And you have to remember too that people won't say everything in videos because people have businesses to run. No matter how much info is given out plenty is left out.
I really appreciate the in depth descriptions of what you’re doing and why. I started using LSD to work through some difficult aspects of my life and formulate a healthy perception the world. Mushrooms are just hard to find so I’ve resorted to the closest experience to psilocybin I could find which happens to be readily available and cheaper than buying mushrooms. Spores however are easy to find. And the information you’re sharing with everyone will help me continue my self improvement

hey, on your website, it doesnt say how much mushrooms ur getting when trying to order. it just asks for quantity "1, 2" etc
If anyone has time to answer it would help me greatly(: I’d like to know how you determine if you’re going to inoculate your spawn with either liquid culture or agar culture. Also, how long do your liquid jars take to grow out and how do you store them during and after the growing out process? How long do they keep and do you add more liquid broth to the last bit to keep the genetics going or start new with a fresh plate? Thanks 🙏

Use google man. LC is good for innoculant. Agar is good for isolation. It takes a few weeks to fully colonize a LC jar. You can store them in the fridge for 6 months or even up to a decade.

To awnser yout last question there is something referred to as a P factor and it goes up by 1 every time you make a transfer. By P10 the strain breaks down and starts doing poorly lots of mutations etc. So to prevent that you take a new sample from your master and grow it out instead of taking remaining LC and putting it in a new jar.
Maybe i missed it but when do you use LC to grain and agar to grain-LC? also why inoculate LC with agar and not another LC?

I just need to know - what do you do with the substrate after the mushrooms have finished growing? I've seen you talk about combining big amounts of substrate for the mushrooms but I have no idea what happens to the substrate that has been used? Do you just throw it out or reuse as something else? I can't imagine mushrooms just using it up etc.

You can take the substrate with the mushroom spores and throw it over dirt, cover with straw, and it should give you new mushrooms. Or maybe they use it as fertilizer?

haha hes funny. Ya given the current state of the world you may not be able to get gloves so you're doing good if ya can get any. I remember my mom a year ago saying how the one store had a limit of nitrile gloves and she needed them. My dad's paralyzed so gloves are needed haha. Things seem better now supply wise.
Never double glove latex. It can lead to latex allergy. Vinyl and neoprene don't have that problem. People in medicine will keep their nails short and put on several neoprene gloves and peel them off inside out whenever they need a new pair.

Just personal preference, I've made thousands of dishes and lots of LC, only ever used LME from my local homebrew store. My LC recipe is 500ml water, 12.5g LME, should be at 2.5% sugar content and it keeps the LC pretty light in color.

If each petri dish is usable only for week do you product that many to have all those petri dishes? Why not incubate directly from liquid culture? Just trying to understand how the process works

It isn't like he is working from spores here so Mycelium expansion is the real purpose of agar before capturing it into a liquid. that is my understanding. otherwise , with spores the agar would be used for spore germination and isolation. he does grain transfers which inoculate mirror quickly than liquid cultures do. and I imagine not a lot of plates are wasted.
