I know this isn't the confessional, but I had to scrap 25-30lbs years ago of Milo (my fav grain) from a feedstore that I don't mess with anymore.  I'm a composter slash dirty maker fir life, so Outside it goes, to the ground it grows.  I mean, you could clean them thoroughly, and get some of them to jump off, but stalling jars will happen, especially subpar cereal grains.

^ no, you can absolutely trust most horse oats or bulk wheat. They need to have their hulls intact.

If it's super dusty, try using a strainer over a bucket or something to remove excess.

I feel grain prep is overlooked sometimes, a lot of my cult time is spent prepping grains and substrate

Wheat

Thats funny cause I could have sworn TC's were made after I had too much to drink and I start fiddling with buttons.

Looking at putting my first spore print on glass and framing it.

However I can only find acrylic on amazon.

Anyone done this before and have any yes or no's to using acrylic instead of glass?

So.... how do I find good grains? can wheat and rye do this, too? I can get wheat from my local grocer but the same local guy who I got my oats from for cheap also does wheat and stuff. Am I not to trust it?

I was looking into this some time ago and haven't actually done it, but what I found was that finding a fram you like with glass should be easy, then print on white paper and use fixative spray to preserve the print.

Hey thats a good idea!

I got some of these





I wanted to be able to hold it up to light and see through it all the way. But a picture frame is much more sentimental and I would be able to hang it.... AAHHH I should try both I guess lol.

There seems to be a fixative spray for glass, so it might work, acrylic will get scratches real fast though, I like the idea of doing both and find out

Edit: Because then I don't have to

LMFAO mthfkr fine! Ill figure something out and document it just for you.





My only worry with fixative spray is the spray part, if the can is too powerfull would it not blow the spores all over? Or do they cling pretty well to smooth surfaces?

Since I've never used it I'm just guessing here, but it is to preserve pencil drawings and the info I read here on the org was for preserving prints.

And dude, what do you mean too powerful? Do you mist your tubs like 1cm from the surface, just back up that fine trunk of yours or spray above it or some shit, figure it out and hit me back

Trunk backed up 🫡

Ill gather the stuff and get back to you once I ha e something worth showing and sharing I ha e ideas now so thanks for this!!!

Wonder if laying some sort of super thin vellum paper over top of the print, and then hitting it with fixative would work? Would probably mute the print a bit, but would probably be better for longevity. I'm sure people have probably figured this out with non-active mushroom prints before and probably have write-ups you could find with an internet search. Or just fuckin send it!
