>>40971531out of all the drugs I've tried, magic mushrooms were by far the most fun
the secret ingredient is cum isn't it?
>>40971307Careful, Psilocube Ponkascens is an extremely potent strain. You’re gonna be tripping balls on that in no time.For real though, how the fuck does this board share literally every single one of my niche interests? Am I just that much of a cookie cutter autist?
>>40971938The winding path that leads to this place is very particular, and shapes everybody similarly
>>40971938He is gonna go to Equestria and back for sure
>>40971307anon that's not how you make sweet rye bread
Ideally speaking, we should start to see signs of growth in 2-5 days here. I have a good feeling about this
>>40972288Keep us posted.
>>40971314magic poneshrooms gonna habbenit's called the "Ponka Fanaticus tek"
>>40972297My main concern is that adding in a foreign Ponk may lead to potential contamination vectors. She withstood the steaming process though, so I am betting that wouldn't be the case. Would be quite funny if this somehow aided the process and adding a cute pink amre to the jar was beneficial
>Ponk - LSD>Rainbow Dash - Cocaine>Rarity - XTC>Twilight - Amphetamines>Fluttershy - Magic Mushrooms>Applejack - Apples

>>40972449one of my few pony drawings from the good old days......
Update: From inoculation yesterday to today, there is some initial rhizomorphic growths near Ponk (Those little white thread-like spots against the glass). This is much quicker than my previous experiments. What is she telling them?
>>40974235In one day? That's very fast.
>>40974269That's what I'm saying! Do you think they like her?
>>40972449I'd say molly for pinkie and not rarity
>>40974235It begins.
i love shrooms and pinkie pie, op let's be friends
>>40974285Whoah!
Fascinating.
Sleep well, Pinkie Rye
>>40972449I think your list is mostly ass. Try this:>penk: xtc or weed, for even more love of everyone around her or the turbo giggles and munchies.>rd: agreed, gotta go fast.>rares: lsd, for the overwhelming sense of beauty and patterns everywhere (untill she panics and starts her bad trip, she is definitely not stable enough for hard drugs).>twi: keta, for extreme relaxation by inducing a dream-like halluciogenic state.>flutters: agreed, maybe also dmt if she is brave enough, both for the (extreme) connection with nature.>appul: agreed. Also cider, because tradition and it's perfect for adding a dash of ghb while she isn't looking.
this thread can't die yet!
>>40975106Pinkie Pie: Mdma. The movement the music, the very therapeutic feeling of love and connection and being able to let things go easier. She might also like Nitrous but probably only while on other substances.Rarity: UnsureRainbow Dash: SpeedFluttershy: Psilocybin for how intense nature becomesTwilight:speed for study but maybe lsd for non studyapplejack: Cider>a dash of ghbEh sounds dangerous, maybe only use a little alcohol as a chaser.
>>40975466Ill be posting another update by end of day here, thanks for bumping
bump
Update: Marecelium is visible...
>>40977059You're onto something with this. Godspeed anon
>>40977069Thanks, I'm doing my best to make sure the snowpity levels in the jar are at optimal levels for marecelium cultivation. I find that marecelium needs a Laudiculic, non-tedmantic snowpity environment to grow property according to the Bunglingle classification methodology. I don't have an Equine Entabulator to measure the exact snowpity flux, but I think we got a good approximation so far.
>>40977080how much experience you have with growing fungi?I tried myself doing it, and failed due to contamination and fruit flies
>>40977303Pretty experienced I'd say. Its tough, but once you find the tek that works for you, then its pretty nice to adjust and refine your own process. Creating your grain spawn jars is the hardest part of the whole process for sure. I've never had contam in my jars thus far, so I am confident in my sterilization tek Though truth be told, I am kinda expecting a larger chance of contam with Ponka, given she is a rogue addition to the jar itselfI went through the proper sterilization steps, though her snowpity might be just a little too intraconferous for the marecelium to handle. We will have to see
>>40977327Any tips on how to cultivate Lion's mane mushroom?
