today I learned that there’s this Spider-Man thing that kind of works like an Alexa and if you ask him about Uncle Ben he just starts crying

[clunelover]

So okay, now that I’m getting success with a couple methods of growing mushrooms, I’ll post a little about that as I had said I would.

I still haven’t even taken them that many times - but I could just tell right away that they were good for me and my brain, and I wanted to make them a regular part of my life, and I didn’t want to have to mess around trying to buy them from someone.

I started researching how to grow them, and found that there is a large and very helpful community of amateur mycologists. The main places I looked were Reddit, and this mushroom message board called shroomery. I would say the people on Reddit are nicer although the shroomery people maybe do more deep dives into science stuff, using agar and other advanced techniques I haven’t even touched yet.

I also found out that growing them can be relatively simple and inexpensive. Although there’s tons of info out there, some of it conflicting, and plenty of “intro kits” that are expensive and, I believe now, overly complex.

I decided to start off with these all in one grow bags I got from Mycohaus.

They have grain (rye berries) which is what the spores grow on, and then once they’re colonized enough you mix them into the substrate, all without even opening the bag. You can fruit them in the bag or transfer them late to somewhere they have more room.

This really couldn’t be simpler - you get a syringe with spores or liquid culture, inject into the “self healing port” and wait for the mycelium to appear. I decided I wanted to do it this way because, although it’s kind of expensive to get those bags (and serious mycologists think they’re bad because then you don’t have to learn sterile technique?) I wanted the best chance of actually growing something my first time.

Spores: You can buy spores via a bunch of online retailers. As long as they are for “microscopy only” and there’s no discussion about cultivation, all fine.

You can also get liquid culture which is a liquid with initial mycelium in it - this is actually illegal because once it starts growing, it has become illegal…but the place I got from has all these disclaimers about how this is “isolated” mycelium that has been tested and contains no psilocybin/other active compounds. As far as I can tell, that is some sort of loophole language that is not true.

I got my spores from “millywyco” (google if you want to find them) and then graduated to liquid culture from inoculate the world.com. LC is more expensive but starts growing faster.

These grow bags worked amazingly. I’d say I’ve churned out about 140g dry weight. A moderate dose is 3g…micro is 0.1-0.5g depending on who you ask. I inoculated them with spores in mid January, they started fruiting April 3, first harvest April 8 (once they’re really growing, they grow fast). They are still fruiting.

So…that’s really all I needed to do to be set for ages. But I am now addicted to growing them, obv. I want to try every strain. I want to try different methods of growing.

So next up is the “uncle Ben’s” method in which you inject stuff into these sealed bags of shelf stable cooked rice!! On the one hand, it’s easier and cheaper cause you can get these bags anywhere. On the other hand, it’s harder cause it’s a little more contamination prone (you have to open the bags to make a air exchange hole and then cover it with micropore tape, and stuff can get in while you’re in the process of that). You also have to prep your own substrate by pasteurizing it, unlike the grow bags which are filled with it already pasteurized.

I injected my first Ben’s bags with LC on 4/15 and I now have my first little baby pins. So it does seem to have been quicker.

Best resources I’ve found:

- subreddit r/unclebens. They go over this technique in great detail, lots of posts with questions and help

- YouTube user the rookie mycologist - getting to watch someone just at the start of their journey, approaching it like I did (trying a few different methods to see what would work best)

- YouTube 90 second mycology - more stuff on uncle Ben’s technique (90 seconds refers to the cook time for the rice - not the length of videos). The key thing I got from them is how to pasteurize substrate. A lot of people tell you to just put it in a big bucket and pour boiling water in it. But this can cause too low of temps and incomplete pasteurization. 90 second guy will show you how to do oven pasteurization

- YouTube Philly Golden Teacher - idk just the first one I watched, pretty helpful, will teach you “broke boi tek” which involves boiling rice yourself and sterilizing it in jars, rather than using ready rice

The only other things I needed to get:

Still air box - a box with arm holes for doing work with your bags and syringes and stuff to keep them protected from spores and stuff in the air . Can buy them for like $100 or make them for almost nothing, which my sister did for Xmas for me following this guide https://mycotown.com/still-air-box/

Supposedly for what I’ve been doing, you may not even need a SAB since everything is already sterile and sealed - but the number one rule of this is “you can’t be too sterile.”

