    I'd recommend trying any methods that don't require a pressure cooker. Your best bet is uncle ben's or broke boy tek.

    This is a good place to start.

    If you followed proper sterile procedures, used a SAB, and if you got the MSS from a reputable source, it's not uncommon. Congrats! Great start! I always wait for the mycelium to colonize the top of the agar before making transfers

    Maybe they don't have formal training, or live in a country where those jobs are unavailable.

    Uncle Ben Tek imo, some people dislike it, but it's the easiest and cheapest way to start without a pressure cooker. Check out the link to 90 second mycology in the sidebar.

    Oh, you're talking about senescence. New growers are always concerned with it. G2G transfers are generally good to do about 3-4 times, could be more depending on the genetics and the quantity of grain spawn.

    This one is my second G2G, it should still fruit nicely, but next generation I'll probably start from spores again.

    It was actually a grain to grain transfer but yeah you're correct, I started with mycelium and not spores.

    Sounds like you're just getting to the exciting part! Share some pictures if you can, I'd love to see!

    I'm completely in favour of including all mushrooms of psychedelic nature
