    Lately Ive been fantasizing about just removing myself from society.  Ill probably never do it but it prompted me to wonder, do i legally have to have a name, an identity? If I just walked and had no ID, never told anyone my name would i be breaking the law?  Is it illegal to be a missing person?

    Just curious

     

    All i meant was if you wanna bail from society it's your choice. There is obviously a life to be lived without a name, id, bank account and all the rest of it, if you choose that path. The law, whether you take that into account or not is geared to bring you back from any of your fantasies. You have to have a name, Yes, but if your living isolated in the bush somewere what does it matter. 

     

    I live in a fantasy world everyday in my own mind and breifly check in to society for just long enough that i'm not reported a missing person :lol:

    Off topic, but it looks like we have a few southern Tas members now. Should we start thinking about having a little get together/plant swap? I've been a little jealous of these mainlanders having all of that fun. I guess we could include the northerners too :P

    You could probably kill 2 birds with one stone and have a get together on xmas day.... Your all family right? :lol:

     

    Just for giggles my Taswegian friends :wink:

    Nice rich soil you have there Average Joe. I see you believe in rich soil for your Trichocereus as do I. 

     

    As for me, I grafted a bunch of hybrid babies6.thumb.jpg.3be542eaf9195508ddbb9073c5ce704b.jpg today after I found a caterpillar eating some of my newly grafted seedlings. Check out the hole on the side of this cacti...5b88984b824f5_ateeatalien.thumb.jpg.aa1aa69bab957e6429484a04364f3ff5.jpg

     

    I like to give them a nice rich soil. I would assume this delays flowering in some cases but promotes a more rapid/consistent growth??? would love to hear if anyone has a similar philosophy

    I grow Lions Mane and make my own capsules from the fruiting bodies for myself and friends/family.

     

    Be careful with mushroom supplements made from imported Chinese ingredients, a few have been found to have high levels of heavy metals, lead, etc from air pollution.

     

    You'll also want to look at what the capsules contain. Most (including Host Defence) are made from myceliated brown rice, which is essentially ground up mushroom spawn and does not contain any actual fruiting bodies, cheaper to produce but you're paying for what is essentially capsules of brown rice flour with a small amount of Lions Mane mycelium.

     

    Russell and the team at Aussi Mushroom Supplies are getting close to launching their own line of mushroom supplements, would definitely recommend checking them out

     

    Thanks for your comment, that's the sort of thing i worry about when buying in capsule form. I just want the damn mushroom... I might look into growing my own. What's your experience with growing them in regards to difficulty?

    Host Defence (search ebay) is the company that stamets grow for or owns, and would be the most reputable.

    they have a high price tag, but when worked out on a daily cost it less than cup of coffee.

    I do not have experience in the usage but.

    Reishi is my mushroom favourite. i have been taking Reishi for over 18 months now and have

    not even sniffle this winter and have experienced many other benefits.

    there are some good suppliers of mushrooms in India that sell caps or in powder forms.

     

    just as a note when stated 13:1 or 10:1 extract, this is the amount of mushroom in one part of

    product. eg 10:1 = 10gms of mushroom in 1gm of product

    Superfeast here in Oz goes good:

    Haven't tried the LM, but I've given the Reishi a good knock. Wicked miron glass jars too :wink:

    Thanks guys, i did find a few blends with both varieties of mushroom. I will go with Stamets and drop a report in a month if anyone would be interested.
