decay exists as an extant form of life

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What does this even mean? Decay exists as a surviving form of life?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It means every life that ends feeds another in decay.

Anybody where I can find an eighth of that third guy?

[–] TRBoom@lemmy.zip 37 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's because no people live on these planets

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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....

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.

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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)

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Psylocibe is a Little Brown Mushroom(TM). There are so many poisonous lookalikes it's not even funny.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 1 points 3 days ago

Gotta check the pastures.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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 Δ-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.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 3 days ago

Depending on what country you live, you can just order mushrooms or other psychedelics off the internet.

[–] RangerAndTheCat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Check out uncle Ben’s with a quick search with what your trying to cultivate 🤙🏾

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Addv4@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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).

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago

Well you got access to the internet....

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

If you live in New Jersey hit up the weedman

You feel like reality around you is changing

The word URINE echoes around you...

fly agaric does delerium, some people do something similar with benadryl.

Our eyes are yet to open.

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is that supposed to be an amanita regalis? Those would just pop out randomly in my back yard. Extremely poisonous if you don't know how to deal with them.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure it’s supposed to be amanita muscaria

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

mmm mushrooms (NOT the drug, the food)

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

Mmm mushrooms (the psychoactive varieties, NOT the food)

I would be a stoned ape over an office drone any day of the week

403 on the image for some reason. What did I do to deserve this pain!
