Cbenesch: Where to buy: expand Denver Spore Company, add PsilocybinMyco

What you need, organized by stage. You don't need all of it to start; the '''Essentials''' column is enough for a first monotub grow from a spore syringe or liquid culture.

Spores, liquid culture, grain, substrate, grow bags, and complete kits can be ordered from the vendors under [[#Where to buy|where to buy]]. Most of the general gear (totes, jars, alcohol, gloves) is at hardware and grocery stores. Items that are genuinely hard to find are linked under [[#Hard-to-find items|hard-to-find items]] below.

== Where to buy ==

=== Denver Spore Company ===
A Denver-based vendor run by owner Eric B. The place to go for '''grow bags''', which they keep in abundance, and for '''complete kits''' that include either spores or liquid culture, so you can go from zero to a first grow with one order.

* '''Carries:''' all-in-one grow bags, kits with spores or LC, spore syringes and prints, live culture syringes, gourmet spores, and bundles
* '''Order online:''' [https://www.denversporecompany.com denversporecompany.com]

=== PsilocybinMyco ===
A Seattle-area vendor run by Bass, a good friend of this wiki. Bass is known for '''clean, isolated genetics''': if you want a strain you can trust to be what it says, start here. He'll also make you a grow bag, but you have to ask nicely.

* '''Carries:''' liquid culture and isolated-culture syringes, spore syringes, charcoal agar plates, and exotic strains
* '''Order online:''' [https://psilocybinmyco.org psilocybinmyco.org] (contact him through the site for custom orders)

Reference/LiquidCulture/Recipes/ClemGrows

2026-10-22T15:54:20Z

Cbenesch: Copied text in image to page

Ok y'all here's my lecture for the day I'm sure most of y'all have heard me Nerd the fuck out about Liquid Culture.

* 300 ml distilled water
* 1/64 (very small amount) Light Malt Extract
* 1/4 tsp. Peptone (or nutritional yeast)

* 1 tsp Karo corn syrup

30 min pressure cooker sanitization

About how important I believe it is to be dialed af. How I believe my recipe is as good as it gets and the amount of work I've put into getting it dialed like this. Why I believe it's so important. I'd just like to show y'all and talk about it. Id also like to show you how close it is to teetering on the edge of perfection.

I have my recipe pinned in this channel so everyone has access to a reliable recipe. The recipes on the internet are shitty af. Will they work? Yes. But if you are gunna do it, why not do it great? The problem with almost all the recipes out there is they are way too high nutrient. You don't need that. You actually don't want that. All that does is make your culture lazy af and slow and it overgrows the surface of the liquid and turns into a shitty unusable like blob fast. It does not make the jar colonize faster.

With my recipe you will see in the pictures what I love about it. It is the exact right amount of nutrients. It colonizes fast and ridiculously thick. But once the jar is almost full, instead of just growing and growing and eating and eating, it basically runs out of nutrients. Not completely but enough that it puts the brakes on the growth. You'll see in the pictures it colonizes beautifully right up until it's about to reach the surface, then it stops. This keeps your LC hungry, aggressive, ready for grain. It also keeps it much higher quality. If anyone has done LC and didn't stir it for awhile you know just how shitty it can get quick. Mine still needs stirred, but about 4x less often as normal recipes . Once it forms Into a big blob up top it's hard af to break up, even if you do get it broke up it looks shitty in the syringe bc you can see the myc is different. And when it does that it's very very hard to suck up a needle.

Using the correct ratios and recipe is also how you achieve perfectly clear LC. This recipe LC is literally better in every single way. If you have received syringes from me you know how full they can be, without going crazy high nute. And it takes off on grain almost immediately.

The other thing I want to show y'all is how much of an art this is. Same as making agar, the smallest of changes make a massive difference. You'll see in these pictures, super clear perfect LC, then you'll see a dark gold not nearly as good looking jar. Both are same recipe. The thing with the recipe is it's dialed, it's at the peak. So it's the exact amount of nutes you need for a full thick jar, while also keeping the LC Crystal clear, not hazy, zero sediment. So if you add just the tiniest amount too much it will begin to decline from the peak. 1/32nd tsp too much LME and it's now hazy and has sediment. 1/8th tsp too much Peptone and it's amber and hazy. 1/4tsp too much karo and it caramelizes like a MF. Pressure cooking for 5 mins too long and it caramelizes. The measurements in the recipe are super important. There are ways you can add a very small amount more of each but it's difficult to get right.

I nerd out about this and as y'all know, I'm all about the "Pursuit Of Perfection" so I just wanted to give a full explanation and breakdown on LC, why I feel it's important and how to achieve it. If you are gunna make LC, why not make it the best LC you can! [[File:ClemGrowsLC.png|thumb|Liquid culture recipe from ClemGrows]]

== Some Notes from a first time making Sub ==

=== This applies to making standard CVG substrate only, other types differ ===

* The values for the amount of water to add is based on dried, compressed bricks of CVG. If you happen to get a bag of generic "Coco coir potting mix", it has most of that already in it. Reduce the amount of water by roughly half.

