vanilla flavored shrooms :laugh: (i wish)
i have no real experience with this (using honey in baby bottle as experiment now)
i dont know that it would hurt, give it a try with 1cc of spore solution and find out if you have the spores to spare and let us know :grin:

That's exactly what I use. I think that's the only way Karo comes. You're OK :thumbup:

Karo comes in light and dark versions. I love the dark for cornbread. Anyway, the dark has a higher percentage of glucose, less fructose, more nutes, and no vanilla. But it makes it more difficult to differentiate contams from mycelium, and to see when you've caramelized it by sterilizing too long. Light Karo works great by itself, for me. I use well water with many minerals in it, though, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it with distilled water. The vanilla contributes nutes, in fact, hotnutz uses pure vanilla extract by itself in LCs.

Cool.... I didn't think I saw any other types of the Karo, but then again I could have been day dreaming or something when I bought it...

I just ran across a little blurb about vanilla that I haven't been able to confirm, but is very interesting (to me, at least). The seeds of the orchid, Vanilla planifolia, aren't viable by themselves without the help of a symbiotic mushroom that somehow aids in germination. Vanilla, btw, comes from the Latin word for vagina. I think we can understand from this photo of a vanilla flower, and of course, with help from Gerald Scarfe's flower animation in the Floyd's Berlin Wall video.


So, it is not without irony that vanilla returns the favor for shrooms.
