Trying to make lil cute felt dolls, this is the second one/revised pattern one. I think it's adorable

From one roommate's PC, my ARK server won't load. It has in the past, before the Gen 1 update. The other roommate's PC can join the server just fine, as well as people not in the house. So the server itself is alive and running

We can't figure out what to do to make it work. All mods are updated, files verified, tried a different steam account, etc. Any ideas what we can try to fix this?

My hair is very voluminous without any product, this is after washing and air drying. Y'all think teasing it would add height without needing to wash it? I wash my hair every 5ish days to preserve any dye jobs for as long as possible.

Had a neat mutation (or two) pop up in one of my tubs today. The caps turn a dark, deep blue upon veil break and the stem gets a tad bulbous close to the cap. I've never had a visible mutation before, definitely keeping spores from this batch for the next grow

I love trimming markings so much!! Second slide is before, first is after. She still needs eyelashes and some other minor details

I love the growth pattern on these. My own in-progress strain of psilocybe ochraceocentrata, able to fruit in straw as quickly and aggressively as an oyster. This tub's grain bag finished growing in half the time of the rest, and it's already colonizing the tub before I can even send the other bags to spawn. I'll definitely be taking the next round of spores from this bad boy

Located in Wyoming. The last several years, giant clusters of oysters and chicken of the woods and others have always been bursting. However, the last couple of years all of this bursting fungus has been reduced to these little clumps you see here. The last couple of years the weather has dramatically changed, much less moisture, more warmth. So my question is… how can I help propagate everything “naturally”? I mean, is there anything I can do to help the spores release or germination success increase? I understand the vast difference of growing mushrooms indoors where all factors are controlled…. but what are some ways I can help bring back giant clusters?? Help me prevent all these mushies on my evening strolls from disappearing!! Or should I just let it be and allow nature to take its natural course? The trees and ground used to be absolutely covered but now there’s barely a fraction of what used to be around. The deer, squirrel, birds, and of course insects all rely heavily on these mushrooms being a major staple of their food source especially in this area at this altitude. Is there a resource I could utilize to release spores on a mass scale? Literally covering multiple acres at a time? What would be the most cost worthy/efficient way of doing a task like that?

A couple of the girls in my colony have this metallic sheen and it's so pretty to watch

Been slowly making my own strain of ochraceocentrata, something super aggressive in growth so hobbyists can grow them without needing to be super careful, while retaining the 3x potency and good trip vibes of the NSS strain. I'm no master, just a shroom lover who wants it to be easy to cultivate high potency, gentle trip shrooms.

This is their growth compared to the commercial blue oyster, both started at the same time (April 28th). It'll be a while before the spores breed true enough, but the mycelium is outpacing the oysters in the grain bags EASILY. The batch I started this from is the same batch that grew on top of contam and isolated it away, and fruited 3x in a contaminated bin that I kept as an experiment. Trip from them is HEAVENLY imo, it's always been super gentle yet strong every time I and my buddies test em. 1.2g is similar to 2.5g of GT, 1.5g seems similar to a 3.0ish GT trip

Came across these huge beauties today, cloning them in agar to grow at home. First time working with agar and not just basic spores