>>40977437I don't cultivate that type, really. Though all mushrooms have the same process. >Prepare grains>Steam sterilize>Inoculate with sporesThen once your grain spawn is ready>Create pasteurized substrate>Mix grain spawn with substrate (and casing layer)>Keep humidity and temp at optimal levels until fruiting bodies appearIts a lot more involved if you are doing it from step 0 though like me. Lions mane is legal in all states and there are a lot of grow kits out there for it that come with the grain spawn and substrate prepped, you just need to inject the spores.
>>40977327Kek.
>>40977327Ponka is not a contaminant, yet she can contaminate the results. A conundrum.
>>40978407She's just too friendly!!
a fellow shroom growerlet's see how it goes
>>40978626forgot to ask: what strain?
>>40978629I wanna see if you guys can recognize the strain once this mycelium gets put into substrate and starts to fruit
>>40978637might be difficult honestly but i'll give it a try
>>40978626What Teks do you use fren?
bumpers
>>40978659lately i just put the substrate into a bag, seal it up, sterilise it, do the injection and once mycelium is done, cut the bag open and let them grow (inside a container ofc). tired of juggling jars and increasing the risk of contamination
rye have you done this?
up
Going to try and take a timelapse today of her and one of my other jars for comparison to post here. I think that might be cool to see if there is visible movement and growth over the day
>>40979057Ive not had a chance to experiment much with different substrate teks. Once I get to that point, I do wanna experiment with doing my own all in ones. Might be pretty fun
I'm wondering if I should let this time lapse go for another day before posting or if I should post the progress for today's stuff around midnight tonight.
>>40980956Please post more punki fungi
>why yes, I would like microplastics in my drug cultures!
>>40981520micropinkies
>>40971307but im allergic to rye :(
>>40981502I just got my timelapse together. Its super cool and you can see the marecelium growing! Im doing some compression and stuff to get that posted up here at some point today, hold tight anon!
>>40981786Looking forward to seeing the video.
>>40974235piezomorphic growth>>40977059marecelium
>>40975899>The movement the music, the very therapeutic feeling of love and connection and being able to let things go easier.Fully agree>She might also like Nitrous but probably only while on other substances. She'd only use nos when others are joining in on the fun>TwiDo you think her taking lsd would strenghten her connection with magic? Or should she take mushrooms for that with flutters?>sounds dangerousFair enough. She wouldn't be consuming a little, though
>>40981786Update: Here's the timelapse! Was a total of about 1.5 days or so just pointed at the jars here. I had another one of my jars that's pretty far along next to it so the Marecelium had someone to talk to. If you scrub back and forth through it, you can see it propagating outwards to make more friendshttps://files.catbox.moe/3tuw5w.mp4
>>40981980gif pulsates weirdly. I guess it adds to the effect
>>40982002The marecelium is now in tune with Ponk's biorhythms.
>>40982002I just zoomed the playhead back and forth and compressed that as a gif for the image, hah
>>40981980Looks like Rye is getting very exicted for her friend
I want to grow mareshrooms too
>>40982672Grab some rye and give it a go!
>>40982687might not be so easy depending on where anon is from
>>40982672there are guides online. remember to sterilize both the growth medium and the mare. depending on what kind of shrooms you're looking to grow you may or may not get in trouble with the ponice
>>40982709Nothin' wrong with growing some normal gourmet ones ;)Same process and all, doesn't really differ
one in the rye, two in the pie
>>40983612unf
Eventually if/when my grain jars are 100% colonized, I will probably move mycelium pie to another jar just to see if she along can colonize a jar without me having to inoculate it with spores
>>40984052pie sisters
>>40984052that's risky. do you have sterile environment to do that?
>>40984052Just grab syringe, get some sterilized water in it, inject it into the cake, and then suck it back.BAM, you have a liquid culture now! Okay, to be precise, you would need some honey in that water to call it a proper liquid culture, but it's still perfect to inoculate grain.Also, have you ever tried the coconut coir monotub tek?
>>40984840honey is no god imo, it has some anti properties and mycelium will have a difficult time digesting it down. corn syrup or potato water are much better
shrump
>>40984458Still air boxes, plenty of sterile teks. Ultimately speaking wouldn't be any different than using a spoon doing a grain-to-grain transfer. So shouldn't invite any more risk than that
>>40984840>>40985460Ive been wondering how to go about making my own liquid cultures. Honestly seemed super hard to do, though I havn't looked into teks on how to do it.
