Well sloppy pretty much hit the nail on the head. I’ll chime in to say those were 55 grams when harvested today (wet weight), so about 5.5 dry. That’s about 2 trips for me, or 1 big’un and a smaller chill dose. I mostly microdose though, these will most likely be heading for the mortar & pestle then into capsules!

They’re edible, then comes the visual fun lol. They’re P. Cubensis 8)

Dang nice canopy! And you even had a nice little corner to start harvesting from haha

Good! Still not sure if my math is on the up&up, but it’s great in tea. I think it’s a great way to preserve your yields

Thanks! & I made sure to toss a wedge of the myc in a slant to keep as a master & hopefully enjoy these guys for a while to come :)

This is so cool, I wish I could do this! If only I didn’t live in a blazing hellscape with no rain lol

A tribute to… The most frightening S ever

Goodness gracious those are some fatties!

Give it a shot! Once the mushrooms are in the honey they don’t degrade, so it seems like a great way to use up shrooms that pile up after grows :)

I think I used raw honey as well. At least that’s what the lady at the roadside stand I bought the honey at said. I’ve heard about the crystallization woes as well, I guess I’ll have to wait and see how this stuff acts over the months! I’ve also heard raw honey contains enzymes that otherwise get cooked off during the filtering process, so it’s better to use. Not sure why haha.

It seems like your ratio of 1g honey to .1 mushroom is pretty close my my ratio too. I’ll give it a stir in another month or so and see how it goes!

I agree with Indicah, if you’re a first timer Uncle Ben’s tek is the way to go. You can always move up to sterilizing your own grain. I also recommend making and using a still air box (SAB), it will greatly reduce your risk of introducing contamination and make your growing experience much better. Learn and practice sterile techniques. You can never be too careful with sanitization and sterilization.

If you’re a visual learner watch the videos on 90 Second Mycology youtube channel, and PhillyGoldenTeacher is awesome too, link also on the sidebar.

shroomery.org has a metric fuckton of information available, but it can be kinda daunting for beginners. Don’t let it intimidate you tho, there’s lots of good info there. Use the search bar.

Just know that even though there’s plenty of ways a grow can go wrong, most of it can be avoided by using sterile techniques. But you dont need anything fancy, just some spores, UB bags, SAB, couple small clear plastic tubs, and some coco coir. Start simple and grow from there :)

If you have any specific questions, ask us! I’ve found most online shroom communities are chill and helpful, and I’d like to continue that here on lemmy :)

Hahah I love it bro! 🤙🏼

Nice! Is this the Choda from your other post? I like the little guys with the golden caps haha, but I’d be 👀 that one on the upper left for agar!

Dental mirrors are 100% legal in Japan

Gonna second this! I was thinking about creating an Uncle Ben’s community, but I don’t have enough time to moderate. I wonder if Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics will make their way to the Fediverse.

Anyway, if anyone wants more info on the UB tek- check out 90 Second Mycology on youtube. It’s a great way to get started in the hobby, or if you can’t sterilize your own grain.

edit: Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics if you ever see this comment thanks for all the info, you guys are the reason I’m cultivating today :)
