I made gummies. And lots of them are not so potent. Or at least when I calculate the amount of grams that they about should contain, seems to be less potent then when consumed raw dried.

The 3×0.33 grams in 3 gummies, are not so potent as 1 gram dry.

Is this normal? Or did I kill the active somehow?

What I do is that I add water and fresh mushrooms together, boil for 15 mins or so,  strain, and let evaporate. Then I add gelatine. Puor in mold, put in vaccuum bag and store in freezer.

What’s this YouTube channel I hear about Beef? What’s a good search term to find it?

Nm found it. I subscribed to a channel with zero content. That’s either high praise or I’m just high.

Rev haa a post covering his experiments on tea extraction. IIRC 1st decoction is 60% of actives, 2nd is 80%ish, and 3rd gets you somewhere in the 90s. He also recommends 20ml of water per dry gram

My shit is as less put together than your shit. I’ll start a post this weekend after I put a few initial plans together for a straw man.

So how long after you built your PC was it before you found out you needed to close the pressure release valve?


Yes, I home built my All American 941 PC... DUH


This is agar, still warm, not LC. Do I need to do something different to avoid sediment? Or is it ok to pour plates with it as is?


the ingredients i use no matter what kind of water, forms sediment. if i let the psi get too high or cook for longer i notice more sediment.

the only way i found to get it cyrstal clear everytime is to pre-boil it on the stove then pour it thru a polyfill filter. but as i said in the other thread, yes its fine as is.

edit: i use agar / malt syrup. no peptides. not sure if thatd make a difference for the filter tek

When injecting LC into WBS jars, one shouldn't be picking them up and inspecting them daily, right? I try my best to not let it roll around inside the jar.

you know, i used to get this same shit.  same recipe i always used.  stipe and everyone gave me advice and different methods and the thing that fixed it was,

i moved.  i think its the water. chelation. perhaps high levels of mag or potassium, or calcium.  most municipal sources put it in the water for a variety of reasons, namely corrosion control.

who knows what the difference is now but it went away.

recon you could try using distilled water? id be interested to see if that helps.  if it does, id say we have our answer. it not, fuck i dont know.  never could figure it out.


Good idea Beef. I will try distilled next time. We do have a lot of minerals in our water here. It's all rainwater coming off the mountains (we get an average of about 200 inches a year) into the reservoir and then goes through a treatment plant which probably adds more stuff to it.


I have no idea why, but when I made agar yesterday using the same LME and agar I've used 3 times previously, the same bottles, the same process, but used distilled water instead of tap -- i got sediment.  A fair amount of it.  The LME clearly didn't fully dissolve. That's including a pre-boil in the microwave (I know it's not strictly necessary), a hard shake after the pre-boil, and then a 45m cycle.

Every other time I've used tap water and it's been fine, but I had a bottle of distilled and said "why not?". Feels like I'm getting trolled?!

The sediment is completely fine it doesn't effect anything, I often grind wheat in a coffee grinder for agar and it's always there

I check my stuff sometimes multiple times daily. I still have that beginner excitement. Always looking for the first growth.

This looks a little baccy to me so far. Could just be starch making your fluid cloudy, but keep an eye on it

I do the same with rye (or whatever grain I have on hand).  The only thing sediment does IME is make for funky looking pics lol.  Otherwise I'll use grain water.

When I make gummies I always go heavy. You really need to dial your extraction down or you can fuck them up.

My candy mould makes 100 gummies. I’ll throw like 35 grams In there and they are perfect.

Until you start nailing the extraction it’s pointless to try and calculate anything. Really, without a miralux test it’s a crap shoot.

OK Beef, the test is running. 2 plates from the spore syringe with just a few drops dribbled in the middle of the plate, and 2 plates from the print. I used a fresh (and freshly flamed) loop to just scrape the print held above the plate, and then on the second print plate also stuck the loop into the center of the plate for good measure. 

The extra TW spore syringe plate in the center is because as I was dribbling out of the syringe a giant clump of spores shot out and soaked the plate. Figured I'd let that one run too.

Picked a nice fat dense PE from my last grow, took it into the SAB, split it open and did a few transfers to agar. Then I took the best looking one of those and transferred it again to these four plates. Sterilized scalpel in-between and all that jazz.. All my PE transfers look like this... (The previous one as well, not pictured). Aaaaand from the original liquid culture. Shouldn't this be a single specimen and growing out evenly? Looks like mycelium trying to escape... What's up? Thanks y'all.

I would just grab transfers from around 3 o'clock on each of the two plates on the right.
