Colonized a bunch of substrate bags and doing more today. The Enoki are almost ready for fruiting. The oysters won’t take long before they’re fruiting. The Hen of the woods and how in the dark mushrooms aren’t looking too great. I know they need many months to colonize but i expected more to happen in 2 months from liquid culture. I’ll just keep an eye on it. Really wanted to have glow in the dark mushrooms for Halloween around the place.

I ordered a bunch of cultures I’m pretty excited to inoculate, cordyceps, black rieshi, shiitake, and lions mane. Something about watching it grow, is extremely satisfying. And the benefits are unmatched. I’ve been taking lions mane supplements the last couple weeks and I’ve noticed I’m able to focus on one thing rather than do 50 at once, and I have started to feel less groggy in the morning. Certainly worth exploring more.

That’s why I started to grow my own. I love doing photo time lapses of them growing but also the turkey tail, reishi, lions mane, cordyceps, Chagas mushrooms I’ve been taking daily and it’s helped motivate me more. Now that you mention it, I used to have severe morning grogginess and used to chug coffee. Now I wait up fully alert.

Yep that was my biggest thing, having to down a pot of coffee, which caused my chrones to hate me. Now maybe 1 or 2 cups of coffee that I can actually take the time to enjoy. And not shaking like a leaf all day. It’s little things like that, that add up to a big payoff. Thinking about trying mushroom coffee even.

Don’t bother with the mushroom coffee It’s all a huge marketing ploy to get people to pay ridiculous amounts of money for something that’s not even going to be effective. The amount of mushroom powder that they put on that coffee is minuscule. It’s not worth the huge markup. You’re better off Just getting some capsules from fresh cap for example. They’re a pretty transparent open company. Lots of YouTube videos about education and research. I’m going they have legit stuff since they talk a lot about other companies that use filler and tell you there’s medicine in there. I even didn’t experiment where I stopped taking them for like two whole months and then started again. The difference is night and Day. Like I keep telling people mushrooms created the world and mushrooms are going to save the world. They’re going to save us from all our plastic waste; hell they’re even going to save us from nuclear waste.
