Introduction Time 1

Hello all. New member here. Been lurking around here for a while trying to learn things I need to know and how to use this site. Been trying to grow some mushrooms...making mistakes and now seeing a small fraction of success with one jar out of six, but hey...I'll take it. At least it's producing mycelium. Had to throw away 2 cakes, re-sterilized the other 4 and re-inoculated them and now I have one chugging along. So very slowly. Heh. Made the very noob mistake of buying one of those small MW 6 jar kits. Live and learn. I believe those jars are just too dry. I just knocked up 4 bags of Uncle Ben's this morning and hopefully, I can put those in the tub I have. What are those, about 15 qt, I believe? Anyhow, I know what most of you are thinking..."Here we go again". Actually, I do want to do it right but right now I live in an old building that probably has more of a contamination level that I really care to deal with so the rest will have to wait. Also, I'm doing this for the most part for anxiety and OCD. I will not take pharmaceuticals. I want to get a fairly fast (hasn't been happening so far) first round under my belt so I can get started, so please be patient with my blatant noobness. Then there is the spiritual aspect of it. I know some don't believe in it, but that's okay. There's not really a thing anyone could say to change my perspective on that. To each his own. We all have to go on our own experience. Isn't that all we've really got, after all? Well, just wanted to say hi and wish everyone well...and also keep my lurking from looking...well, you know. LOL. Thanks for your time and happy days to you all.

Welcome! The mushroom growing process is exciting. It's so cool to take it from a spore to a mushroom then blast off. I haven't had a mushroom trip in around a decade and I'm having fun getting back into it.
Spiritual is such a broad term that really doesn't hold any weight imo. It's a chemical reaction in the brain, we can prove this and demonstrate this beyond any reasonable doubt. But hey, as long as you're enjoying it and are safe, to each his own!
Welcome to the Shroomery!
