Congrats, Antares! 🥳 We need more females doing the damn thing in here!

Here's you a silver medal because the gold one only goes to whoever wins NOTY. 🥈 On the bright side, at least it's not bronze! 😜

I already briefly messaged Beef in private about this and thanking him, but I really don't think I can give enough thanks for this! Thank you so much for the kind words! This really means a lot to me, everything everyone's said and all of the help I've received. Thank you so much for nominating me! I admit, this post did make me tear up, life has been difficult for a while, and I wasn't expecting such kind words.

I really miss cultivating, and have trying to get back into it. Somehow, most of my petris are still alive, so maybe I can squeeze out some motivation here, soon. My mental health hasn't been great, and my physical health has unfortunately followed. I've been sick for over two years, and I took a "last resort" medication that ended up giving me some of the worst side effects it has to offer. I'm slowly getting better and fighting through it, and I think I'm gonna take some energy I get to clean up and reorganize my cultivation room.

I'm honestly convinced part of my issue is, at this point, with me just not tripping for some time. A big reason I got into this hobby was how much mushies helped my mental health. It felt like night and day, it was unreal. After the first time I tripped, I felt like a whole different person for the next month. My depression felt nearly nonexistent, I was happier, I followed through with more goals, I was able to socialize easier and just enjoy life. I've tried so many different medications for years, and this has genuinely been the only success I've had. It's a bit hard for me to admit this because it feels sappy, but I feel like it's important for me to get out there.

I've had the supplies sitting, waiting to be prepped and used. I've been needing to make more tubs and jar lids. I have my grain ready and waiting to be used (hopefully none of my brethren took it over, lol). I don't remember if I posted it here, but my house had an unfortunate run in with some fungus gnats, and I had to toss a lot of grows.

I especially want to get back into my ochra project. A big goal I had for that originally was to get a phenotype stable enough so that I felt confident sending it off to more people. I still really want to accomplish that goal. Everyone's been so kind on here, and I really want to return that. (those petris are still alive and clean, thankfully)

I really miss everyone! Everyone here made cultivating a lot more fun and rewarding. There's a wealth of knowledge here that really can't be found or replicated anywhere else. Everyone I've talked to has been so helpful and friendly. It took me a lot of anxiety fighting to get out of my shell to post on here to begin with, but I'm really glad I was able to share my projects! I can't wait to get back into posting things and interacting with everyone again.

Thank you all again for the nomination. I think everything I grew would be trich'd out if I didn't come here. I've had a lot of success, and I don't think I could have done it without all of the help on here. Thank you all so much for the kind words and messages! Mush love!!

Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, I was able to find a picture. Here's how I dried that massive thing, lol. Yes, I did dry it whole. No, it wasn't a good idea. Would I do it again? Absolutely. It took at least two or three days (if my memory serves me right). I honestly just thought it was hilarious to do it this way. These ones are on the top of my list to grow again, along with the ochras.

I resonate with health issues getting in the way of cult; I'm going through some of that myself. It's frustrating. Hopefully you can incorporate it back into your life in a way that doesn't add unnecessary stress :hug:

Congrats weev!!!!!!!

That 500g diety is truly a sight to behold. I aspire to one day hit those numbers but, whew.... big shoes.

Deeply relate to the health struggles and being at the whim of the tides a bit. Making hay while the sun shines.

Always glad to have you around, no rule says you gotta be culting to post. Fungi are older than humans, they'll still be there.

Anyway, well done. Keep on rockin

Congrats, Antares!

Even though I haven't had the chance to cross paths with you on the forum yet, both from your "wall of text" (which I genuinely appreciate) and the peers' decision — I know it's more than well-deserved.

I hope and wish the winds blow in your favor through these waters of uncertainty. Because rough patches have an expiration date too. And that you get to calmly enjoy growing, or whatever you set your mind to.



Stay strong, and count on us for whatever is within our reach.

Big hug :heart:

ALL UNITS BE ADVISED: The council has made a grievous oversight and are now taking full accountability for our mistake.


