The spores are legal to buy online for study.
Completely unrelated, but used coffee grounds make for a decent mushroom grow medium.
Like if you wanted to grow some button mushrooms.
Eh, coffee grounds aren't a great medium for most mushrooms, they're a cheap one that requires more sterilization than most home growers can do (I've tried them plenty before,they almost always lead to some trich). The traditional method is to use rye, but honestly brown rice flour teks are generally the best from my experience for various types of mushrooms.
Never ceases to amaze me.
Ask someone a question, and you get an answer like "I'm not google". But if you state incorrect information, they will respond with the answer you were seeking to begin with.
That's a mentality you'd only find on Earth. Not like those other planets, like Mars, and Venus, and Pluto, and the sun. You don't find this behavior on those planets!
so torn between "you're right, you don't" and "well actually the mars rovers all use a redundant hardware and consensus algorithms for error correction so..."
you've successfully disabled my terminal knowitallism!
Great! Now I'm charging you an invoice for $600k, unless you have insurance. Because in this country, we don't treat mental health seriously, until we need to TREAT mental health. Then it's serious business, which costs a lot of money!
star spangled banner plays in the background
okay, but i will only pay $120 because that's when my country's "high cost protection" will kick in and the state will foot the rest of the bill.
That's because no people live on these planets
Pssshhhh!!!!! That's conspiracy talk! Men are from Mars, women are from Venis. One's got a yum-yum, the other's got a penis!
Don't you watch Bobs Burgers? Because if not......you should. It's a really good show....
Uncle Ben's Tek ftw
Uncles bens aren't bad for the low cost of entry, but brf teks are my preferred because I've had the most success with them. Either way, those are pretty easy search terms.
pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.
I really like the uncle Ben's tek theoretically.
Inject your spores or liquid culture into bags of microwavable brown rice (maybe 1cc per bag), snip the corner off and seal with micropore tape.
It's already at an appropriate moisture content and is sterile.
Then spawn to bulk as normal.
Theoretically speaking, this is how I'd do it, and I'd have a lot of success with it. Although I don't use the uncle Ben's rice, i find it's a bit too wet. Use a cheaper store brand, they're a little drier and work perfectly.

The front page is so commercially neutral, and then you have this banger in the product catalog.
I've studied quite a bit, and my findings have been... ineffable
Unless you're in California.
