GA to Cali? You better have at least a half a gram of meth or a hotel halfway in between... or even one third or two thirds...

Laws in humanity= equals fighting for civil liberties and such
Cyber crime= threats against personal identity, hacking, cyber hate crimes, and possible drug transactions via the web!
I find this very interesting. I too am taking criminal justice.... however its not my class, I am taking it for my chik (its an online course)! Fuck, I am really accelerating at it... have a 98.9 percentile! I love to know my rights thats a stone cold fact!
Anywho, if you plan on taking on such a load its wise to know your determined before stacking on those bucks in the institutions faces...
Driving to cali. won't reap no mushroom spores for you... so stay far away!

Is it a cyber crime to misidentify yourself and get someone a college credit for a class they did not take?

Not a crime buddy.. i'm not assuming nobodies identity against their "will" or lack of acknowledgment of the fact that I'm assuming their identity online. If caught my chik is held accountable and worst case scenario... dropped from the class!
Roll out your tongue like the red carpet some more

Or I could just use my tongue to absorb some LSD and then use it to form words inaudible above the music at the concert on Saturday! Then I could use my tongue to taste some meat, potatoes, pizza, and sugary foods, the four main food groups, by the way.Not a crime buddy.. i'm not assuming nobodies identity against their "will" or lack of acknowledgment of the fact that I'm assuming their identity online.

My dad never told me stories about his drug use. My mom had delusions about it. Said he tried speed a few times. [Never smoked a joint in his life, my dad...] I told her, you know, I told you I tried weed a few times, but I've smoked a pound of the shit... keep taking that position... But I remember when I was 14. I had a pipe made of aluminum foil, and my dad found it and the first thing he said when he was done kicking my ass. [he really did beat your ass until he was done, and then told you what it was about] He said, Is it crack or meth?
Well anyways, for some reason, my dad found his pleasure in uppers, I really enjoy downers and psychedelics. I guess he puts all drugs in the same class... He tried one, they're all the same...

Those are the MYG kits at mushbox? I've heard their kits to well.
I am glad you guys liked the post, and hopefully someone will learn something.
I like the idea of more people out there understanding mycology. There is a lot of good that comes from understanding how fungi relates to soil and plants.
There are even fungi tabs available that will boost plant yields by up to 30% just by making better use of the nutrients already available to the plant.
If you use coir to grow your herb plants, once the plants are done, and trimmed, the coir/root system can be washed "to remove the salts" and the entire mass can be chopped up and used to grow cubes.
THEY GROW ON POT STEMS!
It is so cool. You can grow them both in the same room "although trich bacteria in the soil WILL attack your mushroom substrate so be careful. Recycle your herb leaves, stems, coir, back into mushrooms.
It's win win.

Are you asking about the ones in the pictures?
They bruise blue when touched or handled.
Trust me on the ID here if you were asking about my pics. I have studied and worked as a mycologist for over fifteen years, and I am very aware of what the different species look like.
I also love to smoke herb, and share information will cool folks so if you have any other questions feel free to ask away!

Though shrooms aren't my bag, I'm so glad to see someone experienced on our humble hallucinatory substances sub-forum. I'm throwing you a +rep, as I hope everyone else does.

