My confessional for the day: I'm leaving my business trip early because my first two tubs of Nats ever are ready for harvest and I'm ecstatic

Me neither. Ain't nobody got time for that.
 Wait, why is my shiitake spawn bacterial?

To be fair, I think the grain prep was fucked because there were some other questionable jars in that batch from cultures that looked squeaky clean on agar. But I do kinda wish I had double-checked that LC.

I cut corners in the sab. I don't allow for any settling time between taking things in or out. I pay a 5-10% contam fee for the convenience.
I have the opposite problem, I set things in the box and while waiting for air to settle I forget and leave them there for a day

I confess I had a HORRIBLE trip on azzie tea a few months ago and I've been fucked up since. I may not trip again for a couple of years after that experience.
Y'all ever hear the mushroom 100th hour theory? for a lot of people it seems you can only trip so many times before it's a 50/50 chance you'll have a bad one. I know quite a few people this has happened to, but also most of us have pretty severe PTSD.

I put agar in bags that were still warm and killed the mycelium. 😞

I figure, had to try once for myself though. Could have been a different Lil green mold too I don't really know, I didn't take a Pic, I took a panic.

Damn, Azzies can be pretty rough when they want to. I hope you can recover pretty quickly. My most horrible trip left me unstable for at least a month and feelings of shame persisted for a good few years (no Azzies involved tho).

Yeah I fucked around and whoooooooo boy did I find out. Sometimes you hear what you need to, and that doesn't mean you will be mentally healthier for it for a long time. It certainly has been the catalyst I needed to seek help though. I have since been diagnosed with severe Autism (shocking exactly no one), severe ADHD combined type, severe PTSD, severe Major Depressive Disorder, and moderate Social Anxiety Disorder.