Really its my mistake.  I can't blame anyone but myself because the mistake was made well before I even had a council to help with this thing. In 2024 someone was missed and I only realized it last night. I could have SWORN I did this guy, and I literally used CTRL+F to search for the name on the roster.  My heart sank when the search did not retrieve the name I was looking for, so today its full stop. This is a very very special occasion and it couldn't have come at a better time. Today is afterall, his SHROOMIVERSARY AS WELL!!!! I'll try to keep this short enough for the tldr crowd, but I do have a lot to say.

All rise for

On this very day, in 2023 our community won the lottery because Mack registered an account. Almost a full month later, he made his first post. and had a very pleasant interaction with one of my favorite members, Way. Had bit of a q & a about condensation that I am sorry I missed, but seems like ol' san pedro got em sorted. I still struggle with raining lids and pray each morning that some noob will invent the rainless lid. I digress. Dude was just so polite and easy going. Had himself a failed tub and took in stride and moved right along.

I had a lot of fun digging through his old posts writing this. I found some little exchanges with some other beloved members of the community like this one here with HBO *sniff*. God I miss HBO.

I done found the day he got his first dry zip of medicine. Hell yeah. I remember mine too. Life-changing sequence of events and me and everyone around me was better for it. I just know Mack did a lot of good with that zip.

Ready for "all that mushy stuff"?
I thought about posting the whole thing here, but I honestly think everyone should read this trip report of Mack's. Dude I've had almost that very same trip, many times over. As someone with aging and declining parents, this hit close to home for me. Way too close. Hopefully Macks open to some private dialog about this at some point, but dudes, this is one of the most honest and surreal trip reports i've ever read. Thats hard work. Emotional heavy lifting. I wish most people would have the balls to do this kind of work. God damn, Mack. Thank you for sharing that. Jesus.

Literally had to take a break from writing this post at this point to call my dad after reading Macks post. Big ouch. I got my old guy a DMT cart a while back. Still hasn't got a battery for it. Hoping it helps. Talked a good long while. Talked about plants for an hour. Not too much time left with him. I used to get annoyed at how he can ramble about various desert hopsages and saltbrushes for hours but I know in my heart that one day I'd pay everything I had for just one more plant talk. Thanks, Mack, for reminding me that.

A cursory overview of Macks posts and comments doesn't neatly paint the portrait of someone who is an obviously complicated and uncommonly kind human being, but the thing that breaks my heart is that this guy has shown up to celebrate every single 81 NOTM's, both NOTY's and never said a word to me about it. Damn me. How could I have botched this so bad?

These connections are everything. The medicine. The community. This IS our church. The testimonies that remind us all to be a little kinder, more compassionate, more forgiving, less quick to anger. Help ever, hurt never. Mack embodies the essence of our community everywhere he goes, with every person he meets and helps. We are beyond lucky to have him here with us.

Bud, I apologize personally for my oversight. I swear to god, I thought I did you around the same time I did ol' Headass. Please forgive me. You are the noob of the moment, sir, and have been for quite some time. Thank you for everything, and Happy Shroomiversary.

Now for the fun part.

My man Mack, dude what can I say. You've been nothing but a good vibe around here and with time you've become a good friend as well.

I'm really happy we got to do this even though you're not a noob anymore, hush, just let me finish brother.

See the thing is you are always cultivating even if it is just expanding mycelium on plates from time to time, you're always around handing out good advice, taking part in helping the newcomers feel welcome, congratulating everyone in this very thread and as I said, bringing that good vibe all around these halls.

So here's to you my friend and to many more beer and music sessions going forward.

Hey Mack, you've been an integral part of my Shroomery experience from the very beginning. Love your style. Always funny and encouraging. Always humble and laid back.

I honesty thought you'd be in the first NOTM (NOTW) batch, before me. But it turned out you just slipped the net here somehow. Enjoy man, on your versary too, what a fucking day.
