If you plan to go to bulk via grain-spawn (but without a PC) you may find this useful http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29943&hl=%2Binstant+%2Bgrain&fromsearch=1

Not having a diagnosis for the yellowing ... but I was under the impression that acacias are especially addapted for soils low in Nitrogen due to the symbiosis with Rhizobium nodules associated with their roots which fix atmospheric nitrogen, and hence fertilizing can easily have negative effects.

Just came across this http://curenaturalicancro.com/video-simoncini.html So as I understand it the theory is that cancerous growth is a defence reaction from the tissue upon "candida-invasion", hence treatment with an antifungal (bicarb, iodine). In video 3 patients are talking about their "selfmedication" (bicarb douches for cervical cancer, iodine application for skin-cancer-all went into complete remission).

At 1:28 there is a typo "seed(l)ings" and is it possible that at 1:41 and 2:04 it is meant to say "seedlings" instead of "seeds"?! apart from that great video

Of course you can marry a plant... the eiffel tower is taken already as well woman marries eiffel tower

The first thing coming to mind are Stockschwaemmchen (Kuehneromyces). But I remember as well that there were some look alikes...called "Schwefelkoepfe" (Hypholoma).

southernbiological go to pricelist and then search through it... IMO much easier/cheaper to make it yourself...agar from asiashop + dextrose + potatobroth

I think you might need this....

hehehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3cJ6xVkLuk

Those sachets/bags should be clear plastic @ bottom. But either way would not worry too much about it as total colonisation is best checked by squeezing the bag. Once colonised there is no movement of grains and its very dense/chunky.

What about reheating before consumption, just to be on the safe side. But either way I would not be too concerned that there would be any noticable side effects even if "some sort of growth" did happen.

Honey is not dextrose, rather fructose and glucose...however i think that mix should support growth. How much did you use, maybe the agar is too "rich". Is there any glossy/clear growth on the surface...cld be bacterial contam. I believe spores can germinate in the syringe despite no additional nutes only way to find out... inoculate some substrate. wait and see...

With LC I mean liquid culture (suspended mycelium). Fiddling a chunk of agar through the lill hole might be a bit hard. But if you have your agar dish just pour some water over the myc, scrape and suck up with syringe => LC. It also works (to a lesser overall % depending on the cleanliness of your sporeprint) with sporewater.

yeah sure i tried it...pics just taken I believe the rice is precooked and sterilised (via heat) so then those 90secs in the mic bring it to "eatability", make the kernels "pop" (which we dont want)...

My link I put all waste/change water from fishtanks into garden/potplants...so far nobody "complaint"

Did you dunk the bag after the first flush...sounds like the substrate dried out...

Thanks DC will take those VVV 20x loph w., 15x SS02/T.bridgesi, 10x SS01/SS02, 10x SS02/SS01, 10x T.peru rosei#1/unknown (all seeds) VVV

Whats that thing in the background...a mega-cap mycelium mutant, is it attached to the "growth" in the front?!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but i read recently Herb of immortality From page 50 onwards the production of ancient "wine" via grapejuice and A.M. mycelium is described. Emphasis lies on the fact of diluting the wine with water <<If Amanita Muscaria were really the source of the ancient wine, an extract would have to be capable of being diluted with water in a large ratio. To test this, ½ oz. of dried Amanita Muscaria specimens was extracted with 16-oz. grapejuice; the extraction lasted 8 hours. The straight extract was sipped and produced the usual effects; the amount consumed being about 4 oz. Then approximately 1 oz. extract was diluted with approximately 3-oz. water; this actually tasted better than the straight extract. Several ounces of the extract were consumed diluted in various ratios of 2 to 6 water to 1 of extract. To my great surprise, the addition of the water actually made a great difference in the effect. The usual Amanita Muscaria effects became instead purely psychedelic, very similar to Psilocybin or LSD!. This intoxication was much more pleasant than that produced by the straight extract; the dilution also seemed to increase the potency, exactly the opposite of every other drug extract on the planet, where dilution invariably leads to a weaker solution. Nothing in my years of researching Amanita Muscaria was as surprising to me as this transformation! It came completely unexpected and was a very enlightening experience. This experiment was repeated several more times with exactly the same result. The ancient emphasis on dilution was really a practical application of chemistry. I feel fairly confident in stating that Amanita Muscaria really was the source of at least some of the ancient wines. In trying to understand this transformation, I have developed a theory; Muscimol is a very polar molecule, I believe the oppositely charged ends link up and form long chains or other structures, I also believe these chains are released by the dried specimen into solution. Water is also a polar molecule and the sudden addition of a large amount of water breaks these chains into individual units of Muscimol dissolved in water. The long chains having the effects of the Amanita Muscaria and the primary extract; while the dissolved individual Muscimol units having instead a psychedelic effect. This would explain the apparent increase in potency of the diluted solution. It is only a theory; but it is the best I can come up with, using only observed effects, a chemical structure diagram of Muscimol and reasoning. This Amanita wine, after the addition of the water, was much more pleasant to me than anything alcoholic. In the ancient world this ability to be diluted and yet become stronger, would be another sign of divinity.>>>

Found these today in forest, growing on woodchips. First thought re ID:stropharia rugoso annulata?! Veil is still intact so cant say anything about gills or spore colour. Cap diameter of second pic 6cm, so not really the "garden giant" yet. Any comments welcome, Thank you! satyr

Oh No!...well guess you are both right...just cut the veil to find pores.

I just buy/use chopped pea-straw. Comes in the big compressed bags for 10$.