Oyster mushrooms are fun and easy to grow. They provide a wonderful source of vitamins and nutrients to keep you healthy during cold and flu season. They can be planted in and among plants, flowers and vegetables to get even more nutritious food from your garden soil every season. With all the concern over industrial food production causing many new food born illnesses and viral mutations I.E. Avian Bird flu, Swine flu H1N1. These and many other health problems are a direct result of the terrible conditions these animals and produce are subjected to within their short, miserable lives. You can make a difference in the world just by choosing to grow some of your own food for you and your family. This can progress into soil filtration, erosion prevention, watershed protection, better nutrition, all with the use of beautiful oyster mushrooms! Here are some steps to get you started down the path to becoming a mushroom healing center.
The first step is to get hold of some fully colonized grain spawn of the type of mushroom desired. For the sake of time I won't get into the specifics of making sterile grain spawn, as it has been covered countless times across the internet. For a much easier method, and to skip a lot of costly sterilizing, I HIGHLY recommend just buying the spawn from a trusted source.
This is what my spawn looked like the last time I ordered some.
You can also buy your own culture syringe and either make or buy your jars in bulk. Either way, you will need some good, reliable oyster spawn.
Once you have a nice load of spawn ready to go, you will need a large amount of finely chopped wheat straw. I recommend wheat straw if it is as easy to find in your area as ours, but rice straw, and a number of other materials will also work. If you are having trouble finding wheat straw in your area let me know where you are at by responding to this post, and I will gladly find you a suitable substitute that is commonly found in your area.
Anyways, assuming you are using wheat straw, the straw must be chopped into small, roughly one inch pieces or smaller in order to colonize fully later on.
This is easily done using a weed eater inside of a garbage can. Wood chippers/shredders can also be used, but are a little more costly initially. If you can find it, I recommend a high quality weed eater replacement line, as the straw can give the standard line a good beating, and waste quite a bit of time in replacement time.
The brand I use is actually made from Kevlar, and simply does not break. Works great. Just load the can about 1/4 full of straw, place the weed eater head in the can, and a towel, sheet etc, over the top of the can to prevent straw dust from flying everywhere while chopping. A few minutes after whirling the weed eater around in there, check your straw for the right length, and repeat until you have enough straw for one full batch of mushroom logs.
Now that your straw is ready to go, you will need a large metal food grade storage container, or a large stock pot, depending on the size operation you are hoping to achieve.
I have fitted mine with a metal hose nozzle so that the straw water can be collected after cooking, and used in the garden. A five gallon buck it just placed under the nozzle, and opened to drain into the bucket.
Set your barrel up on cinder blocks, and place a turkey fryer burner under the barrel.
Line the barrel with a sheet large enough to hold all of your straw. If you are doing this on a smaller scale with a stock pot, a pillow case will fit perfectly.
Once the straw is in fill the barrel with water, giving the straw time to soak it up before considering the barrel full. Place a meat thermometer in the top center of the straw so you can get a good idea of how hot the coolest part of the straw it.
Once everything is in place, heat the water up to 165 according to the thermometer at a medium flame, so that the bottom of the barrel doesn't go over 180 degrees and damage the straw.
Be sure to cover the barrel to keep the heat trapped inside. We even insulate ours, to ensure a faster heating time, and less use of propane.
Once your straw is heated between 160-180 for about an hour and a half, you will want to drain your barrel, and let the straw drip until no more visible water is dripping from the sheet. In other words the straw should be allowed to drain for about a day, so that if you squeeze a handful of it as hard as you can, only a drop or two of water should come out of the handful.
After draining well, and cooling, the straw is now ready to be inoculated with our oyster mushroom spawn from www.spores101.com.
Just lay it out on a flat surface that is up off the ground such as a large table.
Once it is spread out, and you are sure the center is cool to the touch, just evenly distribute the grain spawn on the top of the straw.
Be sure not to mix it up too much or all the grain will fall to the bottom of the straw pile,
making it harder to get spawn in every handful of straw as the bags are packed.
Using clear polytube bags found at most shipping supply stores, and a heat sealer, one end of the tube is sealed and then stuffed full of straw/spawn mixture keeping the mixture as even as possible.
Once the tube is filled the other side is heat sealed shut, and then a small hole, roughly every three inches or so along the side of the log is poked through the plastic.
This keeps the tube from becoming anaerobic, and killing the mycelium. This is also why it is a good idea to incubate them in a clean, but warm, humid area.
Any questions so far? Feel free to ask away! I will continue to update with pics as the logs develop, and fruit! Hope you learned something.
