Enoon, thank you for very much for your reply, and thank you for being the first moderator to welcome me to the nexus.
I now better understand the details of the rules, that information will help me to follow them.
Because of the fact that I am most comfortable posting from a public place, and I minimize risk while doing this by minimizing time I’m logged in long at my chosen posting location; I hope to not be inconvenient, but I’d like to ask some additional non-rule related questions:
1. Adding thread hyperlinks to my posts ?
2. Can you, or anyone else direct me in the direction of a thread that discusses how-to information on posting techniques such as how to do the following:
Add any text relevant, as little as 1 sentence first to a newly created post
Place 1 specific picture second
Additional specific text third
Add another specific picture fourth
And text to conclude the post ?
As for the mushrooms, thank you for the advice (this is my first mushroom growing attempt), however, I have already purchased them, and inoculated all of the mushroom spores the night of 3/27/13. I have attached a few images of the mycelium that’s now looking successful to my inexperienced eyes; I did not include the more numerous images of mediums that now show no sign of growth yet (old oak wood & within separate jars, cardboard). All the jars were previously used for other purposes; I simply rinsed with water, and pressure cooked for these purposes.
These pictures were taken 16 days after inoculation; inoculation was done just before solidifying temperature was reached- this is why the medium is dark (the spore syringe was dark). So far, malt-dextrose agar is the only medium showing growth, and to my inexperienced eyes those 3 jars look good and healthy; I have transferred some mycelium from 1 of the jars to newly prepared malt-dextrose agar, and so far I only see slight mycelium growth within the new jars, no contamination noted yet (4/15/13).
I may not have time to do a grow log for the mushrooms, but I’m using a TEK that was listed somewhere on the nexus titled: “Growing Psilocybe Azurescens”. I have read some very recent posts of yours that mention mushrooms, 1 links to a good liquid culture topic; I want to ask you “Can Liquid Culture work using the Psilocybe azurescens?”.
Even while I’m logged in, I’m prohibited form viewing 2 areas within your current signature titled “what is this” and “proofreading”; is this because I’m grouped as a new member? Please consider casting your vote for a full membership promotion for Cosmic Spore.
Again, thank you for your reply Enoon.
