I'm also getting confused about which threads to read. I click one that says something like start here, it has about 6 links at the top. I click the first one, and that page has another 6-10 links. I click the first one, then that page has another 6 links. They often link back to previous pages creating circular loops.

Is there a consolidated page anywhere that walks through the full process concisely?

Here is the glossary. A lot of these should be in there but if they’re not don’t be afraid to ask.

To add to that

Best place to start for sure is beefs hitchhikers guide. Crammed with knowledge and presented in a very readable and enjoyable way.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28501530

Hope that helps. If you need help with specifics on anything there's likely a write up explaining in detail or just ask again. Generally helpful people here as long as you listen and don't act an ass

Can anyone help me identify the light, branching growth radiating out from the edges of the coverslip?  Is this bacterial growth?

Got it 😹 this does function, okay one last one please anyone.

Eating stone producer species fresh, are they jam packed with fiber?
After eating them I get a guarantee to have to drop butt ticket (go use the bathroom)
Is that normal? :lol:

Looking around at some slime mold pictures, I am seeing some of that growth pattern.  You might have nailed it in one. Thanks!

The glossary was already linked, but i found it in the consolidated page you mentioned. The problem with things like that is new stuff gets published all the time. Here is Bod's cultivation library

A little unsure of what's going on with my tubs, and if it is normal...




The first tub started showing pins about a week ago, this is it today. The mushrooms are pretty small, under 1 inch. Wondering if I could be doing something to stunt their growth? Maybe not enough fresh air exchange? Otherwise they look pretty good.

The second tub colonized faster than the first but still no pins! It has been fully colonized for around 8-10 days.



Also wondering about the drops of water on the surface, is that normal?

TEK = any technical "how to" guide

SAB = still air box

BRF = brown rice flour

PF = psilocybe fanaticus (user name of a pioneer in the community who wrote a guide for growing on BRF.)

LC = liquid culture (sterilized nutrient broth)

LI =liquid inoculant (usually agar blended into sterile water)

SGFC = shotgun fruiting chamber (big box with lots of holes and wet material in the bottom intended to maintain high humidity)

FAE = fresh air exchange

Here's a couple more.

GE = gass exchange

FFU = fan filter unit

LFH = laminar flow hood

Water tub = similar to SGFC with less mess.

I thought SHFC was shotgun fruiting chamber.

I would have guessed that SSFC was soft sided fruiting chamber.

But I could be wrong.

Hey party peeps, yall see that green there right? Thought this tub was doing okay but it's less than I'd like. It's got a bunch of knotting though and even a tiny pin...



So my question, do I let it ride as is and see what I get or do I try to extract the green and surrounding area?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but once ol’ green is visible, it’s too late.  I’d let it ride to be sure, hell, it may still fruit
