  1. Only just came back to this in my usual scattered approach. @Matt1208 Will see what I can do come the season mate
  2. Lol.. Took me back to the original, this changed some shit
  3. https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/114126427/sale-of-hallucinogenic-christchurch-cactus-sparks-international-bidding-war
  4. Hello and goodbye Asteroid 2019 OK (70 000k approach)
  5. Who are the "criminals " now.....?
  6. Been barely consistently cold enough for fruiting up north...When it should be. Only have stumbled across a few when hunting saffron caps, and they've been sparse. Maybe the boom is to come...
  7. Been away over the wild west while the lads been on holidays. Catching up. Fuck snow @Macca Lol.. I think so, have to check.. Woulda edited it... Maybe. Been off my game but. Edit - yep still about, will PM ya @Big Red Sorry mate a year back and claimed.
  8. I wildcraft a very small amount down here each year, can't access the area for a while though to source propagation material. Won't be heading that way until spring at least. If you can't get on more local give me a nudge reminder later Ron and may be able to help. The commercial industry uses a few select phenotypes that have been identified. So there is a chance of finding "elite" material that's higher in actives somewhere.

    Incense

    Uses and abuses of plant derived smoke may be of interest http://booksdescr.org/item/index.php?md5=2F658C9579BB7F2A3DDC418939DA2242 @Humbolt There is some stuff on incense making if you work out how to get about libgen.io
  10. Many thnx from a Facebook ludite
  11. Dunno the chemistry of this one in a wastewater stream. There is probably assumptions that the wastewater stream leads to a treatment plant.... Not all plants are equal... It'll behave differently in absorption trenches (or any on-site ww) if your out the sticks as the microbes will be different,and lacking some processes. The "assumption" would be certain bacteria(primarily) in the ww plant break it down... Lol... Theory and practice are two different things though. If the wttp is treating to a lower standard (common....) or bypassed due to exceeding what it can handle ( ie spill shit water out into the environment after rainwater infiltration ...) then I wouldn't expect as rapid degradation out in the wild. Residency time is a big issue in ww management, even when processes are available... They may not stay in it long enough for treatment if undersized or overloaded. Tassies ww treatment is fckn pathetic BTW.... Dilution is still the solution to pollution...With a bit of latent wild biodegration of some products. Jaded Fck stops now
  12. Was waiting to pick my boy up from school I can crap on sometimes.... Lol...
  13. I'm presuming it's a domesticated agaricus sp (bisporus?) . If so they are a shroom with a fairly demanding "diet" as a secondary decomposer (different than most edible fungi as primary decomposers which can breakdown cellulose and lignin etc). Typically compost from herbivore crap as a substrate that has had other organisms break it down initially("mushroom compost" that gets sold is spent agaricus substrate) . In part this may explain the slow colonization as the substrate may be limiting. Disturbance would probably be best avoided unless trying to get onto another substrate. Agaricus are not the best at recovery and not really rapid to colonize compared to other species like oysters, reishi... Compaction defo not good for agaricus. Best grown out in tray/open tub with a casing layer placed when set up to fruit, due to high fresh air exchange required. Once colonized the casing sets the mycellium up for initiation and best conditions for fruiting. You maybe could of cased the top of the bag to fruit, but fruiting off the sides like oysters wouldn't be overly productive. However the substrate would still be lacking a bit. Best way I've found has been the basic old mushroom box kit. Colonized compost substrate, supplied with a casing layer. I've never scratch grown them, only primary decomposers like oysters, reishi, Shittake.... Give a bit more time I reckon and keep watch. You didn't mention temperature and such, so no idea if you are anywhere near the window for good to optimum growth. Dunno if you that helps, I wouldn't expect a booming crop off a substrate not compost though.
  14. Has reduced separation anxiety greatly in this case... Depending on the nature of the "psycho" it could help or hinder though. The fretting and "sooking" has really reduced considerably, and she has reduced in vigilance and the verging on extreme guarding instinct. Will relax now when I'm about doing something else but can't physically touch me (over a fence etc) , which was the greatest period of anxiety. Still gets up in my face... Lol... But I can live with that as part of her charm. The only side effect of note was the amped up effect, which was initially noticeable and have dialed it back. There was no sedation effect (and wanted to avoid it) . Typically for me I get a bit amped, and then chillaxed to sedated. I still would advise caution though, as dogs just can't Scooby doo tells us what's going on it's worth a trial for anxiety, dunno about bitey dogs and such though.
  15. 'Tis HD.... But sadly it legacy pollution from the old tin mining days (this spot via bucket dredge) , high free copper levels in the water giving the eye pleasing hue. Devoid of aquatic life.
