
Now I'm 5-8 weeks out from any substantial blue oyster harvest... great timing too, having just impressed my first real potential customer!
A bit embarrasing? Yes... But it's important (more so?) To share failure as well as success

Nah you're good, I'm not sure, I used to twist and pull, now I cut with trimming scissors at the bases. At first I thought it was too dry, so I sprayed 2 and left 2, but both still have nothing and only side pins...

Mushrooms cut down my pot and alcohol use in half, out of nowhere, no intentions at all. I've been keeping up with it. Also went vegitarian about 90 days back. It's kinda depressing at times, but I feel fucking great. Due to medications I stopped being able to drink coffee (made my stomach hurt like I had drank 3 pots w/o eating... but just from taking one sip ) so I started drinking coke some mornings for caffiene... one turned into two... before I knew it I was grabbing a Big GulpTM on the way into work every day.
My next step is to cut out soda again... fuck of a drug caffeine is.
Anyways! Go vegetarian first if you intend to go vegan. Vegans would likely tell me to fuck off, but fucking seriously it's hard to make these changes and you don't even realize how much shit isn't vegan at first (like... Worcester sauce. This means most bloody marys aren't vegan... that's fucking right!). Go veggie (hell I'm pescitarian so I also eat fish because shit is too hard otherwise) and try to cut out dairy products and eggs. You'll find certain things easier than others: like I've completely substituted olive oil for butter, but not fucking cheese. I don't know if ya'll can ever take my cheese.
I confess, I put a lot of weight on mushrooms to help me in ways they probably can't (like quitting soda and going veggie)... but then they teach me that I have to do it on my own.

I confess my peroxide agar ended up a soft gel... but I decided to use it anyway!
Not going to run the side by side experiment with black tea that I was planning because of the anomaly, but rather than dumping 10 plates in the garbage, I might as well see if they'll chooch.

Im really close to peeing in one of my old subs to see what will happen.
I eat bloody red meat every day. O- blood and a genetic mutation make it necessary for me. Im basically a vampire. Luv the sunshine but must suck life from cows and deers and shall not enter the house of god. Tried going veggie once and got really unhealthy. It's not for everyone. We are all a little different. And caffine is not necessarily bad for you, but if you need that shit all day then prolly not good i guess.
Also, i smoke dabs and chief on my my vape ALL DAY LONG...every day.

This all day long. I get into so many debates with people over things like low carb, keto, vegan, vegetarian, etc. Most people who've found something that works for them thinks that it's going to be the optimal for everyone else and far too often thinks that people who don't subscribe to their method are just making excuses. I've personally experimented with lots of diets to find things that work well for me, and even that changes over the years.

I confess. I have not been excited about myco work latley. Took a 10 day lake trip. Ate wild boar that we shot. Catfish that we caught. And veggies we grew. I feel great. And I'm so ready to get in front of my hood and make some magic happen.

Liquor and LSD worked wonders for me, but the stimulants and erl surely helped... more so I would say moderation is key, but the L definitely helps one stay in tune.

I confess... me+drinking=moderation is an invalid equation lmao... so I just dont: 3 years come June 11... 100 days nicotine free today, almost 3 weeks without soda, and no meat for 2 days... cheese will be much more difficult to give up... and I may not... my thing isn't health, it's guilt... hard to keep eating something I know can (could have)look(ed) me in the eye as it breathed the same air as I do (did)... hard to enjoy with those images flashing in and out: even though I'd give my right arm for a guilt free ribeye right about now!
