20191116_130552.jpg Ok its looking pretty ok, not the best specimen ever, but it will still serve its purpose! Ideally it would be pretty uniform growth all around. Notice the fleece has been growing more fully in the center? The fleece is done with the edges, probably because it dried out. When th...

Yep T36 , you gotta embrace the contam! At least at first! Think of it this way, between your environment and the Amanitas themselves you're using as an innoculant, (which WHO KNOWS what they picked up while growing out in the wild, right?) You're DEFINITELY going to be growing a smorgasbord of yumm...

IMG_20190424_235219.jpgHi! My name is Nick. I'm 29 and have been on this Amanita journey for two years this past September. I'm super excited to get to know all of you and to learn from you all. I also would love to share my own story and how Amanitas have saved my life and helped me to become the ...

Wow! I never would have even thought of trying that! Thank you so much! So... Do you think a large volume of water drunk before hand would have a different effect vs drinking water after consuming?? I haven't noticed any real difference in effect, but the times I did try to drink lots of water befo...

I agree with everything that had been said so far and would like to add my own personal experiences to the discussion. I agree that the fleece has been determined to be primarily a mucor, possibly more than one species. I have personally experimented with drinking liquid that has been sitting in a ...

Unfortunately no matter how much more I smoked it didn't get any stronger. Hi! I've personally noticed that the only thing that makes the fleece stronger (even when smoked) is to drink lots of water. And by lots, imagine you think you are sick and are trying to flush something out of your system. F...

Nice! Is that ground amanita powder I see on top? So beans MAY go bad sooner than say, barley, BUT, watch for wrong colors and smells, and perhaps most importantly just get some black spores going. If you do that, your next batch mixed thoroughly with those collected spores will grow very quickly! Y...

20191115_143430.jpg I'm glad I decided to wait, because the hyphae of my mucor really shot up! I was planning on eating it today but the other half still needs time to catch up to this side. Seeing this today was a pleasant surprise! And it made me realize I processed my last batch a day or two ear...

20191114_132359.jpg Just look at this plate of mouth-watering MOLD! This was made from a can of low sodium black beans that I just rinsed a bit with of tap water and and plopped on plate! For growth I used a sliver of my previous batch. This batch is a little dryer than the last, but I think it'll ...

If you want the fleece, you gotta get it from it's source. The Amanita Muscaria mushroom! 🍄 (side note, you can apparently also grow variants of the fleece from other amanitas such as the Pantherina, but its a little bit different. Idk i haven't grown it yet. Supposedly its more silvery colored, mor...
