Slightly off-topic, but not really - cultivating mushrooms is really fascinating. And those that hold magic offer an additional element of very special satisfaction. If you're looking for a new hobby, give it a try! It's easy to start with a colonized growth kit - you can buy those online.
If you like it, the next level is growing your own mycelium in liquid culture (basically in honey water).
If that works out will, use it to colonize your own substrate.
Then, you can produce your own (storable) spore prints from harvested mushrooms. Which you can use to create new mycelium liquid cultures. And the cycle can be repeated indefinitely, with tons of harvest!
- brokenmachine 2y agoDon't you need a HEPA shroud to make cultures?
- cthalupa 2y agoNo. A flow hood or air box helps but you can do it without. I'd recommend using mycellium to make a liquid culture vs. a spore solution, though. Less chance of contamination and faster colonization of your grain spawn.

- webnrrd2k 2y agoA morphogenetic field day, no doubt.
- xattt 2y agoI take this post with suspicion. I often see amateur mycologists that are very excited about their hobby. This kind of enthusiasm is exactly what I would expect from a fungus or at least someone who is under fungal control. I’m onto you, mushrooms!