Update: Not much outside of the timelapse from the last post. Clear marecelium growth still, though now seems to be mostly propagating around her eye and behind her ears. Thus far, no signs of contam, though still holding my breath in case Ponk wanted to invite more friends to the party that we don't know about.
thats sick as hell dude
>>40986783>"my eye! MY EYE!!!"
>>40987562Do you think she notices?
>>40971307up
I am thinking of giving her about another few days or so before maybe break-and-shaking? What do you guys think?For those who don't know, at a certain point in marecelium growth, you violently shake the jar in order to break apart the grains and redistribute them through the jar in order to allow for more exponential growth (which is aptly named the break-n-shake). How long do you guys think I should give her?
>>40988146>how long should I wait before breaking the marehow forward
>>40988146Sounds cool. When you shake up the stuff, you're creating extra spawn points for the mushies, but on the downside, you damage the marecelium. When the fungi is shocked, first it will take some time to regenerate the damage before continuing the colonization. So don't go overboard with that shaking!Also, your colonies spread like crazy, it looks like they are having a great time in there! The jar is relatively small, maybe that shaking isn't really necessary... not to mention that Ponka could be buried under the rye!!>>40985460Nah, maybe you mixed up that with it's anti-bacterial properties, fungi loves honey. Just look up "honey LC tek".I always use honey in my agar-agar medium for petri dish work and never had problems with it.
>>40988011
One of my other jars is pretty much ready. Going to start experimenting with substrate teks to see what works best before we do the thing with Pinkie Rye when she is ready
if you used twilight you'd have purple teachers.
we need updates anon, how is ponks journey?
Saving this thread
>>40990956I will snap a few pictures today, I think the interior of her jar is getting the most populated, so outside is not toooo much different than last update. Ill be sure to post once Ive finished up with some other jar activities today
>>40992004>other jar activitiesuh oh
>>40990956Update: Marecelium has thickened up, especially around her ears. Condensation goes in and out, which is a good sign still that things are growing. No signs of contam thus far, which is good! I have a feeling it's going to propagate along the top and in the center of the jar for the most part here. I would say maybe 25% colonized?I am gauging the best time to break-n-shake her at this point to redistribute those grains to fill the whole jar faster.
>>40992205HYPE
>>40992205lel is the mycelium on her eye?
>>40992426>>40986783Ohhh yeah that's a better shot, I see now, amazing

>>40996580H-Help her bros…
get this thread ARCHIVED NOW!
I will make sure to post an update today. There will likely be two pictures, since Ill probably break-n-shake her up today. One before the shake, and one after
Update: Took a picture here of what she is like before the shaking. Marecelium is strong, and I don't notice any signs of contam, so its prime time to give her a shake and redistribute the grains and our mare
>>40998764Update: Grains were shaken, and the Marecelium is redistributed. As for her? She seems to be unbothered, happy, and in her own lane.
>>40998772That stuff in her eye though seems to have given her a little bit of a twitch though, hm...
>>40998773Anon, even if I don’t reply I want you to know that I’m following this really closely.
>>40998899Happy to have ya along, fren!
>>40998773>seems to have given her a little bit of a twitchYou will awake to a crash in the night and discover that Pinkie has broken free of the jar you have bound her to. She will be somewhere in your home..stalking.

the history its repeating itself
>>41001462yes
Ive started doing another timelapse, so Ill probably not post an update for a day or so while that is coming together. Kinda wanna get a lapse of what it looks like after the breakup and such
>>40998773her pinkie sense must be activating
>>41003728stinky horny pie
>>41003728Whoah...
>Pinkie is a fungimakes sense
Update: Been making that time lapse, so nothing too out there for today. There is condensation in the jar though, which is cool because that looks like it might get rid of a lot of the particulates from the rye after the shake that were obscuring her a bit. I have two other jars near her right now, so when the timelapse comes through, we can see a few of the growing along-side her
>>41004787Is that coffee grounds in the furthest jar?
