Open vs. Closed Caps

Does anyone know of any difference in the contents of the open vs. closed caps? The closed caps are more domed and the open are more flat or maybe even up facing. I found at least one store that specifically sells both open and closed (flat) caps that you can choose. The same question would apply to...

Re: Soma's Return

I think I'll just try myself and see what happens. I'll try using small bits of cooked beef, LGG bacteria and dextrose in a few weeks and post the results using that growth medium and bacteria after preparing the decoction as described in the video. Powdered beef would be faster most likely. I'll lo...

Re: Soma's Return

Mcpato The primary concern of mine is not the starter, but rather the growth medium. I am trying to grow water kefir, but I have had issues with it growing. It is growing but seems slow and I am not very confident in my ability to get it to grow robustly. The first batch is known to start much slow...

Re: Soma's Return

I would really like to do a dairy free option because I really think dairy is bad for intestinal permeability and health issues, it could also contribute to indigestion in the immediate term after taking, which I would like to avoid. I do not consume dairy as part of my diet for these reasons. So, t...

Re: Soma's Return

If boiling does not destroy any ibotenic acid/muscimol, then I guess there is no reason to skip it in favor of just using GAD fermentation. However, if boiling does destroy ibotenic acid/muscimol, then the way to prevent the dried mushroom from going bad would be to start the fermentation process be...

Re: Soma's Return

I found a paper that describes the sugars which are preferred by Lactobacillus bacteria. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/016816059090007R?via%3Dihub glucose ⩾ fructose > sucrose ⩾ lactose > galactose So, using dextrose (glucose) should be ideal. It is relatively inexpensive as ...

Re: Soma's Return

How much ibotenic acid/muscimol is lost from the drying process of the amanita? Would making a tea from a fresh mushroom be many times more potent because of the lack of loss from drying? Sure it would mostly be ibotenic acid... But that is a moot point anymore right? From Tsunoda's "Changes In Ibo...

Re: Amanita Dreamer Has A Website Now

I have just discovered through some trouble shooting that the problem is with the "Dark Reader" browser extension / add-on. This is a very population feature which displays webpages in a dark theme since most sites do not automatically offer this feature. Many people prefer to have their interface a...

Re: Amanita Dreamer Has A Website Now

@amanitadreamer There is a problem with the website. The videos content loads for a second or two and then disappears. I cannot click on the yogurt video or any of the other content. Only the welcome video shows and the navigation at the top.

New Amanita Muscaria Corporation Discussion

This post is to discuss the video that was posted on 9-March-2021 about a new Amanita Muscaria Corporation. My initial concern is that Amanita Muscaria will not be accepted by the society if it is widely commercialized or made easy to obtain and use. I am afraid that there will be cultural persecuti...