Food dehydrator. They need to be dehydrated for storage. If they have any water left in them they will rot

Anyway, that’s about all I know! I find it uniquely rewarding and exciting. I hope to someday get into isolating genetics and using agar. If any of you ever want to try growing yourself, message me with any questions!

[tomatoluvr69]

how does a person score mushrooms :( when they don’t know nobody in the area :( and there isn’t a phish concert nearby :(

Omg the phish concert yasssssssss hilarious also fuckin what’s that shit called at dead and co…shakedown street? Might be a lead haha but I’ll put it below the cut

Semi reliable method:

1) find a stoner acquaintance (assuming you’re in an illegal state?)

2) ask the stoner if any of his/her/their/etc buddies have a shrooms habit, see if they can hook you up

3) get the contacts for the stoner acquaintance’s weed plug, you might be able to ask if the dealer sells shrooms or if any of their contacts do however this is iffy if you give narc vibes. Treating the dealer like a regular person helps with the narc vibes haha. Buying weed a couple times can help with this too

4) literally ask anyone you know who’s ever smoked weed, like in a chill way not in a Bay Area tech bro this is my 38% sativa/indica hybrid vegan edibles way, ask them if they know where to get shrooms.

Sorry if this is unhelpful, it does require a level of comfort and networking around drugs that I feel like I take for granted. I’ve never had to like seek out shrooms, not for a long time, I have friends who deal and grow and I’ve grown em myself haha. I could probably have them at my door in the next couple hours if I wanted and I think I have some in my dresser rn which just means I haven’t had to go through the process of finding them from scratch. But you can grow them yourself with little more than like $35 and the ability to read which brings me to my final lead:

5) grow them urself!!!! By farrrrrrr the easiest illegal substance to do at home, check out Reddit.com/r/unclebens

So sorry if this is unhelpful, I’ve just been in certain circles and lifestyles for a long time and access to drugs is way easier for me than it’d have been when I was younger. That being said magic mushrooms are one of theeeeee most profound gifts you can give yourself. HUUUUGE proponent here….truly they are the closest thing I’ve ever experienced to magic. What an insane, incredible, awe-some experience yayayay excited for you :-) if you have any questions about dosage or sourcing spores or anything lmk

Shoot for UncleBen

[loki-who-remains]

I’ve seen this (or probs yours) opinion in another post and started to question myself because I don’t really see it that way yet. And I don’t feel like the show points in any direction, because there’s Sylvie who is all about free will, B-15 who is on the same side but wants to use her current skills to help protect the freed time lines. Then there’s Mobius who still feels like he belongs to the TVA but doesn’t go looking for his life. And yeah, there’s Loki with his burden of wisdom.

I still wait for Loki to make his point. He wanted some time to think it through, he told the same thing to Mobius. And like, dude, go on, take a moment and tell us what’s on your mind. He never really decisively agreed to what HWR proposed to him and Sylvie. Do we have to assume he kinda agreed? Asking for a time to think about a choice isn’t the same as making it. At the same time, he didn’t try to stop the Sacred timeline from branching and he actively helped fighting Dox’s loyalists. He doesn’t try to take free will away.

He simply tells Sylvie that making a choice in given circumstances has its consequences. He basically unclebens here: she, as someone who has a great power and knowledge of what happened in Citadel, has greater responsibility than other people. She also has HWR’s tempad! And no one asks her about it, even Loki!!

Like with any authoritarian regime or dictatorship you can’t just remove the dictator and leave it, because the base is still there, any new dictator can quickly come to power. The other side of free will is anarchy, and that’s basically what Multiversal war is.

Loki is right but he’s also obviously the first candidate for the role of the dictator. Does he have the motivation though? He doesn’t need to impress Thor or Odin anymore, he has this new found family. He doesn’t give me a feeling of someone who knows what’s best for others and wants to act on it.

But then again, he needs to make his point. Otherwise his intentions and him staying there at the TVA are not clear.

Ok, to make it really simple:

Sylvie: 'detention camps are horrible, we should blow them up and built apartements instead.'

Loki: 'No, don't take the easy way out, we should just renovate the detention camps, put in new carpet, some curtains, they can be real cozy.

And if I become director, I'll make sure everybody eats healthily and there will be volley ball tournaments.'