>>41004842Substrate I made as an experiment. Its using the CFG method, but I just wanted to test out what substrates work best for when Ponk is fully colonized
>10
>>41005528
>>41006131
>>41004787wait, that's cheating. there's only one Ponk in a single jar
i want to trip on pinkie's essence
Timelapse Update: Got the timelapse made! Pointed the camera at it for a little over 2 and a half days. The other two jars are different strains than Ponk, but it seems by the looks of the third that my substrate experiment is pretty good for microclimates. Ill likely be using that for when she is done being colonized. https://files.catbox.moe/o0qb3d.movOnly worry so far is that some grains seem to be a little sticky to the side of the jar? Just a thing Im watching out for in case there are signs of any bacterial contam based on being a bit too wet in there.
>>41007923>the level of rye slowly falling in the ponk jar
>>41008468The shrooms aren't the only thing needing sustenance.
fun fact: humans are more genetically similar to fungi than plants, sharing nearly 50% of DNA with themfun fact 2: mycelial network highly resembles the neural network of mammalian brains and thus some theoretize that mycelium is capable of thinking and has some degree of consciousness

>>41009133the "nothing but mammals" ones
>>41009133Marecilium
bumping before bed. how long until we can expect fruiting bodies, OP?
>>41010269once its colonized and the button appears, its result can be finished in 1 day or 2 tops
>>41010269Ahh, thats hard to tell! I want to give it a week or two to fill out the rest of the jar, really. That whole jar has to be white before I consider putting it in substrate, or there's a wider risk of contamination. Given I just did a break and shake, the growth is a bit slow right now since its in a recovery period. Once it goes into substrate, it'll need at least 10 days to colonize the bedding, and another 10 or so to actually fruit once I open it up and mist it to try and get her to fruit.
>>40973911Luna
>colonizing noises intensify
>>41007923Small update: I think I may have predicted right on those sticky grains. Marecelium is growing, but at a much slower rate, and those grains aren't reabsorbing that moisture. Certainly grounds for bacterial contam. Ponk might have invited more than who she was allowd to to the party
>>41011808So if all this is necessary how does a fungus ever grow in the wild. Also can we get a nod for Princess Celestia voicing this?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C2pW_e6QAeA&pp=ygUddGhlIGtpbmdkb20gZnVuZ2kgZG9jdW1lbnRhcnk%3DFungus and /mlp/ were always meant to be
>>41011867>So if all this is necessary how does a fungus ever grow in the wildthey grow just fine. it's just that if you only want a certain species in a certain place things get difficulttake a look at the magic mushroom episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia for an idea of how strict commercial (if illegal) shroom growers are about cleanliness
>>41011867>>41011881The good news is that I actually have 3 jars all with the same strain as Marecelium pie going, so even if this one jar fails, we'll still get to see her growing with some substrate. Those jars themselves are actually pretty far along, so if they get to be ready before this current one, and the jar here is indeed slowed by contam, I might just take her out, sterilize her (bad pony spraybottle tek), and let her know she's not allowed to invite those guys to the party this next time. >>41011881 is right though, cleanliness in the process is insane. I have a still-air box, constantly am wiping things down with alchohol, gloves, PC tek's the whole 9 yards. Ive never had a funcle contam in my stuff, which is good, but bacterial contam is a fair bit harder to stop if your grains aren't dry enough. Gotta hit that sweet spot between not too dry to slow growth, but hydrated enough to allow them to propogate without growing bacteria
>>41011808when it comes to bacteria, mycelium can actually fight back given that it has colonised the majority of the jar. i had some bacterial contamination in the past and mycelium has bulldozed over it, producing those amber coloured droplets in the process
>>41012423Interesting! I knew that they could do that kinda thing and they call that mycelium pee or something. Here's to hoping Pinkie pee's in my jar
Y'all think this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBISfv-6hfo worthy?

Ill post and update later this evening. Does still seem as if the growth is stalled though, but Im willing to let her try and fight whatever it is thats stalling her. Otherwise, rather than doing a grain-to-grain transfer, we can do a Ponk-to-Jar transfer
>>41015456maybe shook it too soon?
