She's talking about inoculating a jar though.

@ Kloakk

is that a Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD I see ???????

That's some good eyes you have there

---

No fucking shit dude!  the best eyes ever in fact. I kind of figured y'all were talking about that blurry thing in the back of it but didn't know until I looked it up. The fact that  dude saw that and named it is insane.


Otherwise. I was like is he talking about his scalpel handle?

scalpel handle.... LOL and there's no way. I mean that would have been silly right?

You realize you're bringing up an "alcohol" redirect (twice) that has no bearing on ingesting Fly Agaric Mushrooms right. Newsflash, one drink won't kill you, one mushroom CAN and has to unsuspecting people that thought they knew what they were doing. Most of us are cultivators ROUND these parts, foraging is not even in the same realm. BE safe, and let someone know if you ingest them, better to be safe than sorry.

But it does because we're talking about how dangerous it can be so I have to compare it with something else which is common enough for most people to relate to. How would I weigh the risk of it otherwise? And yes ofc a mushroom can kill you if you eat the wrong one but I'm not very worried over misidentifying them since I've foraged Amanita Muscaria which is easy to identify even amongst other Amanitas.

Anyways thanks for the consideration man I appreciate it

I have an acquaintance in Poland who over the last few years has become a huge fan of Amanita... And supposedly, they give it to people with the idea of fighting depression (in microdoses). I know they process it through a more elaborate method than just drying it — I could ask, but you'll probably find the answer before I even get a reply.

Regarding fighting depression — it seems absurd to me. Muscimol acts on GABA, just like alcohol and anxiolytics... So you aren't addressing the root cause either. And if you have a history of alcoholism, depressants aren't the best option IMO.

I'm not looking for a depression treatment or a replacement for the alcohol, I just wanna try new stuff tbh and this stuff seems pretty cool so I wanna know what it's about.

so i received some new petri dishes a while ago and unpacked them today. i was sent 55mm instead of the 90mm i thought i ordered. The parafilm i use is enough to cover the 90mm plates around 1.5 times ish.

I'm wondering if i should cut the parafilm in two for the new plates, or use the whole length? i'm gussing it'll go around about 3 times on the 55mm plates.

My question is this:
how many layers of parafilm do i really need?

So I started very recently trying to grow Shrooms. As a total newbie I've made two fatal mistakes after reading a lot.

Mistake 1 - Started spores vial  inoculating to grain. (Most of them contaminated, but I have a rye bag like 60%, no weird smells, so I might get lucky, we'll see)
Mistake 2 - As mistake 1 wasn't dumb enough, I've created a LC from the spores.

So now I'm trying to the process correctly, starting from agar (sorry for the condensation pictures, still have to refine when to pour it).

And arrived at these 3 Petri dishes:

1 (For me the one that looks more promising):



2



3 (started on a small jar, no pour tek, transferred to here [from the LC I've made])



My question is, is any of these "usable"/"good to transfer"?

One cup of millet in a qt jar for no prep isnt very much.

Anyone done more? 

@Churp?

10cm wide, says parafilm "m" on it. i've cut it into 2-3cm wide strips and wrapped away. I've had to find a sweetspot between ripping it and not stretching it enough to go around the 90mm

---

Oh so the double one, yeah I don't have that, can't help.

@callmehippie: 1 1/3 cup millet is the upper limit if you want room for g2g or shaking.
