• Has anyone ever tried ordering thru southwest mushrooms? I placed an order the 22nd of last month and it’s been “ready to ship” for a while now, they don’t answer emails, and have no phone number that works. They had no problem taking my money though.

      Never heard of them That blows. I hate deceptive practices. Like we got enough bs to deal with in our lives to also have to worry about every purchase we make being legit. I bought soil for my cacti. I go to review said soil; poof! Even the url and email on the soil itself is disconnected. Didn’t take a month to go under…Now i wonder…

      • I’ve gotten all my LCs from Etsy never had an issue. Usually 10-15$ a syringe. All viable and sterile.

      • To anyone looking to expand their culture library. Check out “True blue genetics”, the shipping is phenomenal, super secure, and they even shipped with a small disposable ice pack, a handwritten note. And they gave me a phoenix oyster culture with my order of shiitake and cordyceps.

      • How do you store your cultures? In the refrigerator? Or in a dark cool dry spot?

        • I keep them in the fridge, whether it’s LC, agar or syringes.

        • I keep mine in a dark cubby in my fridge. I used some spores that were a year old and no problems. Much to my surprise.

      • Couldn’t be more excited right now!, I’m ready to begin my journey. My brain and I need to have a serious discussion.

        I’ll look forward to thanking you all in person next June, but for now. Thank you DGC, and especially to the ones that let me bother them with questions all the time. If not for your personal experiences, and knowledge, …

          • Yes. 6 months ago I got my first “fable”. Now I have 3, along with 2 big ass totes, a diy HEPA setup, a library of LCM, pour my own Agar plates. It’s become my current “special interest”. I’ve always got a couple of “chambers” growing. It’s been a wonderful journey.

          • Spawning two personal fables currently, one I used the whole 10cc spores from fruity spores and one with 5cc spores from Tanasi gardens.

          • Found a nice spot in my house to put a dry tent, I understand that 60/60 is the goal right? But curious to see people’s drying methods, do you pull the whole root ball instead of chopping when you dry? I’m pulling the entire thing, making sure they are dirt free.. Than let it hang with the root ball still attached for a few days, than chop…

            • Sounds interesting. Let us know how it works out. What the reason for keeping the root ball? More plant matter slower dry?

            • Perfect dry is 21 days under 60F/60%RH. Day 21 lower RH to 55-50%RH. Day 28 seal in container at 50%RH. 40ishF is perfect storage temp. Never freeze.

              • I think Mystro has something to add 😜😜😜

                • If you can control the temp and humidity without wild swings, then full plant will be a nice slow, even, dry/cure.

                  You might not need to do full plant if you’ve got it dialed in.

                  Never heard of keeping the root ball
