OK I'll bite - what's the stuff on the rice that isn't the pink virus stuff - is this a dry cap of cubensis with a few spores scrapped out on a brown rice?

Ancient African rock art shows the mushroomonic transformation from hunter-gather to pastoralism (got cattle? have mushrooms).

Parismilton - thanks for the info - for the Prostate Cancer I would also advise men to avoid any kind of petrolatum (carcinogenic) product in their favorite brand of hand cream - if you get what I mean.

I have noticed differences between cubensis and cyanscens - which I attributed the other types of psilocybin like ingredients.

Brain Coral? Gee you think the development of our brains was related to mushroom consumption over thousands of years?

Rather than re-creating the wheel perhaps the hands of experience can review this plan? I found it on the Shroomer site - pictures are missing however: I have been asked several times how do I prepare my coir, so here is a quick step by step on how I prepare my coir. I have done it this way...

I have done extensive research on low dose psilocybin us in myself and have also seen a miss-use of low dose (1-2gram level daily) go very wrong. I accepted Psilocybin as my spirits teacher about 1996 after a big 7gram journey. It's a long and amazing road - though rather narrow;) About 2006...

Greetings All, I'd like to start a thread on the transition from labor intensive sterile jar production to larger yeild and cheaper ingredient bulk growth. So if you are a believer in Wild Bird Seed + Coir + Vermiculite + Gypsum - let's here from you! As for the why? We'll I'm anticipating a...

For Brown Rice Flour (BRF?) - the price online is better than the EarthFare price $8.99 lb Usually I work with 3lb BRF and make 4 cases of 1 Pint Wide mouth jars. Using glove box technology and ionizer. Good results though my strain may be weakening over time. I then birth fully taken jars...

Thanks Ophiuchus, I'm sure Star Rider and others are better prepared for your efforts - one other question - I'm wanting to go the pasteurization route for the wild bird seed (wbs). Instructions on this are some what sketchy - tips would be welcome. 40,000 year old East Indian Rock Art

Hum... Yes weight does change the scales. Found this image on a website - some researcher did a study of the variable chemistry in a specific mushroom or flush I expect - so it shouldn't be thought of as for all species or even all flushes/individual Psilocybies just a general FYI.

I hear you - I've had "shrooms" that weren't even psilocybin and I tripped my nards off (store mushrooms with liquid acid as it turned out) and I've seen blue stainers like Satan's Bolet that would make you hurl - but I've never seen a bluing mushroom which had gills (not sponge) that was...

I'll take plausibility when it comes to pressing or intentionally busing a psilocybin mushroom - I hardly ever do this though except when doing field research. Thinking more along the lines of the natural state - ie you just find a patch or pick a flush and the ones that are bluer tend to be...

OK - Let's just say that I want to combine WBS and Verm with the appropriate amount of water (? 50/50). Now pasteurization would be superior to sterilization because of the extra time colonization would have to do its thing. Also, using 1/3 ratio for colonized rice cakes would be how much...

Hi St0ne Crazy thanks in advance for your insights on bulk substrate- I'm working through the material on the net about bulk substrate in Tupperware (and yes Ophiuchus I agree Microwaves are not so good). What I've learned is that Wild Bird Seed (WBS) looks promising with a Coir + Vermiculite...