>>41015528Nahh, grains were just a little too wet I imagine. Either that or some of the burst grains were carrying some bacteria. Or y'know... Ponk herself has a lot of nooks and crannies for things to hide in, Im sure. Im gonna do a transfer into one of her sister jars tonight so she can continue to make friends. Those ones are a lot further on already, so should be fun
op is not a fag, has been delivering for two weeks, good job
Update: Took one last picture of the jar before opening it up. As I suspected, the smell inside was soured instead of mushroomy. Pulled our gal out of there before she got wrapped up with some bad influences
>>41016179 She is free lads... Got some rye sticking to her mane, but overall seems fine. None of it actually took off any of her colors, just covered up her eye and such. Rest assured we WILL have Marecelium bros...Some additional shots of our gal. Giving her a good bath as we speak [1/2]
>>41016186[2/2]
>>41016179>Pulled her outPussy.Anyway, healthy looking jar op. Brings back memories of my first still air box as a teenager
>>41016423Ehhh compared to some of my other jars and her sister jars, she wasn't doing too hot at all though. That jar was a bust. Look at this one for example. A lot thicker, no sticky grains, etc. Im thinking if I add her to a jar like this with an already established presence, she would fare much better. Honestly was super surprised there wasn't anything more unsavory really. Like bacterial contam is super common, so Im just gonna steam her, and slip her into one of my backups.
>>41016153yeah I guess it could just be bad luck too, cool project, hope to eat one of your ponk caps at mare fair ;)
>>41016575Friendship is magic, as they say
Update: After dishwashing, steaming, and sterilizing her again, I put her into another one of her sister jars. Maud said it was alright if we used hers, since Limestone wasn't budging. Anyways, she seems to think its quite comfortable, and the grains themselves have already been shaken before all this and are already spreading through the whole jar at a super fast rate, so we're still on schedule to have her in substrate in 1-2 weeks as planned
>>41016584Did it fall off of her eye?
>>41016580Friendship is Magic Mushrooms. Lol.
>>41016707fielding this for OP, he took pinkie out>>41016186 (you can see her eye pre-wash here)and re-sterilized her and threw her into a new jar with healthier fungus, her jar got infected >>41016179
>>41016584steamed hams but it's steamed horse
>>41016488It didn't look bad to me just young, some jars just take more time I've found. Though my thoughts are biased since I fucked up and had a couple with mold recently>>41016584SHES BACK IN BOYS, ITS JUST GETTING STARTED
Will this be the new jar meme?
>>41017571
Doing another small lapse of her in the new jar over this weekend. Should be a fun one
>>41017175It was def the smell that gave it away. When you open a jar, it should smell mushroomy. Like if you were to open a bag of portabellas from the store and took a whiff, should have that same smell. If it smells sweet, sour, or rancid, something went wrong in the jar, and that was what the one she was in originally was like.
>>410175711 man, 1 Ponk in the jar
cultivating (marecelium)
This is like a much more boring version of the cum jar. I guess that's just where the board is at these days.
>>41016714Would bathe pinkie in caustic soda. Good ponk.
>>41013716https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wp1xknPA5A
>>41019997
>>41016714Aww man I was hoping for a big ol shroom growing on her eye like the anon arted.
>>41019324>(marecelium)>MARE celium.
>>41016488I think the problem was you didn't add any handmade "protein" to the jar.
>>41019402Sorry you have cumbrain and can't enjoy interesting things unless they're related to sex in some manner.
>>41020864Y'know you might be onto something.......
>>41020795I dont think that would happen even if that jar did succeed. Mushrooms need nutrients and water in order to be able to fruit, and on top of that are super picky about where they decide to fruit. They would have grown around her, and not on her if that first jar made it to substrate. That being said, I plan on getting pics of Ponk in a shrigma forest come the time
Going to wait till a bit later tonight before posting the timelapse. Always fun to see it grow in a quicker way rather than one photo at a time
memewy, shouwd i buwmp dis thwead
Update: Seems to be doing pretty good so far! Condensation present and you can see it continue to grow in nicely. Given this one is already within most of the jar, should have a much better time dealing with any parasprites Pinkie may have brought in with her.Strains on the left and right are also there for fun. Left is a different strain than the other two, but fills out in a super noticable wayhttps://files.catbox.moe/kin1o9.mov
On the side, I am also currently putting some of my containers into fruiting conditions to test out my substrate tek. If you guys wanna see those too, I can post them as well. Ponk will eventually be put into the same substrate mix
>>41022828so the jars are just to get the marecelium going?
