Hello, noob at large here trying to get some mycelium going from a print I was graciously given some weeks ago.

I just have experience with cubes but I'm willing ng to bet this is not normal




Those are transfers from a germination on water agar I made on July 8th. It took a long time to germinate and then the mycbess very week but didn't look like the plates above.



I find strange that both of the transfers are affected but a couple of other plates (natalensis) do not look this  moldy.


Anyhow, shall I try to transfer the 2nd plate above or do I start all over again? Thanks for the inputs

Fucks sake... If I ate 32g fresh semps I'd be inside out... . Bet your ass I'm about to read that trip report.

Thanks

I read it. “I think 2 hours in, the trip was mostly over. Still had difficulty talking.”
That’s the first indication my trips are over. Still having trouble talking….. aside from that I’m fine. 
How did you determine the dose? Such an odd amount.

So wild to hear/see your tolerance.

And You bet your bottom dollar I am stoked to try mine and give a good old trip report. Probably next weekend.

I certainly do remember the shoebox.
32.7 fresh just tightens my hamstrings up like standing on the edge of a cliff does. I’d still climb but I’d be very very careful. That’s 3 points of contact dosing.
I’d be thinking, “Dear God, what have I done? And then I’d have 4 hours to find out.
Your situation is unique to you, I’ve read your posts, we’ve PM’ed and I know  your tolerances.
I have zero and fear someone deciding to Heroic Dose on Semperviva……

I'm honestly scared of them, which is very exciting considering I snack out of the cyan/azzie jar like they were apple chips.

And that’s what you shouldn’t do with these. I gave a buddy a small jar and warned him these were not cubensis mushrooms and casually snacking was a bad idea. He did it anyway because he’d had mushrooms before and could handle it. He got pummeled.
Lesson learned.
That’s why I grind them up and make accurately dosed chocolates. Then they decide to eat two….
An ounce of matchsticks from Christmas. I have 6 more jars……..
