Losing anything to contam.

I say a short little prayer for the fungus when discarding. Poor guy. I had so much hope in them. Now they get to battle it out in my garden. RIP in peace.

A close second is the patience needed. Xen master levels of patience.

What I hate the most is people saying what they hate the most. Because I think about it and then I hate that too. So thanks everyone now I hate everything about growing mushrooms.

The general patience this hobby requires is what drives me insane. 10 days here, 6 hours there, 20 minutes there. Waiting on spawn bags to colonize, waiting on shit to ship to me, waiting on mushrooms to mature. It all just seems so fucking slow, but when I finally get to the final step I feel so much better.

Gotta agree with harvesting and cleanup. Waking up getting ready for work only to realize if I don't harvest now it's going to be a spore mess. Fuck that.

It's funny because when I first started growing harvesting was all I cared about.

And yeah, anything to do with cleaning. Jars, tubs, throwing away substrates. Fuck all that.

I would have to say PCing grains or in general.
Having to babysit the PC for a couple hours is the main part. Gives me time to clean up, organize and wipe the area down a bit though. :cookiemonster:

Really? Why?




pain in the ass(wrist) bad hand writing. lots of small reasons. it just annoys me greatly.

when i first did agar i thought i would remember them all without labels:oldman::facepalm:



What I do is have a number sistem and a corresponding list
Like everything with 1 is Cub strains
The letter it starts with corresponds with date
And the letter it ends with is side note
Then you only have to do is A1A for the top Petri
PS I'm very lazy.

What do you think is the worst headache about growing? You get to pick one.

For me, it's getting rid of trash. I live in a city and have a million neighbors. A couple tubs at a time is a significant amount of trash to discreetly get out before it contaminates in my house. And that means I have to carry around psilocybin-containing substrate when I dump it. Not fun.



Same here but ive never "contaminated my house" and ive had nasty as fuck looking substrates hanging out before. I dump them out into trash bags in the house... in the process that's knocking loose plenty of spores. I also open windows in the summmer :shrug:

The worst part of growing is often me.

Example, the other day I was checking moisture levels on one of my shoeboxes before work, I fumbled the box and dumped the entire substrate on my work shoes and made a fairly decent mess. Cleaning up resulted in being late for work.