>>41022849Yup, pretty much you get a good marecelium colony going, and then once those grains are 100% healthy and colonized, you create or buy some substrate and mix the grains in with it. Then from there its just>Wait for the marecelium to colonize the whole brick of substrate>Open the shoebox lid and allow in fresh air/increase humidity to spark fruiting conditionsThe hardest bit of the whole processes really is the initial jar process, since the fungi is just so young at that point that bacteria and other contaminants can pretty easily stall or kill the marecelium.
>>41022855I've been looking into growing food 'shrooms and it seems to be a bit of a botheryou can mail order pre-colonized boxes where I live, but at $30 it seems just barely worth it. probably better off picking wild ones. I have ceps and chanterelles growing on my property
>>41022861Well remember that you can and usually should be getting more than one flush out of a single brick. Average is 2-3, but sometimes you can get up to 5. And depending on your conditions, obviously can be a pretty good value overall. If you wanna save the most though, you'd go through the whole process. Takes a while longer, but you also get a lot more insight into how they really propogate, and how to actually do things like make your own Agar plates, liquid cultures, etc. That 30 dollars can go a looong way if you know how to clone a strain
>>41022868right, at the very least one could set up a second box with substrate and move some from one box to the other. unless the marecelium gets angery from that treatment

So how many of you anons actually grow, curiously?
>>41022431Looking good, let's goooooooooo>>41023489I used to, just PF tek way back in the day, before ponies. These days more focused on plants, like getting a low germination rate on super hot peppers :')
>>41023489currently on hold. will get back to it soon
>>41023489this thread made me go for iti got myself a liquid pink oyster
>>41023489I tried to grow cubes twice with PF tek. A couple jars actually fruited and I was able to make spore prints. The whole sterile process and watching the mycelium colonize the jars then begin pinning was fascinating.
>>41014136What is this Adventure Time ass sounding background music?
>>41024217You wire up a synth to translate variations in electrical potential in the mushrooms into sound.
>>41024151Ayyo?? Be sure to post progress when you get it going!
>>41023489Growing shrooms? None, but I've been gardening for a few years, so I am at least growing something. Plants like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and etc. Hoping for good yields this year.
>>41024309the syringe arrived, i put it in the refrigerator but i think this specimen in particular dies, compared to its cousins.soo, i will have to wait for the next syringe to arrive, going for white oyster
>>41024757Spores are usually good in a fridge for a number of months though?
Ponk is doing pretty good thus far. Ill be sure to take an update photo at some point tonight. She’s close…!

>>41017571I like this one way more.
Is there any disinfectant that kills bacteria, but is tolerated by fungi?
>>41022999That horse had a really angry expression.
>>41027159Closest you are going to get is sprinkling hydrogen peroxide on a substrate mix to determine if there might be cobweb mold hiding on the substrate but thats about it. In small quantities, that stuff isnt' harmful to mycelium.
>>41025848Jar is coming along nicely! Update photo of her progress. Ill include a second of the back where the bulk of it seems to be growing the most[1/2]
>>41027776Guessing about 60% colonized?[2/2]
>>41027778IT'S ALIVE
>>41027586Some people are just completely oblivious to reading body language.
>>41027770So, nothing you can dunk a pony figurine in before introducing it to a jar that would keep bacteria off of it that wouldn't also harm the fungus?
>>41027788the ears being folded back is a bad signif the mare doesn't have your full attention, ears upright and demeanor curious, it's best to stay away
>>41027801Well of course there is things you can do before adding something to the jar. But when you add something to a jar in general, you are inviting a potential vector of contamination in. Mind you, I do the standard sterilization steps. PC steaming, and a cautionary alchohol dip, on top of being inserted within a still air box. That's about the most anyone would be able to do for her
>>41027778but when do the mushrooms appear?
