Woah. That'd be awesome! There's gotta be some type of fungi capable of that. I also think about how dumping cakes might affect the native mycelium and plants already out there.

You have to watch absurd planet on Netflix! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I end up putting that on almost Everytime I trip. All about animals with hilarious commentary

That's a great idea as I already make tea alot. Do you dehydrate them first or does it matter?

Everytime I throw anything in the trashQuestion

The little bits of mushroom I cut off the bottom while I'm cleaning after harvesting, spent cakes, anything mushy related... I always wonder if I'm making mushrooms grow all over the dump. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I live in a rental in the middle of town so I don't compost or bury stuff, just end up throwing that stuff out. Hide the evidence* lol

But watching the mycelium completely take over EVERYTHING so fast after experiencing my first grow. I can't even imagine how much it could be wildin out in all that open space out there. Would a trash dump be proper conditions for the mushrooms? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Another semi related question... I have some substrate sitting in a bucket from my last round of tubs. There's not even enough for a cake, so I need to make more. Can I just make the new CVG mixed in the same bucket with the substrate that's been sitting for a few weeks? Or should I start in a new bucket? Does it make a difference

Something that's interesting is when I sobered up the next day, I listened to them some more. Someone had made a video of visualizations to the are you sphongled playlist... And it really tripped me out to see that what they visualized was soooooo similar to what I saw when I had my eyes closed listening to it.

Sphongle absolutely BLEW my mind the first I heard them after taking LSD. It still is my favorite ever trip and all I did was lay in my bed with my eyes closed and the lights off listening to them.

Harvesting my StargazersPsychedelic Community

Hey guys! I'm kind of nervous to post this, but just thought I'd share this video with you guys I made while harvesting my very first tub! I plan on documenting a lot of my mushy growing journey just because it's been bringing me so much joy. All the amateur mycologists I've met online/talked to with have been so helpful, pleasant, and kind! I really love this whole community. Check it out if you have a minute :) feedback welcomed, I'm by no means a master at editing or mushroom cultivation.... Yet :)

Congratulations!!! Such an awesome feeling

I flipped the lid once I started fruiting conditions. It was closed and latched the whole time until then.

I put 2 quart jars in the tub and mixed in CVG till it was about 3 inches deep. I added a little bit of CVG on top just to cover the surface when I made my tub.

Thanks for asking! I made my own grain jars and followed PGT's broke boi tek. Unmodified shoebox. I started fruiting after the surface was fully colonized. I did fan a few times a day after that. Didn't have to mist. Stargazers from LC. :) got another batch of jars colonizing too from grain to grain!

I hope so too! โค๏ธ๐Ÿคž

Thank you seriously so much everyone! I'm so shocked I actually accomplished this. Sooo happy, I can't wait to harvest the rest of the tubs! I'll update when everything's done. Found such a fun hobby, bringing me so much joy- I love talking about and spending time doing now!

If that's the best way to do it, I'll go ahead and start dehydrating tonight. Sooo many are so close though, like I may have to harvest a majority of not all tomorrow and fridat. So I thought waiting may be best. But thanks for the input I'll just start tonight. Btw- love your username lol

Also adding- the biggest ones name is Harold I'm eating him first ๐Ÿ˜‚ and my very first mushroom pin that popped up

Super interesting, I'll be keeping an eye out for an update on the future about your experiment. That's one of the things I've been wanting to look into- mixing LCs and creating new strains, how all that works. I want to start agar work next! But my list of mushy supplies I want is forever growing lol. Good luck to you too with all your endeavors!

I'm growing stargazers as my first grow. They've been easy for me as a beginner. I have some lions mane jars colonizing too. Wanna try out some kind of albino next time. Are you growing any different kinds or just more GT for now?

I wanted to share my very first grow so far, stargazers. I am learning first hand how fast mushys grow. Once pins formed, feels like they double in size everyday. It's been amazing to watch :) also super proud of myself for getting this far. I have 12 more jars colonizing. Including some lions mane, excited to dabble into gourmet too
