A new home for the Shrooms Community! All psychoactive species welcome! Discussion and Cultivation of magical fungi. No Sales Allowed.
Can we please avoid the eletism among cultivators in this community? For example, the uncle bens tek gets a lot of shit in the broader community even though it works well and has exposed tons of people to mycology. If it weren’t for uncle bens, I wouldn’t have gotten into this at all. Now I’m doing agar transfers, liquid cultures, testing different substrates and setting up to grow pans. And the beginning was frought with gatekeeping and shit talking until I found Uncle bens and /r/contamfam
We shall definitely try to avoid elitism. I personally started with uncle bens tek as well! Everyone and all their teks are welcome!
Do you know if it’s against the rules on that community to post psychedelic mushrooms? I’m a member but I didn’t want to break the rules by posting my Golden Teachers.
Good question, I have no idea to be honest
Thanks, just thought I’d ask!
Just try it 😜
Looks like that’s for the non-magical kind.
All fungi are magical ;)
The mycology community is more general in scope. Psychedelic mushrooms are not excluded, but there can be so much specialized discussion in that sub-category that is worth it having a more specialized community.
There is also the first community !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml dedicated to growing, but it is not very active.
Is wild bird seed tech welcome? I miss r/mushroomgrowers, and I’m looking to join a like community. There was a r/unclebens too, but I never went there.
Bird seed tek is more than welcome at c/shrooms
Sure, what’s wrong with bird seed tech?
Just checking since it’s an uncle Ben’s tech community.
Ah, actually, I responded thinking that you meant the /c/mycology community.
I’m not the creator/mod of the uncle_ben’s community, and the sidebar says “A community for the uncle ben’s mushroom growing technique.”, so I am actually not sure. I think it would be fine… Sorry!
I guess they grow the same, but as always, good luck with this community!