>>41027785>there's a person inside this suit who has to jump all day long
>>41028677these are the thoughts you will have looking in the mirror after eating the ponk shrooms
>>40971307bumpthanks op you made me discover the magical world of mushroomsSHRIGMA MARE GRINDSETMARECELIUM ONLYFUCK MICRODOSING POTSNOOFS
>>41028157usually? two weeks.
>>41028829nta but the only time i've done mushrooms i looked in the mirror and saw myself with four eyes and my hair trailing into wisps of faint smoke.
>>41029989This you, anon?
>>41025020update: there seems to have a white spot in the middle, will take a picture later

I just got a big boy camera for timelapsing stuff. Giving it a spin on one of my other tubs just to see how well it does. These timelapses are exceptionally helpful in seeing good/bad growing patterns, cant lie
>>41031165Do the thing! Id love to see them, anon
I grew Pleurotus ostreatus (i dont know the english name) once and it was really fun.Had a mycology phase in elementary school and one day I came home with a bag of coffee grounds like half the size of me because the teachers had put all the school's quarterly budget into a massive industrial grade coffee machine and I asked for some grounds to grow in.Put them under the sink and they molded something awful while I was away. I was a retarded kid.I also filled up my entire school bag with acorns and they all hatched white larvae that went everywhere which didnt make mom happy
>>41032209>I was a retarded kid.hey at least you were motivated.>>41032209>hatched white larvaeprobably acorn weevils, if you check dropped acorns you can sometimes see little holes drilled in to them, those ones have weevil eggs in them.
>>41032064should i wait for untill it gets properly colonized?
>>41032209larvae on mushroom? i have found out that this oil can ward fruit flies if you spray it
>>41032749Don't see why you'd have to. I'd love to see the kinds of fungi things everyone is up to!
>>41032833wikipedia says neem oil also has antifungal properties
>>41033089
>>41033821Thems are some huge grains anon. What Tek are you using?
>>41033864some leftover glass bottles of 200ML and corn
>>41033866Not familiar with this sort of thing, do you shatter those when the mycelium is mature or do you just let a few fruiting bodies grow from the top? Seems narrow.
>>41033874i will shake the bottles for the grains to fall from the top. maybe i should have had cracked corn for this but i think it will work
>>41033582
Update: She longs for the substrate

Update: That camera I got to test out timelapsing and to see if my substrate stuff is ready for Ponk is pretty nice! I actually took a small timelapse of one of my tubs while Ponk colonizes, and you can see a patch of it really fill out here: https://files.catbox.moe/ep4fi7.mp4
>>41037611sped up fast for fun and bump
>>41038234looks like the Crystal Empire
>>41038234Ah hey, that's super helpful!

bump for shrooms
1 bottle did not make it, the leftmost one
New timelapse underway. Got 3 jars in the camera as of yesterday. One with substrate, one with millet, and of course our mare.

>>41039367Tiny bottles or huge grains?
God I hate Pinkie Pie
>>41042245both

>>41047610>>41047616She's REAL
>>41047610>>41047616What's the plan after colonization here? Break it up and pour into sterilized straw or something?
>>41047618yes, i did grab straw from a neighboor. will sterilize with limestone
>>41047610We are so making it to equestria
>>41047610>>41047616now put her in
>>41048166
>>41045621>thread does not diecorrect
Sorry there isn't too many updates on things folks. Realistically most of making mushrooms is just... waitin' around and all. Im converting a timelapse I took though tonight, so that'll be a thing
>>41049159i have a pleurotus djamor, not sure if its faster than your mushroom but... i am about to make the bags with straw
>>41049170>pleurotus djamorPost?? Those are super cool to grow!
>>41049184here?>>41047616>>41047610
Update: Timelapse of the Ponk and the other two jars over the course of 3 days. Cant lie folks, I am starting to think our gal Ponk is far too inviting to be left alone. It started out well, and there aren't any sticky grains, though I dont see any positive growth anymore, and I fear she stalled again
>>41049203the marecelium is sleeping
