your right, they did, but its not linked to in the cult forum, and is missing alot of the ABBREVIATIONS. thats what this is titled; not what complex words mean.

indeed, i've just flipped through the glossaries and while they do have some abbreviations there are many missing. so perhaps you should ask to contribute your list to the glossary.

Here's a couple that I see people asking a lot. Thier not actually abbreviations rather more like myco slang but it seems to confuse people nonetheless.

knock up = inoculate
martha = mini greenhouse (martha stewart brand or other storage closet)

That's why I try to stay away from the slang. It only confuses people. Inoculate is not that hard to type, hehe. :smile:

This is Psylocybe Fanaticus , not professor

People, read the glossary first then come up with "new" suggestions....

I love it. While it may confuse some (a few) new people, I think it is a great slang term for squirting liquids into a closed container. Of course you would probably have to use other slang in your everyday vocab to appreciate what I'm saying, but Anno you don't strike me as someone who would.....;)
