    • Nice! Did you guys ever spawn to bags or did you always use monotubs?scarabin
    • From what I remember - mushrooms in tubs (large, like pics 2 & 3), truffles in jars. I know bags were a thing, but i don't ever recall going that route.Nairn
    • Small tubs in pic 5 would've been either 'exotics' to sell, or tests.Nairn
    • Is that grain you’re fruiting on? What substrate did the truffles grow in?scarabin
    • Can the three of us start a discord channel? I want to talk with both of you.imbecile
    • Fun :)i_was
    • eh, you still need to corroborate which account you are on the general QBN channel, imbecile - there're like three of you on there! :)Nairn
    • This is 15 years in my past, I can barely remember specifics, if you're looking for input. I'd hope that psyche forums would be much more useful than I here!Nairn
    • @scar - this is *very* vague memory, but mushrooms had a complex grain mix, whereas truffles were just rye grainNairn
    • I'm probably bullshitting, but - shrooms needed more care through their fruiting, so we ended up with a mix of small and large grains that would feed thru cycleNairn
    • Sclerotia don't need that. they need more consistency. Again, I may very well be mis-remembering.Nairn
    • I can’t believe it was legal. So awesomeGnash
    • tbh, by the time the top photo was taken, we had two guys working in a 'laboratory' and a lot of the specific detail was beyond my kenNairn
    • Aye, Gnash - we were deluded by times. Immediately thereafter Labour clamped down on everything natural which inadvertanty led to the Spice epidemicNairn
    • Cool, just curious. I haven’t raised truffles before.

      Hit me with an invite if anyone wants to discord      scarabin
    • I’m not a part of any discord channel, what!? I’m asking if the two of you can answer questions for me.imbecile
    • Yeah, whaddya need to know?scarabin
    • awesomemoldero
    • Where do you buy spores, what containers do you use, what problems have you encountered? I have a closet I’ve been thinking about using 3-4 containers in.imbecile
    • Yum. Feeling ... hungry.
      *Checking weather forecast.      islandbridge
    • I’ve seen spores online for “research”. I’m sick of buying and want to microdose indefinitely.imbecile
    • r/sporetraders for spores. Just remember you’re buying them “for microscopy” only. Mason jars or bags for inoculation, then tubs for fruitingscarabin
    • Biggest problem you’ll run into is contamination. You need a sterile work space (look into building a flowhood). Sterilize your tools, etcscarabin
    • PF Tek is the usual route folks go http://www.fungifun.…scarabin
    • (Their first time)scarabin
    • Cool. This is why I wanted the discord. You post your experiences, I don’t make the same mistakes. :Dimbecile
    • Sterilisation is everything! Which should be so much easier an assumption, given 2020.
      But it is a fucker. Buy a steam baby bottle steriliser, at least. 2ndhand      Nairn
    • ...wow.garbage
    • Kits are an option. Just add spores https://www.midwestg…scarabin
    • Or just buy truffles from NL direct :)Nairn
    • Or just have a cup of Azores grown Broken Leaf tea and chill out? It’s enough for me.shapesalad
    • Mycology is a fun hobby in itself, you can enjoy your tea while growing your own oyster or chanterelles :)scarabin
    • I used the PF Tek back in 1997 in my freshman dorm. Tripped balls.monospaced
    • I find it easier just picking them, though your stuck seasonally. Nice collection NairnSellies
    • Who wants to get in touch with the gods ? https://tinyurl.com/…i_was
    • I miss the days when I could walk down to my local shop and buy them, never had a bad experience, need to try the microdosing thing now.fadein11
    • I also used PF tek last year despite not having proper tools, like pressure cooker. I managed to grow in my second attempt. First one contaminated in the jar.Beeswax
    • Now weather is getting cooler I'll try again but forgot how I did it. If there's a group invite me in.Beeswax
    • Liberty cap spawns on fields/plains areas where bigger animals such as cows and deer poops...islandbridge
    • If the soil is moist enough they will start pop around the time when the first night frost comes.islandbridge
    • I wish they grew wild here!scarabin
