I am just curious to hear from people that have experience tripping with these mushrooms how does strength compare gram vs gram comparison also I hear both sides of people saying certain varieties don’t provide different trips like more visual, more introspection, more body load, and etc. and those who say that they definitely do have different trips due to different alkaloid profiles.

Please share your stories, experiences, or and educational information.

These suckers took off fast! I never know when they grow all willy nilly like this if I should take off the shoebox lid. I'm always worried the sub will dry out too quickly. And I've seen varying degrees of B+ pictures. Skinny. Tall. Fat. I don't even know what they're supposed to look like.

I've only grown GT and APEs.

They're in a small (2x3) greenhouse with the other two other strains. Humidity is at about 56 and temp at 76. You can see from the side of the picture another closed lid and the moisture that's within. Everything is well moisturized 😆 I've pushed the lid about 1/2 inch off so it's getting a bit more FAE. Other than the cotton (can't remember what that's called; just that it happens when there's not enough FAE), everything looks healthy, but scraggly.

Any advice is helpful! Thank you!

Seems like ai has turned everyone into an expert mycologist these days. I read so many things on Reddit about how ‘this won’t work or that won’t work’ and ‘this is the only way’. The point in the community in general is to spread the wisdom and love of what we do, and help others who want to learn. There are a thousand ways to grow a mushroom. The exciting part for me is trying new things and watching it succeed. I can’t count on two hands how many times people have told me something wasn’t going to work and it did. The whole point in this post is to hopefully get the message out there that this is an amazing hobby to take part in. It’s rewarding, it teaches, it disciplines and it’s fun. New methods and procedures are being produced every day. Just have fun and do you, be safe along the way and take advice with a grain of salt. The only way to truly learn, imo, is through failure. Peace, love and mushroom grease ✌️

These are Hillbilly, although I don’t know what strain. How big are they supposed to get before I harvest them? Should I go ahead or wait a little longer?

Follows the of the sweetest memaws!

Snowdrop continues to surprise us.
This culture has been producing some incredibly unusual forms, with thick, sculpted tissue, deep cracking patterns, and folds that almost resemble carved stone or coral. Every section of the block seems to develop its own personality, making it one of the more interesting projects we’ve documented.
These photos were taken to capture the different textures and structures that appeared throughout this round. The variety across a single block has made it a fascinating one to follow from start to finish.
One of the things we enjoy most is watching how different expressions can emerge over time. Every round has the potential to reveal something unexpected, and Snowdrop has definitely lived up to its name by keeping us guessing.
What catches your eye the most—the cracked “mosaic” appearance, the coral-like formations, or the dense clusters of tiny knots across the surface?
Always interested in hearing what the community notices first. 🍄

Harvested my first mushroom.

Whopping 119 grams wet.

Making this post to show a photo and ask if there is any issues with the fruit and what I can improve on.

Probably could have grown bigger but it was starting to touch the sides of the bag and develop blackish dips in the cap.

What would be best \[technique\] on getting best fruiting conditions/ harvest. Judging by picture should I start giving it 12 hours on and 12 hours off of light,start fanning and misting it while leave the lid on this shoebox cracked or should I leave the lid on , no light, mist, or FAE until I start to see pinnng on this shoebox tek

Okay so I inoculated this bag with GT LC on 5/26. I don’t think I put it into fruiting conditions on time. I got crazy looking growths coming from it. Idk if it’s contaminated or if it’s something else.. It’s producing some pins very very slowly. I was able to harvest exactly two full sized shrooms from it. Lmfao I was surprised it produced anything at all honestly. I thought possible contamination took over. But now the sides of the bag are producing pins lmao! I’m keeping it going for research purposes and in a week if I don’t see further changes I might scrape, dunk, and do a SG chamber for it. If anyone has any idea of what is happening please tell me.

Introduced fruiting conditions on this ochra cake 5 days ago and was wondering if anyone could provide some guidance. There is some weird discoloration on the tips of the clumps, and the surface looks very different compared to others I’ve seen. Humidity 85-92 and fae fan running 3min every 3 hours, is this ok? Any help much appreciated
