Mycology for the ADHD. An overview of my noob-dive into mycology * 3
    #28074686 - 11/29/22 03:20 PM (2 years, 1 month ago)

*cue Seinfeld intro music* So what's the deal with mycology? I've been flying thru this hobby the past year now and BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED. No wait... that's not right. So why did the mushroom cross the road? To get to the funguscide! No that's not it either... I got this this time. So 3 Toadstools walk into a phone booth but can't fit because there isn't mushroom. No, people don't use phone booths anymore. What do fungus and mice in balloons have in common? Mycelium? But seriously i have questions and I know YOU have answers. Does it smell like fish to you guys in here?

Anyhow, I keep getting called a noob (or is it newb) and I read all the articles you guys write on all the teks for ad long as my ADHD will let me focus and here is what I've come up with.

I keep hearing about this "dialed in" thing but there's no dials on my monotub. It's not digital at all, so I guess it's an analog monotub. So again, no dials. Where can I find one of these dials and where would I install it? You say dialed in, so is it on the inside. Maybe I missed it when I added my bulk substrate ??? I'll pull everything out and see if I can find the dial and then put the substrate back in to finish growing the mushrooms that are fruiting now. You know, maybe I'm doing this all wrong. I have 2 monotubs and the word mono means one so maybe I'm screwing up my grow area by having more than one. Could it be they are contaminating one another?

Another question... so I just starting working with A gar. I had to order a gar from Florida. I didn't know but a gar turned out to be this huge fish with crocodile-like mouth and teeth. So I cut the thing up, using all sterilized equipment of course, and put a couple ml of the spore syringe on each piece in my SAB. After a few days it's really starting to smell BAD. When will I see the mycelium growth so i can see if the SS was contaminated. I'm guessing it was, because of the smell. It's like low tide at the beach. IDK what's up.

Also my PC didn't come with a "rocker" so I set it on the rocking chair we put on the back porch. I had to put a propane burner under the PC  and it was really hard to keep it steady while it was cooking. Glad I didn't burn the house down. But the grain spawn fell out as I was getting the PC off the rocking chair and the jars broke on the deck. The rye was expensive from the liquor store as not many people drink rye much anymore and the black berries and caviar (spawn) stained my deck pretty bad. Could've burnt the house down with the rye if it had gotten hit by the propane burner cause it's like 80 proof. But now my deck smells like low tide too, just mixed with berry pie au flambe.

Everyone keeps saying to try PF Tek instead of doing S2G. So I bought brown rice, flour and rats (I am guessing verm was short for vermin). The rats were more expensive than mice but I only wanted the best. I put the rats whole in the jars with the rice and flour. Now do I chop up the rats to roll the cakes in after they are fully colonized? They definitely don't smell like mushrooms yet especially after putting the wedges of a gar in each of them. No one told me this hobby would smell like rotten fish.

You know, I've been trying to do this mycology hobby thing for just over a year. I have looked at all the articles on this site about growing but after reading the title of reach subject, and maybe the first sentence, I just get board AF and go with my gut with what I think they must mean in the rest of the walk-through. They say context is everything but they aren't fooling me. A con is like a hustle and no one is gonna hustle me with their conartistry writing (con text). And who says I don't get how this hobby works? Anywho, I gotta go search for that dial in my monotub you guys kero talking about. But i really do think i got an analog monotub on accident. Who knew mushroom growing would be so gory and complicated?

You honestly made a very funny post.  Quite witty.  Definitely shows a talent.

The problem, imo, is that this is kinda a pointless post.  It's funny, but it's not relevant to anyone.  Actual ADHD and mycology have a connection, but you just went on a funny ramble. 

It's kinda like telling jokes at a funeral.  That's not to say that there's a marked better place for you to post this, just that mycology humor is so rare that when it happens it's out of place rather than hilarious.  Also, your post would be great in a comedy bar full of shroomery members.  Yet this is just a general discussion, so it doesn't hit right imo. 

Excellent jokes though, I enjoyed it.  It just was kinda wrong place wrong time.  I don't know the right place or right time though.  Still, it's well worded and clever.  I don't want you to feel discouraged, I just don't know which audience this would play best with.  We're the right people, but this is the wrong forum for it.

If you've never grown mushrooms before, here's how you start.  First, follow the Updated PF Tek, put 4 holes in jar lids not 1, and use a water tub! 
The next move is Shoebox Tek. After that you move onto grains, agar, monotubs.  Agar is easy, just do it.

Fair enough. Yeah I looked for a humor section of the forum and couldn't find anything. Maybe that's something the big Toadstools could start? Who knows maybe I'll have started a trend.

That being said I've seen some petty funny jokes at a funeral. There was this one in Ireland where the dead guy had recorded himself as if he was alive in the coffin yelling at the funeral goers and he was pretty hilarious. That's the kinda thing I'd do when I die. Except I don't want to be buried. I want my bones taken and chromed out and turned into a sick chopper style motorcycle and then sold to the leader of a heavy metal band to help pay for my HUGE debt I plan to leave my children when I die. Heh heh. True story.

But yeah, what about a humor and funnies section of the forum. I've got a million of em. I even have some mushroom based comics I've drawn up over the years. And thank you for the encouragement. It's a good thing I was trying to be funny cause, oh my lord, could you imagine..?

Ah, then I'd guess you're aware of the heavy metal bone guitar?  https://www.guitarworld.com/news/man-builds-guitar-out-of-his-dead-uncles-skeleton-uses-it-to-play-black-metal

I'm with you, I don't know that we have a lot of people looking to make mushroom jokes, but you're leading the pack as it stands.  Keep up the good work!  Don't let your mushroom grow limp.  Keep your sword sharp.

How would one go about getting the moderators to create a funnies forum?

I think it would start out very much like this!

dude... you have to buy the dials and instal them. We use to get them from the post office but now jeff bezos...
your right about the mono tub fuckin the room up. what you need to do is buy two more tubs and put them on top of your monos. Then they are dubtubs and work fine in pairs.
If your buying a gar then just get it pre powdered. Fuck messin with it. It smelted after a few days because it was anaerobic. you need to go and get some dials for your jars too.
the mice would have worked just as well as the rats. verm is verm
Asfar as the rocker goes. You did that right. It's the repetitive nature that makes it easier.



welcome to the shroomery.

Dials and dubtubs... Finally someone who gets me.


On the verm I decided to up the anti and go all in. I went with imported red kolinsky weasels. I figured I could use the leftover hair to make some killer paint brushes from their butt hair. You know, something to help me paint my miniatures for D&D.
