That’s quite substantial, damn

It seems in the recent past some TCs were adamant that there is no potency difference between fresh and dried and that just doesn’t make sense to me.

But a lot of things don’t make sense to me at first so oh well, I guess the only real way to know is test it, but I’m inclined to believe the anecdotes that confirm my bias, as most are :rofl:

Yeah, it doesn't seem there's any consensus yet. Many are still basing potency thoughts on fresh vs dry weight. Yes, after drying you end up with around 10% weight. But to think the proper wet dose to reach a dry target dose is 10x dry weight... Is just not thinking it through.

Are these hyphal knots or something else? I was told this spawn was bacterial but I could still get fruits from it.

I also didn't know at the time that I wasn't supposed to inoculate grain with a swab plate :doh:, it seems like there are a lot of metabolites :shrug:.

This is 1 of 4 so I'm not too worried about it but would like to learn as much as I can from this first go.

Thanks guys I think I feel at peace with assuming fresh is stronger, which seems obvious, but still had to ask :smile:

Yeah I used to eat dried cubes only, because of the taste. In the end (didn't have kids back then so tripped a lot more) I ate like 10 grams and the wife 6.

Then I decided, after a discussion much like the above, to try fresh again and ate 60 grams straight from the tub. As a tryout. That was a really crazy night. Went to the river for a swim, couldn't find the way back home. Was scared shitless by an animal that escaped from a meadow. It was obviously going to attack me. Stiod there frozen for what felt like hours. Found out it was a piece of plastic dangling from the barbed wire.
Ever since I prefer fresh. With WLs it's especially obvious: 25 grams of fresh cyans can floor me, while my dried dose is more like 3 or 4 grams.

Ok, gave this more thought and am here to correct my math. I don't math so good, so if this is still incorrect, please correct me.

If 10g wet becomes 1g dry
And 4g wet = 1g dry effect
Then 40g wet can become either 4g dry or 10g (dry effect as tea)
150% losses?
Like I said, I rarely dry them now.

I think that’s 60% loss, according to your math, rather than 150% ?

Looks good. Looks like possible condensation and maybe some pins pushing through or metabolites. I've got jars that look like that all the time..

I was really worried in the beginning now I just birtb them and rinse them off and they're usually good

If you go become a supporter to the website you can upload unlimited pictures. It's like $25 for a year. I would look into that it really helps support the website and you never have to worry about that shit again at least while you're supporting.

Anyone familiar with the Psilocybin Chef’s Cookbook?

I’m pretty skeptical of most mushroom books but since it’s more about culinary tactics rather than cultivation I was thinking of buying it. Could probably find the pdf for free I reckon.

I have a copy and it is about cooking with rather than cultivating. If you are already a cook, it doesn't have a lot of revelations. But if not, it has some good inspirations at least.

They mention dehydrating but then recommend air drying and using desiccant which didn't impress me much. So take that for what it is worth.

no, it does not look good. it looks heavily bacterial.
which doesnt mean that you cant get mushrooms from such spawn.
but its definitely not looking good.

Thanks Rev, that’s definitely the sort of thing that makes me question accuracy, but if it really revolves around cooking and doesn’t make too many assertions like “heat kills potency at ____ temp” or what have you I may give it a go, or not, we’ll see :smile:

Give it a try.

Might need rehydrated via syringe.

2016 and 2017? You'd be the coolest person on this site for a day or two if you did.

Some people say that if you soak old spores in a big syringe and compress it a little with a big rubber band or a few hair ties, then send to agar, it might work. Pushes water into the spores.

That would probably give you better luck than just sending to a puck. If you really want to avoid agar, I'd do the syringe for a couple days than puck.

I saw someone trying it on here recently. Don't remember who.

I tried it on some 8 year old spores once and it did not work, but supposedly people have revived older than that with this tek:
