Wife and I watched, amazing how intense it still is even remembering most of the movie. I did not realize it was the science officer/droid that said “perfect organism”! Movie still holds up after 47 years (saw when it was released) though the high-tech IT is laughably old. Still a great movie.
Bought a couple grow bags from Happy Mushrooms, wanted to keep as simple as possible even though very comfortable with sanitation procedures from my days as brewer & wine maker. Today was harvest day, didn’t do wet weigh guessing 50-60 gm dry. Since for personal research, wasn’t meticulous to get every bit of shroom. I did cut out as much fruiting body as I could even though meant loss of substrate (appeared to be grain, looked like rye, and vermiculite). They’re drying @120F. Soaked the substrate bricks 3 hours (tap water + hydrogen peroxide) drained and already back at work.
Comments?
My questions:
- do all the fruiting bodies need to be removed? Was worried about rot so dug out with knife to end up with clean block
- do the mushrooms need to be torn cut to even thickness? Lots of blueing as tore up/cut most
- does the bluing reduce potency? Read it was oxidation of the psilocybin
Greatly appreciated
