Lc requires very little oxygen so the chance of you starving a wedge in lc is incredibly low.

Anyone new taking that advice, read up on Wood Lover Paralysis first.
https://psychedelicreview.com/wood-lover-paralysis-unsolved-mystery/

Whenever I mention this, someone gets mad, like I'm insulting their religion. But it is a real thing that happens occasionally. It's why I don't grow / eat woodlovers.

My Psilo Cyan plates on charcoal agar I threw away un-grown after I read about Wood Lover Paralysis.



Be careful of oysters because they'll make you sick as well...
We're on a mushroom cultivation site, not sure why you're fear mongering like this.

Noob 1st Time Agar Question. Why and when do we wrap petri dishes?
My process is to prepare the agar and pour it into a 500ml media bottle, and then sterilize the agar and 15 glass petri dishes in a Presto 23 qt PC. After the PC cools, move the sterile petri dishes and agar to an SAB and pour the plates. I plan on using clear plastic kitchen wrap and cutting the roll into 1"-2" wide rolls, same as I've seen done by others here.

You would wrap the plates when the agar cools or you will get too much condensation.

You wrap them to keep them together and to keep contams out. I keep them in my SAB in stacks of 10 after I pour. After they cool I wrap them until I need them to inoculate . I will wrap them in stacks of 10 with cling wrap, and cut off what I need when I need them leaving behind wrapped left over plates. After I inoculate the plates I wrap them with cling wrap individually. I’ve made close to 200 plates the last couple of months and I’ve only had two plates get contaminated after pouring and before inoculation.

It does seem weird that people would say it doesn't happen. That's where the "religion" part comes in. haha.

Wood Lover Paralysis is too widely reported to not be real.

If it happens, say, once in 200 times, most people will never see it. But I'm not going to risk a small percent chance of being paralyzed while tripping when dung-lovers like cubes are even easier to grow and can be grown on grain (which is just undigested dung)

I read the state of Oregon's Department of Agriculture guidelines for shroom growers license and they do not permit woodlovers for state-approved therapeutic use. 

A lot of people reporting woodlovers paralysis have fine trips with woodlovers for years, then have a paralysis trip.

I don't want to take an antihistamine before tripping. Antihistamines make you sleepy and I think that will negativity affect a trip.

Gnats in one of my tubs. Bad flush in comparison, shrooms smell a bit musky, seem to abort. That's all normal for gnats?

What's the plant that is good to have nearby again? Also, anything I can do to try to salvage the tub? Outside only? Just toss it?

Or maybe people say it doesn't happen because they have never experienced it, because it's not common. Not sure how that makes it a religion, fyi HPPD can be caused by cubensis. Personally short term paralysis seems much better then a lifetime of hallucinations from HPPD.

And the Oregon department of agriculture only permits cubensis because that is how the law is written not because of wood lovers paralysis or any other reason.

We have open discussions around strychnine in parts of this forum, really not sure why there's a need to create fear around wood lovers.

Brugmansia, datura,  henbane, etc. are also taken recreationally by many of us and they have very real life risks.

Howdy, wondering if this is contamination on both of these jars. First grow, almost all of my jars are good except these 2.



In order to reuse the jars, is the right move to PC these to kill the mold, empty them, scrub well and proceed as normal? Thanks!

It'll get hair in its pits and its voice will crack.

Other than that it's usually ready to spawn when it is fully colonized.

We don't use pressure cookers to sterilize grain, we use pressure canners.  Assuming the process has been done correctly, the jars can wait for months.

I still firmly maintain that WLP is complete fiction.  I have taken loads of Wl over the years and never experienced it, and the dozens of people I have given them to have not experienced it.  The one time I had a buddy crying about not being able to move I just picked him up to his feet and we both laughed as we walked away.  It's all in your head because drugs.
