Mycelium magic

 I LOVE this strain.  I will write more about growing them at a ltr date. I did teach myself how to make magic chocolate pieces.   Recently i made some using white rabbit shrooms that i had powdered in a grinder.  These are .4 mg each piece. Last week i ate 2 of them in the morning. This morn i only ate 1 w lots to do today.   At one point, out in the yard, i got bit by a wasp...those evil little creatures....ive already been bitten but this time, on mushrooms, the bite was sooo freaking intense. Ouch!!!!! After the pain subsided i tried to paint.  30 min in i began getting intense yawns, & knew i needed a nap. Right then. All i needed was 20 min then i was wide awake.  Had more energy tban ive had in a while.   Cleaned the kitchen up,  attempted my 1st batch of homemade hotsauce.  Made chia seed pudding.  Started dehydrating a new strain... Variant B+ Got soo much done today and had lotsa energy to do it.  I...

 This little shroom has given me sooo much trouble though im not sure why.  Probly coz ... novice! The 1st thing i noticed about this strain was the color of the mycelium.  Me being a novice i originally thought it was contaminated.  The mycelium was more of a grayish white instead of the beautiful snowy white that i had been used to.   Yet it kept growing until it filled up the grain jar. Once i mixed it w sibstrate it seemed to take forever to grow.  In fact i thought it had died at one point.  After weeks of misting & waiting i finally saw pins coming up out of the substrate.   It grew!!! But,  there's always a "but", amazon seemed to suck up all the moisture in the substrate even w my attempts at trying to keep moisture in the tub.   These little shrooms decided to side pin AND grow from the bottom of the cake.    Soo weird. I initially thought they were too annoying to grow, but im currently growing some...

 Ive not taken many trips yet to have enough to write about. Im thinking ill use this little blog to keep track of what ive grown, my novice experience of how they grow etc. My first batch i did so many things wrong, yet i had an amazing crop . I started w a grow bag of grain that i bought online. I forgot to label the strain that i had innoculated into the bag,  forgot to write a date of when i actually innoculated,  so it seemed to take FOREVER to fill that bag w mycelium.  Maybe it did since i didnt date it?  Once the mycelium did start growing it was sooo pretty.   I loved watching it grow.  Still do love watching all the various strains grow.  I look at them nearly every day in awe. Next i used substrate that i had also bought online to mix my bag of unknown mycelium in.  This was my 1st experience, i had purchased a monotub which took a lot of substrate.  Again, after a week of seeimg nothing happening i was disappointed. But ...

 An awful  lot haa been happening in my world lately.   Death of my best friend of 30 yrs.   Another friend in a coma after a stroke. Learning that someone i know as an aquainrance has turned out to be a child molestor. Wow!    Not gonna add more about any of those, but suffice it to say the past 2 weeka have been heavy. I plan to start writing about my "lab" results, not today though. A few nites ago i made chocolates w the  WHITE RABBIT Strain.  .4mg each This morning i ate 2 of them   I went for a swim.   Typically i swim laps, but today I just kinda hung out in the water.   The sun created shadows on the water that made the most beautiful concentric rings and shapes. They were so peaceful & beautiful.   There were sone tiny tufts of grass  growing out of the cracks around the pool.   I truly admired their resilience .    Then there was this pool cleaner.  It ha...

 Day off!  Whoo hoo! Woke up early thirty, per norm during the summer.  A friend had texted yesterday wanting to meet at the dog park for a doggie play date.    I ate 2 of the chocolates that i had recently made w unknown amounts of magic powder, plus a .3 capsule.   On the way to the dog park, friend bailed.  C'est la vie! While at the park,  my doggos were having sooo much fun,  so waz i as i felt my head getting wge  light. I seem to tend to feel soooo much love when im tripping. More than i usually do.   Its such an amazing thing.     Got home, ate a few bites and felt the trip coming on more. Layed down,  closed my eyes,  saw so many beautiful colors & shapes. Stayed there for a long while enjoying this very mild trip. Got up, finished a painting. People tell me they get tired after a trip.  I do need a short nap, but then i have so much energy, and often, like today,  i was rest...
