You guys have any opinions on which myc to use?

I guess it’s worth noting that the plate cooled at a slant, the thicker myc is on the thick side of the plate, thinner culture on thin agar.

Update, these have been dubtubbed for about a week. Interesting regarding the change from golden amber to brown as we discussed a few pages back, looks like they do indeed turn brown when mature. They seem to like the humidity in the dubtub although I’m not sure they’re getting enough fae? But I’m temporarily repurposing my sab so I can’t put more holes in. The armholes are covered with cloth to keep gnats out. Growth is basically as slow as normal but they seem to be maturing more readily in the dubtub, probably the humidity. Going to be doing some harvesting and drying this weekend. Just picked a fruit that I know is about 3 1/2 weeks old, it was dropping spores and starting to get a bit soft. 4 grams for that guy alone.

I’ve been getting good results from microdosing these guys, I’ve been taking about 0.2 wet grams 3-4 times a day for almost 2 weeks, with the plan to take Sundays and/or Saturdays off. On mondays I take about 1.3-1.5 wet grams before my IFS therapy sessions. On non-therapy days I’ve noticed that my mood is better, I’m laughing a lot more, and I’m a little more talkative and a bit more open with others. I have more energy. My sleep quality is better regardless of how long I sleep, and in general I feel more rested in the mornings. Therapy isn’t easy or fun, but I do feel that the low dose helps me get in contact with the parts of me that need help, so it’s baby steps but I feel I’m making more progress than without mushrooms. How that’ll play out and look long term remains to be seen.

IME this redosed-microdose regime is quicker and better than any antidepressant I’ve ever tried (I’ve tried about 15 different ones without much success). Not sure how the redosing thing affects tolerance, but I am not doing any high doses and so far this schedule is working well with noticeable improvements, which is far more than expected after only 2 weeks.

Those are quite distinct from my pins; curious about what phenotype you'll get. Best of luck!

the yellow bits are curcumin that I just noticed after... reading the ingredients on the Jelly package description... a natural mild MAOI... I'll add a bit of black pepper on the next round
