    Seems business is going well and you're taking it very seriously. Good on you and hope it really takes off.

    Eh, I guess that depends on how you define success. Am I making money? Negative. I'm sure spending a lot though lol. Personally rewarding? Absolutely. I spend at least 5 hours a day 7 days a week doing something mushroom related. Usually in the lab. That's my mancave. I dissappear for hours in there. I got Cordyceps, Lions mane, blue oyster, king Oyster, Reishi ling chi, meance, apes, AA+, b+ and Malabar all going currently. Hell, I got 2 - 32qt pressure cookers sterilizing 40lbs of substrate as I type this. It's become an obsession not much different than the dogs. Yet different. I'm getting really good at claen work which will very much help me succeed financially in the long run. Hopefully anyway. If not, well, I learned a ton of cool shit and it's a money pit hobby just like the dogs. The endless supply of shrooms though isn’t exactly a bad thing either lol.

    I actually spend way more time over on the shroomery site than I do here. Been like that since April.

    Cordyceps Militaris day 34.

    We've had a nice drop in temperature this week here in the northeast which worked out perfectly for these guys. They've been slow to grow in my basement. That is the coldest place in my house at any given time but it only gets to around 68 to 70 degrees which is still too warm to friut this species. They prefer the cooler temperatures. 51 degrees outside currently and they are loving it. Almost doubled their size in the last 24 hours since I put them outdoors. A hair over halfway done fruiting. Another 30 days and they should be ready to harvest.

    Spending my Saturday night pouring Hulk green Agar plates, making clean Lions Mane Liquid Culture and transferring a potential Cordyceps iso to a few more dishes. Sterilized 9 substrate blocks and innoculated them with King Oyster grain spawn. Waiting on my Substrate to cool down to make up 2 tubs of B+ and 2 tubs of AA+. Been a productive evening.

    Wish you could grow and sell the magic shrooms, I'd come over my next day off, trip balls and talk dogs for as long as you would have me! Then I guess I'd rent a motel room, because I'd need to sober up for the drive home

    Cordyceps Militaris

    10 days away from harvesting. This was a fun species to grow. Took forever, friuts for 60 days. There's only a handful of people even growing these things in the US. It's so secretive. From making the liquid culture to growing it on Agar people try to keep it a secret for some reason. Even the substrate is completely different than other mushrooms. Brown rice soaked in a nutrient broth. Highly valuable if we can commercially grow it. I mean, I'd call this success. Just have to do it next time a little larger scaled. Started off with 6 shoebox tubs and only this one made it without contamination.

    Jack Frost
    KSS-S
    B+
    AA+
    Chocolate Kringle

    And 1 Psilocybin Natalensis strain.

    We also have Amanita Muscaria

    I've been building a library of samples. We trade other growers for new species regularly.

    My B+ is pinning. I didn't even want to grow this strain but I had clean cultures already so I said fuck it and sent it. I've grown it a few times already. Nothing really impressive about them. They'll send you to the moon though. First time I grew P. Cubensis like 2 years ago was B+. Only did 2 shoebox tubs so I don't expect much volume just didn't want to waste clean spawn.

    Lil B+ babies. \m/
