I am going to get into various aspects of Mushroom Chemistry to expand the concept of the Medical Mushroom Section of this Website, and I’ll get into Growing Tech also.
So I’ll Start with the kind of Simple Basics, there are 2 Main Psychoactive Mushroom Groups, how there are like the Animal and Plant Kingdoms, and it goes Down to Species, there are many Species and they fit into 2 Main Groups. The Reason they have any effect at all is because for some Reason these Mushrooms are making Chemicals similar to Things in Your Brain. The 2 Main Groups are Amanita Mushrooms, and Psilocybin Mushrooms. Amanita Mushrooms are the Alice in Wonderland Mushrooms with the White Spots on Red Caps, the ones Gnomes Live under, the ones associated with Pine Trees and the Christmas Season, Reindeer even eat them. These Mushrooms, Amanita Mushrooms, have a less Psychedelic Effect. Ibotenic Acid and Muscimol are the Molecules that give these Mushrooms their effect. There is some Chemistry behind this whereby if You take Muscimol You might actually get sick as it turns into Ibotenic Acid in Your Stomach, then You actually Urinate Ibotenic Acid and Your Body doesn’t use all of it. So there are People that eat Amanita Mushrooms, Collect their Urine, and they can drink it to get Full Effects, this Working up to 7 Times. There is a Culture that Watches Carribou, Reindeer, eat the Mushrooms, then they Collect the Urine to use, so they don’t have to get sick.
The Other Mushroom, Psilocybin, is the “Magic Mushroom” that Timothy Leary Talks about in the Merv Griffin interview, the one Sold on the Streets, they was discovered in Mexico by Modern Scientists but had been all over the World. These Mushrooms contain 4-OH-DMT, and some argue that it’s basically just DMT made Orally Active, but there are Differences. 4-Aco-DMT is Similar. And there is something Strange about the Chemistry that is done in these Mushrooms. In his Book TIHKAL, Dr. Sasha Shulgin says that he found that You could add DMT to the Young Mushroom Culture, to the Mycelium, and it would use the DMT to make 4-OH-DMT. The way he actually Worded it was that You could put in a Mickey Mouse, and it would produce a 4-OH-Mickey Mouse. So You can add any number of Things to a Mushroom Culture and it will 4-Hydroxylize it. There is also in one of his Book a List of Cacti and what they make. So Mushrooms and Cacti can actually both be used this way, and Things like Phenythlamine can be added, there are a number of Substances that could be used. This would be considered like using Precursors to make Things inside Plants, that’s what’s going on.
So now for Growing Mushrooms.
There was an Old Method called PF Tek, and many People still do this. You get Several Mason Jars, do the Sterilization (Pressure Cooker) after filling it with Substrate. You can Buy these online also. Then You get Spores in Syringes, which is Legal because You can study the Spores under a Microscope, You aren’t supposed to Grow them when You Buy them. But they are Legal to Buy because it’s for Research under a Microscope. You inoculate the Jars, and You Grow Patties.
The more Modern way of doing it is filling a Tote with Coco Coir, there is like a layer of Vermiculite, a Layer of Brown Rice Flour or seething like that, and Oat Straw, then like Vermiculite on the other side and Coco Coir around all of it on bottom and on top. So then You make a PF Tek Jar and Innoculate it, and then You Break it apart into the Oat Straw and Rice Flour. Then it Innoculates the whole Tote. And that way You grow like a Pound. The PF Tek is like 1 oz or 1/2 oz per Jar. The Coco Coir Tote is like a Lb. And once You harvest You wet the Coco Brick, You flip it over, and it Grows another Lb.
Once You are Growing You would also want to Collect Your own Spores, so You can readily start again with Your Own Spores. There are many Videos online for how to make Spore Prints. You keep everything sterile, and put it in Sterile Water in a Syringe, and that is how You keep it going.

I haven't been here long but man he was on point.
