Was just about to make a new post about slick Willy; good thing I used the magic search engine.

Gonna give him credit for initial exposure to the hobby back in the day, but quickly learned that 1) he literally rips everything from Shroomery and Nexus without giving any credit and 2) his teks and procedures often suck ass once you learn how to do things the right way, simply by reading and practicing what's on the forum. He literally the worst sterile technique I've ever seen in my entire life.


Fortunately more people are active on YT with good technique, actual results and who generally give credit where is due that are flooding his BS out.

lol. I love to shit on him for taking prints under a running ceiling fan.

It's been a few months but 99% of the stuff on YT I've seen is garbage, same with reddit. It's just a flood of inexperience repeating the same debunked mistakes and misconceptions, alot of them are just repeating stamet's book from decades ago that wasn't even accurate in it's time. Problem is they're all majority rule so tons of newbies repeating and approving each other drown out any experienced people and treat them like they're foolish. It's ashame they just don't know better. Shroomery (and I guess Nexus?) heirarchy systems of ratings, join dates, and tags seems to have a big impact and keeps us at the top of our field.

Yeah man it’s crazy how Reddit is like early 2000’s sites like mycotopia.  All the same shot we tried and debunked 20 years ago is running rampant.. refeeding, weird “casing layers”, daily misting and fanning, parroting horrible advice.. it’s ridiculous. 

I’ve got c/p saved messages for ppl that have 5 cakes in a huge sgfc.  All I can say is they respond well to pictures lots of irrefutable pics goes a long way at shutting up the ppl that need it.

Been thinking of starting a subreddit called “Mycthbusters” that (re)debunks all this horrible “technique” and outdated methods.. points out why most YBers suck and what they doing/teaching wrong etc.  haven’t really put a ton of thought into it but allowing only vetted posts and having the best of the best mod it etc.  that place needs it

Check out The Rookie Mycologist for some more garbage YT content. He's gonna have more subscribers than them all soon because of his cannabis commercial channel. He's all about getting people to spend money with his sponsors. There's one comment where he directly calls out "old school Mycologists" so he can prove them all wrong. So far he's only using the kits from his sponsors and UB.

What a POS
