Listen. The following is just my opinion. But if you need mdma with your Cyanescens I can only conclude that you do not take nearly enough mushrooms.

Mushrooms alone, cyans/allenii specifically, are the only thing that's ever brought me into an ecstatic state of bliss (MDMA gets me blissed out no doubt, but different than the "state" of such that mushrooms can catalyze for me)....

...I absolutely looove MDMA with mushrooms though , it is my favorite combination of two substances. MDMA also makes me want to gobble down stupid amounts of mushrooms lol.





Not to go way off topic but I figure this thread is where most of the woodlover eaters are on the forums here...Have any of you ate Pan cyans, or TTBVI specifically, I'm curious how they compare to woodlovers in regard to potency or overall vibe/character?

but when i ate 3.6g of dried ovoids (NJ ovoids from nichrome) I expected to be out of this world, but really was in a delirious, inebriated state with bad coordination/balance, with basically no visuals and hillarious uncontrollable laughter

---

I was reading through trip reports the other day and it kind seems like ovoids are hit or miss, some reports indicate strong visuals, and others(the majority) indicate light to no visuals.

Personally I think it has something to do with the climate that the mushroom grow in, and in what time of year they sprout.

Do you remember of that 3.6g were picked earlier or later in the season.

If they were home grown then ignore everything I just said

The original spores were gifted to me and were collected from wild found ovoids in a park in Atlantic City NJ USA.  These are east coast native genetics. I find them to be unique to other ovoids in that they like to fruit in the early heat of erly summer/late spring. I have not seen any fall flushes with these. They seem to like to eat just about everything and will colonize even very large pieces of wood as well as large areas of space. The spores are more rusty than a lot of other ovoids as well.

Hey guys, I HATE creating these type of posts but I've been out of the game for a while and I'm looking for resources to get started again (life got in the way and I'm trying to find some joy by growing again). Is there's an updated woodlovers tek I could follow? And which species is the most forgiving to grow? Thank you!

I make jars with some hard red wheat berries and wood chips used for smoking meats (alder, apple, pecan) and pc them for 120mins.

I inoculate the jars with either spores or LC. I made my Azure bed many years ago using a spore syringe made from a field collected print.

The grains are only used for a starting point for the spores/LC to start colonizing. Once that happens the mycelium quickly jumps to the wood.

Here's some jars of Subaeruginosa I made from LC.



The LC was made by selectively choosing some growth from an agar germination plate. From what I'm seeing in these jars, the LC is clean.

That said, I did take the agar germ plate, cut in half, and throw them into 2 jars with wood chips and wheat berries. Once jar grew out just fine, the other got these contams.



The nice thing about wood lovers is that trich and other contams usually don't grow well or fast on wood. Here's what the top of the jar looked like.



I took the jar outside, did some selective surgery with a spoon and spray bottle with water and bleach. I ended up with about half pint of good looking white spawn.

I took that spawn and mixed it up with some Scott's mulch and alder chips. Here it is 2 weeks later.



I'll let this shoebox tub grow out and add it to some more wood in a larger container and use it to start a bed. I'll take the jars that are still colonizing and use them to make more spawn for beds.