* Keep the sub warm for several hours and give it at least 6 hours to soak up all the water.

* If you accidentally put too much water in and its "soup" after about 2 hours, add 2 cups of coir and 1 cup of vermiculite then stir, let sit for 30 mins and reevaluate. Also, put it on low heat to keep it really warm and steaming. This will speed up absorption and help evaporate a little of the excess.

Cbenesch: /* File Compression and Extraction */

Linux is a growing and popular operating system, especially for us citizen mycologists, and unknown to a lot of first-time users, it has an extensive set of wonderful tools that can do things that are nearly black magic in Windows or even to the casual Macintosh user.

As a MacOS user, you too have access to most of these commands as well (surprisingly without having to pay an exhorberant fee to use them too!). Mac OS is based on an offshoot of the original AT&T Unix called BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), and as such has most of the core shell commands at your disposal.

== Pipes, Redirection, and Sub-shells ==

=== Pipes ===

Every process in a *nix command shell, and part of this is even implemented in Windows as well has three main input channels.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Standard File Descriptors
|-
! Name
! FD
! Description
|-
| stdin
| 0
| Standard In represents the input to a command, either read from the users terminal, or from the output of another command.
|-
| stdout
| 1
| Standard Out represents the normal output of a command. This is what normally gets printed to the terminal and is not an error or specialty message
|-
| stderr
| 2
| Standard error represents error conditions or things the program wants to display to the user despite if the command is being redirected or piped.
|}

Processes can be joined together using the symbol <code>|</code> (usually shift backslash). What this does is send the output of the left command into the input of the right command. This can be done an arbitrary number of times, building very powerful and complex text processing.

Example: List any files from December
<code>ls -l | grep -iw Dec</code>

=== Redirection ===
=== Sub-Shells ===

== File Compression and Extraction ==

There are two main compression utilities out there that can take a directory and compress it all into a single file, allowing you to move it to another computer, either in your home or on the internet, and then extract it there. Depending on the source or destination computer may make the decision as to the best.

zip/unzip - Compatible with Micro$oft Windows since Windows XP
tar - Compatible with Linux, or any Unix-compatible operating system, including macOS.

=== zip/unzip ===
==== Compression ====
The <code>zip</code> command packs files into a zip archive, which can be read on the host machine pretty much universally.
The general format is

<code>
zip [flags] destination[.zip] file list
</code>

Where the .zip extension is optional.
To zip a list of files in the SAME directory, you can use

<code>
zip filename.zip file1 file2 file3 ...
</code>

To zip an entire directory structure you can use the "r" flag and it will descend through the whole structure adding everything found to the archive.

<code>
zip -r docs.zip Documents
</code>

==== Extraction ====
The <code>unzip</code> command does the opposite of zip and extracts files. It does have a set of flags you can use in special sitautions, but there is really only one important one in every day use

<code>-l</code>

The -l flag says to list the contents instead of actually extracting the files.

<code>unzip -l zipfile.zip</code> Will list all of the files in the archive

<code>unzip zipfile.zip</code> Will extract the files from the archive into the current directory

=== tar ===

The <code>tar</code> command basically operates the same as the zip command but can provide multiple types of compression. It stands for "Tape ARchive" and heralds from the early days when computers literally had reel-to-reel tapes.

<code>tar [flags] archive [file1 file2 file3]</code>

The most commonly used flags are:
* <code>c</code> Create the archive
* <code>x</code> Extract the archive
* <code>t</code> List the contents of the archive (use with -v flag)
* <code>v</code> Be verbose (display the files extracted/added)
* <code>f filename</code> Filename to create or extract from
* <code>z</code> Compress using zlib (fast, decent compression)
* <code>j</code> Compress using bzip2 (medium speed, better compression)
* <code>J</code> Compress using xz (medium speed, good compression)

Please make sure to include a compression type when creating a tar archive. With no compression, it can take a huge amount of space with standard tar. Again, this is due to its origin in creating data for reel-to-reel tapes.

=== Working with a single file ===

Sometimes you may need to compress only a single file to reduce its size, like to transfer a video over the internet or something. There are several tools to do this with. As a general rule of thumb, the better the compression, the longer it takes to run. Although each command has uninque parameters that can be passed to it, in general the format is <code>(tool) filename</code> which will create filename.exstention .

When working with agar plates, a lot of times we see them with a T number, and you may have even heard the term "transfer three times". This page will demonstrate and explain the concept and method of the "3 transfer" methodology.

== Genetic Selection ==

One of the desirable genetics of any cultivable mushroom species is fast colonization. This leads to less risk of contamination of the growing medium, faster lifecycle from inoculation to harvest, and stronger mycelium.