Like, I obviously enjoy the show. I liked Loki in Stuttgart and I'll like him as a 'benevolent' ruler. I also care about the tva staff, the show did a good job with their characters.

But it's still important imo to be aware of the actual message. It does not have to go that route in the end, but that was the gist of the 'pie scene'.

People have been pointing that out already, but weirdly enough there are still so many takes completely missing the point. I don't get it.

Or am I missing smth here?

Like, Loki saying people might be in danger because of free will kinda goes against the concept of free will. Free will also means being able to fuck shit up for yourself.

Or is he just about protecting people from Kang?

I can't wait to find out how that will be solved, but right now it very much looks like in order to have people 'be ok', Loki will have to take a throne in the end. (Which he claimed he didn't want to)

Raphael x Parker Reader - Chapter 3 (TMNT 2014/2016)

It wasn't long before the police were swarming the building. The ambulance attended to Reese after you basically refused treatment until they ensured that he was fine. As he was being taken to the hospital to get checked out, he sent you a grateful smile. You just nodded, patting his arm as they loaded the van.

"Ms. Parker, we need to ask you some questions." you turn at the call of the two detectives.

"What happened tonight?" you sighed, that was a tough question. You could barely comprehend yourself all that took place. You knew for a fact that you couldn't tell them everything you saw, no doubt they'd call you crazy and lock you in the madhouse.

"There was a break in. I'm not sure how but I think he disabled the cameras, he was after some kind of flash drive. "

"This one." The male held the thumb drive in his palm and you nodded. "Yes! H-How did you get it. H-He fell out the window.."

"Well, that's what we're trying to find out. See the drive and your attacker was found handcuffed to a police vehicle with a gun. We ran his prints, turns out this isn't the first heist he's attempted. You're very lucky. Your actions saved not just yours but also Mr. Reese's life. This man isn't known for being merciful to witnesses." you swallowed at that. So he hadn't just been taunting, he really did intend to kill the both of you.

"(Y/N)!!!" You'd know that voice anywhere. You turned just as May came ducking under the tape. She ran over to you in a hurry, almost getting stopped by some of the officers.

"It's fine let her through." She approached quickly.

"Oh my goodness I told you this wasn't safe, are you alright, did that man hurt you!" you shook your head, and May hugged you, running a hand over your head in relief.

The males before you exchanged a look. "We'll let you go for now, you've been through a lot. " One Of them pulled out a card, handing it to you. "We'll be in touch. Try not to leave town for a while, we'll follow up. " you nod, taking it. "Alright, thank you." he nods, taking off with his partner. May still looks shaken, and you could only imagine what she must have felt when she got the call.

"I'm so glad you're okay, you have no idea how worried I was when that officer showed up at my door. " you grimace. That's exactly what happened when she found out about Uncle Ben. The fear of losing not just her husband, but also you, it's probably constantly on her mind. She's ranting now and truthfully you barely catch the words. Your eyes shift to the building you'd not too long ago almost plummeted off. The shadow standing at the very top catches your eyes, and you take a step forward. In a blink it disappears, and now you're just staring.

"(Y/N)? Honey are you alright?" you blink again, looking at her. She watches the look on your face. "Maybe we should go to the hospital." They've already bandaged up your palms, and you aren't really looking forward to being stuck in a hospital right now, especially with the night you've just had.

"I'm fine Aunt May." She appears to believe the blatant lie you've just told, but you know from here on out, she'll be extra attentive. So right now, you just try to focus on two things.

Finding out what the hell that was on the top of the building, and understanding more about the obvious but unexplained changes your body is going through.

Neither issue is going to be easy.

Reddit sub r/unclebens

something to do with the starches and stuff when it comes to growing, granted they're growing a totally different kind of mushroom than you are

I wouldn't suggest putting these in your salad or on your pizza. I would actually suggest avoiding them completely if you can, at least not unless you have a physician or mental health professional to supervise given your preexisting conditions.

I imagine it translates well into the mushrooms that don't make you see pretty colours too though, looks like someone is running a experiment with 'potato water' up the starch level some more I guess, so that would be why I asked about the rice bit.

But don't do illegal things like growing these, stick with the pizza ones.

By the way the mushrooms decided to grow upwards and into the bag rather than the place they were supposed to, so I had to cut the box and the bag to release them from their self made prison.

And now a few hours later they're visibly bigger

Mushrooms are stupid lmao
