Psychoactive Mushrooms & Cacti Discussion

[Stoned Ape]

That last inoculation was a dud. I think 4 in a row. So what the hell made more spore syringes and had another crack. Found out the hard way Iso fumes and naked flame don't go well together. Still got my eyebrows and the nazi wife in the other room didn't notice. But..

Ditch the nazi wife.

Brf cakes. Grain spawn. And agar. I kept the contaminated agar just because I like to watch the battle.

the brf cake isn't the plastic container is contaminated

Others looking good

I am looking at hepa filters and flow hoods online. And every time there's a decent rain I get keen to go looking for different types of fungus. I think I have reached the point of no return lol

Some positive action. Birthed 4 nice looking cakes. And an experiment. Covered mycillium on agar with clean coco/straw mix. Put it in a chamber made from old take away containers. Finally I see an actual mushroom.

Having a try at monotub. In a mix of coco and straw. Seems to be going ok so far. @JohnnieJC3 should I put another layer of coco on top or just leave it alone.

Bought this at a local nursery. Was hoping it psychoactive. Anyone out there good with cactus identification. It had no Latin name but looks promising.

@Stoned Ape That looks like a baby Saguaro, Carnegiea Gigantea. Not known for having any psychoactive alkaloids but will start developing white flowers in 30-60 years when it reaches 7 feet or so. Very slow growing, 1 to 1.5 inches a year.

Now I have a question for Cubensis farmers. Does anyone know if you can inoculate BRF cakes directly with a spore syringe or do I need to start mycelium on agar in a petri dish? It's been many, many years since my first (failed) attempt at cultivation, but I did learn then that spores sprout as monokaryotic mycelium and must meet up and join with another to form dikaryotic mycelium before fruiting can occur. It would sure be a lot easier if I can skip the petri dish step.

Hi becca yes spore syringe to brf cakes is fine. The agar in my case was just bit of fun and experimenting.

I would just leave it be if its a regular cube. You could case it, but I don't find it necessary unless it's Penis Envy or a Hybrid.

 

[Stoned Ape]

Sweet. thanks Johnnie. I will leave it. The less I fiddle with things the better.

 

[JohnnieJC3]

That tub is close and looks great, a few more days(2-3) and you should be fully colonized. It's a sit back and watch situation... Enjoy the Show!

 

[Stoned Ape]

Game on

 

[JohnnieJC3]

Looks like a pretty decent Pinset... LETS GO!!

P.S Is this B+?

 

[Stoned Ape]

I started with blue meanies and pf classic I think it was called. But i took spore prints. I ended up losing track of what was what. Maybe it's some kind of cross-breed by now.

The mental health advice during lockdown. (which went way longer coz of my talent for injuries as well) was to get a hobby. Took the advice. Works really well.

Those are looking great Stoned Ape!

I'm also looking every day to see if some pins are forming.
And I wish I could dose the world right now, forget the Jab, get 7 billion breakthrough doses lined up and reset everyone and give them a tree to look after.

 

[Stoned Ape]

Fender bender it's gunna take a mighty flush to see your dream come true. But I hear ya. I like the tree idea. Hope weed counts. Make sure u do ya psilo vax orally. Some clown injected liquid culture once. The mycillium grew in his body.

 

[Stoned Ape]

tripping right now. Uv torch and cured nugs. Woah..

 

[Fenderbender]

Bon Voyage!
