You can't. The ONLY sterile spores are from mushrooms grown Invitro and retrieving said spores sterile is a roll of the dice at that.
Yea you don't cook the spores, you cook the agar and place a piece of gill on the agar after the dish is cool
I unfortunately dont have anything but shroom powder so itll be a mix of the whole bag of shrooms stems and all but its pritty fine powder
You can also look for a cardboard tek. You tear up inkless cardboard and toss it in a pail with holes on the bottom for drainage. Get the cardboard wet, add shrrom powder. Let it sit for two weeks before considering whether or not it has germinated yet. You'll have a bunch of contamination but you can begin to isolate a clean mycelium culture.
You can it a body high by just 3/4 a gram of any cubensis. A cube is a cube is a cube is a cube. So they're the same in potency. A cubensis is a good first timer strain yes. I started with liberty caps which was nice as well. Really it doesn't matter imo. Make sure there is no,vermiculite or substrate on your caps cuz that could cause an upset stomach during your trip, which isn't fun.
How do you tell if there's any vermiculite or substrate on it? And taking a eighth is ok?
This is vermiculite. Its a layered rock that holds water well. So its used in lab grown mushroom cultivation. When its broken down it forms sport of sharp sheets that don't digest well. Some growers rinse and scrub the bases of the stems and some, cut the entire stem stub off. Wasteful but efficient in cleaning lol
Thanks, its worked for me with shiitakes. I waited until I had a section that won the battle for substrate and made a g2g transfer into four quart jars. Although some yeast carried along for the ride, yeast lost its footing in the end and either went dormant, became symbiotic or died. .. I really don't know lol
You buy these? Bluing is normal for psilocybin containing mushrooms, also some poisonous mushrooms Lol, but if you bought them from a grower you don't need to worry about the poisonous types. That's a problem when foraging only. Yea they look super dank, probably cubensis since they have a veil, if they're cracker dry then .7g is a threshold high and 7g is a break through the atmosphere. 3-5g is a good place to start. Enjoy, oh, and I would suggest tea if youreya newbie.
