Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Anybody where I can find an eighth of that third guy?
The spores are legal to buy online for study.
Completely unrelated, but used coffee grounds make for a decent mushroom grow medium.
Like if you wanted to grow some button mushrooms.
Eh, coffee grounds aren't a great medium for most mushrooms, they're a cheap one that requires more sterilization than most home growers can do (I've tried them plenty before,they almost always lead to some trich). The traditional method is to use rye, but honestly brown rice flour teks are generally the best from my experience for various types of mushrooms.
Never ceases to amaze me.
Ask someone a question, and you get an answer like "I'm not google". But if you state incorrect information, they will respond with the answer you were seeking to begin with.
That's a mentality you'd only find on Earth. Not like those other planets, like Mars, and Venus, and Pluto, and the sun. You don't find this behavior on those planets!
so torn between "you're right, you don't" and "well actually the mars rovers all use a redundant hardware and consensus algorithms for error correction so..."
you've successfully disabled my terminal knowitallism!
Great! Now I'm charging you an invoice for $600k, unless you have insurance. Because in this country, we don't treat mental health seriously, until we need to TREAT mental health. Then it's serious business, which costs a lot of money!
star spangled banner plays in the background
okay, but i will only pay $120 because that's when my country's "high cost protection" will kick in and the state will foot the rest of the bill.
That's because no people live on these planets
Pssshhhh!!!!! That's conspiracy talk! Men are from Mars, women are from Venis. One's got a yum-yum, the other's got a penis!
Don't you watch Bobs Burgers? Because if not......you should. It's a really good show....
Uncle Ben's Tek ftw
Uncles bens aren't bad for the low cost of entry, but brf teks are my preferred because I've had the most success with them. Either way, those are pretty easy search terms.
pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.
I really like the uncle Ben's tek theoretically.
Inject your spores or liquid culture into bags of microwavable brown rice (maybe 1cc per bag), snip the corner off and seal with micropore tape.
It's already at an appropriate moisture content and is sterile.
Then spawn to bulk as normal.
Theoretically speaking, this is how I'd do it, and I'd have a lot of success with it. Although I don't use the uncle Ben's rice, i find it's a bit too wet. Use a cheaper store brand, they're a little drier and work perfectly.

The front page is so commercially neutral, and then you have this banger in the product catalog.
I've studied quite a bit, and my findings have been... ineffable
Given the time of year, potentially your local wood
(Disclaimer: don't forage mushrooms unless you or someone you're with knows what they're doing)
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Psylocibe is a Little Brown Mushroom(TM). There are so many poisonous lookalikes it's not even funny.
Gotta check the pastures.
I've used shamrock in the past. Their payment process seems a bit sketchy by getting an email to pay through cash app (given the current legality), but I did get legit product when a last got some a couple years ago.
I guess they got a warning last year from the FDA for having Ξ-8 products. (But not psylocibin???)
They do look to still be around so it could be worth a shot. My advice though with ordering something like this online is only buy if you can afford to possibly lose the cash/product in the mail from confiscation or from a possible scam.
Depending on what country you live, you can just order mushrooms or other psychedelics off the internet.
Check out uncle Benβs with a quick search with what your trying to cultivate π€πΎ
I have an eighth that I had tucked away and forgot about. I recently found it but am kinda scared of it. Its at least a decade old now, and I don't know how long they're good for... I don't imagine they age like wine. I was thinking of maybe trying to make a tea but don't really know how to do that either.
A decade old is probably long gone, unless it was pressure stored and even then...
PS, teas suck, try to make capsules or have a lemon tek (lemon juice increases the effect a good bit, so either less for the same trip or a more intense trip).
Well you got access to the internet....
