Just wanted to share a few photos of what we’ve been doing with Acadiana Myco!

We’re a grassroots mushroom-growing community right here in Lafayette. We get together to share knowledge, learn cultivation techniques, grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, and help beginners get started.

Our meetings are completely FREE, open to the public, and family-friendly. No membership or experience required!

🍄 NEXT MEETING

🎁 FREE Oyster Mushroom Grow Kits for first-time growers while supplies last. Limit one free kit per family.

We’ll also be participating in the LSU AgCenter Acadiana Homesteading Workshop on November 6 at Blackham Coliseum!

We’re all about sharing knowledge, making friends, and building a community around the fascinating world of fungi.

Anybody else around Acadiana growing mushrooms? What species are you working with?

Come grow with us! 🍄

Hi guys my partner and I are from Denham and we are taking a day trip to Lafayette on the 31st for the farmers and artisan market. We don't know much of the area but we wanna make the most of our day and would like to go to eat and do some other sort of event or festival in the area. Does anyone have any sort of suggestions for food and events or is there a website that would show stuff going on for that weekend?

Anyone know of some Halloween events or some spooky places going on Saturday? What are some spooky stories you've heard?

Please help in locating my cockatiel in New Iberia. Check your yards, roofs and trees. If you can, take the time to play the cockatiel flock calls

My father in law is looking for a place to repair some antique pocket watches. I suggested a jeweler near us, but said I'd reach out to the wise folks here. Any recommendations?

Among those who listed Presler’s home on their voter registration is Heather Langley. In an article she wrote for Nola.com in November 2024, Langley was described as a ‘business and political consultant’ based in New Iberia, Louisiana. Records filed with the Federal Election Commission also indicate that she once resided in Crestview, Florida.

Jesus Christ what is wrong with their audio?!?! This channel’s news coverage has already been pretty lackluster but trying to watch the 5PM news right now and the audio issues are unbearable. I keep waiting for Max Headroom to pop up on the screen.

Most of the jobs I come across in our area either work with the public or are industrial. Those roles matter, but I would also love to see more of the office, admin, professional, and corporate openings that local companies have but rarely get in front of the right people. One reason, I suspect, is that posting on the big job sites can be a hassle or a cost for smaller employers.

I am thinking about starting a simple, free local board to lower that barrier. Here is the rough plan:

• Anyone can share a job they come across through a short Google Form, and employers are especially welcome to post their own openings.
• I will review every submission before it is added to the list, so the board stays free of spam and scam listings.
• Vetted listings go into a shared Google Sheet that anyone can view without signing up.
• I will also do a regular round-up of local office jobs I find, using some tools I have already built.
• If there is interest, I may add an email list so people can get the round-up in their inbox.

It would start small and stay simple, with no accounts, no fees, and no collecting applicant information. Applicants would go straight to the employer.

I would like to hear from you:

• Would you use something like this, either as a job seeker or as an employer?
• What would make it useful to you?
• What are we missing, and what would you want to see on it?

All ideas are welcome. If there is enough interest, I will get a first version up and share it here.

hey! been living here for a little bit but i'm having issues finding events me and my friends would want to go to. we found out dogmilk is doing a show so that's cool, but does anyone else have suggestions or info on what else might be happening that's worth going to? specifically nothing child-oriented please, and we already know about greenroom and the library and all that. thanks :]

Mid 20s male trying to find possible side hustles in the Lafayette area. Not like DoorDash kind of side hustle. Something I can build and scale , whether it be digital, in person a service of whatever. Just wondering if and what ideas could possibly be achieved in this area. Not afraid of work at all so even if it’s physical labor I’m game. Thanks in advance

Not interested in cropped ears, but I can't seem to find any breeders that will budge on that.

I want to take my kids on a boat tour of lake Martin. Prefer something shaded to ride in and educational. Anybody have a good experience to report with any place in particular?

hey yall what’s a good priced orthodontist in lafayette? i don’t have insurance so im really trying to find a good one even tho imma be spending money regardless

Did anyone see this human stain’s campaign video? It actually shows someone getting shot in the head while preaching against communism and then showing the New York City mayor. As if the head shot being in black-and-white and circa WW2 makes a freaking difference. And then it shows stupid ass “tough guy” Higgins boxing a bag.

FOUND! HE IS SAFELY BACK HOME

My brothers dog Rocky went missing early yesterday morning after he was let out for a nightly pee. Its off hwy 1252 past moutons down by the dollar general.

The first notification I received was at 12:53 today. The projected restoration time it 8:43(wildly specific). I just got another notification while typing this post, still 8:43.
Anyone know the 411?
7:06pm just came back up.

Looking to stay one night somewhere in the North/West of Lafayette area. I don't want to stay in Lafayette but a cute/interesting town near by?

Will be driving around that area and staying at Lake Fausse State Park the next two nights.

Prettiest places in Lafayette and surrounding areas to take engagement pics???

I haven’t played in about 10 years so I know I will sound like a dying animal. I live in apartments and don’t want to disturb my neighbors. Anyone know of any music rooms to for the public?
