Bird seed tek is more than welcome at c/shrooms

We shall definitely try to avoid elitism. I personally started with uncle bens tek as well! Everyone and all their teks are welcome!

Unfortunately our community at lemmy.world was removed by the admins, but we have found a new home sh.itjust.works, and the understanding admins here have assured me that this is a safe home for us!

If you enjoyed the old Shrooms community, we would love to have you join us at the new Shrooms! Feel free to repost any content that was lost!

Doesn’t even need to be resized, just optimize it for web.

I’d recommend trying any methods that don’t require a pressure cooker. Your best bet is uncle ben’s or broke boy tek.

This is a good place to start.

If you followed proper sterile procedures, used a SAB, and if you got the MSS from a reputable source, it’s not uncommon. Congrats! Great start! I always wait for the mycelium to colonize the top of the agar before making transfers

I love albinos! Beautiful!

We’ll see in a week!

Look at the size of those! What’s your substrate mix?

Hmm, very interesting! I might have to make a batch and try it out!

This is a beautiful tub! Very nice flush!

Uncle Ben Tek imo, some people dislike it, but it’s the easiest and cheapest way to start without a pressure cooker. Check out the link to 90 second mycology in the sidebar.

Oh, you’re talking about senescence. New growers are always concerned with it. G2G transfers are generally good to do about 3-4 times, could be more depending on the genetics and the quantity of grain spawn.

This one is my second G2G, it should still fruit nicely, but next generation I’ll probably start from spores again.

It is! I’m definitely gonna clone those golden caps and I’ll clone that one in the upper left just for you 😜

It was actually a grain to grain transfer but yeah you’re correct, I started with mycelium and not spores.

Sounds like you’re just getting to the exciting part! Share some pictures if you can, I’d love to see!

I’m completely in favour of including all mushrooms of psychedelic nature

Uncle Ben’s Tek is more than welcome here! Would love to see some progress photos! :)

Yep! Corn kernels make great grain spawn.

Thanks! These guys are from a Choda MSS, nice to see such aggressive rhizo! You can see a few primordia too, so hopefully we’ll see fruits soon!
