Well now......I have been digging deep to find a cheer up today because for one thing....it's snowing. Akky Cacca!
I just took a little look into my substrate and I see several tiny little shroom pins!

I had to look twice to be sure it wasn't birdseed sprouting babies.

Another friend report on the Blue Meanie's.
They said it was nice and clean, with lots of colors, laughing fests, and very relaxing with no after effects. They started with a couple of grams each (dried), and will be doing more next time. It started about 20 minutes after consuming, and lasted about 7 hours.
I am going to try to get some shots of the pinning today. Right now I'm "pucking" around making flower pucks to press Rosin.

How much did they eat?

They started out low dose, 2 grams for her and 3 grams for him. Said it was a perfect amount for a nice relaxed ride.
They are going to up that dose a little next time I give them some, to see how much more intense it will get.
I had supplied 6 grams to them.

I have to cook up some wild birdseed today, and I am out of distilled water. I can't use my tap water because it's softened. It would take days to make enough of my own with the boiling/condensation method. Do any of you see any issues using rainwater? Or snow.....seeing as the possible blizzard has started. 
Should be ok if you boil it. Maybe run it thru a coffee filter if it looks dirty

That's what I will do. It actually looks pretty clean, but I think it will be even better after boiling.
Looking good in there @Lady Cannafan
The way you are going, you may have to open a roadside stand.
Sell honey of course.

UPDATE: 1-9-24
The Ecosphere is back to work, filling up with goodies. I have the Blue Meanies that are growing in a dub tub now, the rest of the substrates haven't begun any pinning yet. I cover those with black plastic sheets from a trash bag to keep them in the dark while they develop.
I am maintaining right around 90% humidity just on the heating element that heats up the water in the lava rock tray.
I won't put the humidifier unit in there unless it looks needed.
There are countless pins in the Blue Meanie tub. It's looking like a decent flush for sure.

With my next substrate mixes, I'm going to keep about 3" of it in the boxes. I want to give the shrooms plenty of room to hang on below the surface for stability while growing up. The ones I have right now are not as deep as I would like.

I made good use of the day. On the shroom side, I filled 9 30ml syringes with my Tidal Wave liquid culture.
I used one that was about half full in 4 pint jars of processed wild birdseed.
Let's see how long it takes live mycelium to get going in the jars, as opposed to spore solutions.
I have two more jars of culture, and I hope to process one of them tomorrow. I'm out of the 30ml syringes, so it's going to have to be smaller ones. That will take some time.
I will try to get some pics tomorrow as well.
Stay safe everyone.

Power loss early this morning from downed trees. Snow was too heavy again. The only thing doing good in this house today are the mushrooms. They don't need electricity to grow.

The power was off just over 24 hours. House got very cold, I gave in to the cold and spent the night at a relatives.

Are the plants and shroomies ok??
- Thread starter

Shroomies are doing great. Much bigger fruits than the jar cakes, although the jar cakes were nice to start with. I'll try to get a pic as soon as I'm caught up on things here today.
Plants.....dunno. The light schedule got a full days' interruption, hopefully that won't make a big diff.
Just praying we have no more outages with the upcoming crap. There were 300 crews out there in the last 24 hours trying to clean up fallen trees that took out power lines. Weird thing is, there was only 3 or 4 inches of snow. It was just heavy azzed chit.
How is it going in Chicago @CaptainLucky ?
