Law enforcement officials came across a staggering find after being tipped off about possible drug-dealing: dozens of dog-food-size bags of psychedelic mushrooms worth an estimated $8.5 million at a home in rural Connecticut.

    There are a few practical options:

    • Eat them.
    • Dry them and eat them later.
    • Give them away.
    • Put them in jars, stare at them, and think about witches.
    • Sell them at a farmer’s market or local grocery.

    It’s honestly just a relaxing hobby once you get past the challenge of learning to do things under sterile conditions. My setup, for example, does not feature an expensive sterile environment like the one shown here. There was a lot of improvisation and learning.

    They’re really just fun to grow. Nerd shit.

    You can also experiment with breeding new varieties, or clone mushrooms that you really like. I haven’t tried that one yet.

      Other than working with plates, keeping clean environment is super easy. I have a small lab for plate work, but everything else just takes a few quick sprays of IPA and a wipe down.

      I have been slowly eliminating steps where I would re-clean my work area to see how long it takes before I get contam. I have only gotten one spot of trich in a mostly spent monotub when it wasn’t worth it to even use gloves to grab the final flush. (For lulz, I hit the trich directly with a tiny spray of Lysol to see how far the death would propagate. It’s quite far and not recommended if you plan on eating anything else off of it.)
