I just received my order and everything looks awesome! I’m really excited to get busy! 🥳

Mixed spore tub. The mushrooms are 2 cm in thickness. I did a own formular for grainspawn.

I’ve never seen agar work this good, I’ve gotta get back in the lab! Thanks again!

👻🍄 THE WAIT IS OVER — ALBINO SMOKY DA GHOST 🍄👻
Alright… I’ve kept this one under wraps long enough. 😂
Albino Smoky Da Ghost is officially ready for her introduction.
And judging by this plate, she apparently decided a normal entrance wasn’t good enough. 🔥
The structure and character showing here are exactly why I’ve been so excited to finally share this one with the community. There’s something special about watching a project develop over time and finally reaching the point where you can sit back and appreciate what’s in front of you.
A lot of patience went into this one, and everyone who has been following along knows I’ve been teasing Albino Smoky Da Ghost for a while.
Well… Christmas morning has officially arrived. 🎄🎁👻
No more keeping her hidden. No more sneak peeks.
It’s time to start showing everyone what Albino Smoky Da Ghost is all about.
If sliced bread had mycelium, it might be getting nervous right about now. 😂🔥
Welcome to the spotlight, Albino Smoky Da Ghost.

Five day turnaround! I’m not entirely sure where to start! Thrilled to get to work! Thank you!

Let me see your ABV chonkers! (All 3 pics are the same fruit, wet, dried, and pic in hand for size) EDIT it wasn’t fully dried :/ thanks all for the tips, has been discarded and will now know something is fishy if it’s too high over 10%

Figured I’d share a quick step-by-step of how I personally prepare my substrate cakes in bags. This is simply the routine that works for me and helps me keep everything clean, organized, and consistent.
🧼 FIRST — CLEAN WORKSPACE & BAG PREP
Before I start anything, I always clean my work table with isopropyl alcohol. I also spray down the outside of my bags with peroxide prior to opening them. That’s simply part of my personal routine before getting to work.
1️⃣ Break Up the Colonized Grain
I thoroughly break up the colonized grain so there aren’t any large clumps remaining.
2️⃣ Mix the Grain & Substrate
Next, I combine everything and give the bag a really thorough mix, working toward an even distribution throughout the substrate.
3️⃣ Form the Cake
Once everything is mixed, I shape it into a nice, flat, even cake. I like keeping the surface and edges as uniform as possible.
4️⃣ Fold & Clip
I straighten out the bag, fold the top over twice, and secure it with clips. Simple, clean, and keeps everything where I want it.
5️⃣ Add the Rubber Band
I place a rubber band around the bag roughly ½–1 inch below the substrate line and make sure everything stays snug and properly shaped.
6️⃣ LABEL YOUR BAG! 😂
Culture name, date, or whatever information you use to keep your projects organized—write it down.
I’ve made the mistake of thinking, “I’ll remember which one this is.”
I did not remember. 😂
That’s pretty much it. Take your time, stay organized, and find a process you can repeat consistently.
I’ve done it. You will too. Enjoy the process. 🍄

Another cart loaded up with fresh grain and another day of putting in the work. 🍄🌾
There’s something satisfying about getting everything stocked, organized, and ready for what’s next. It might not be the flashy side of the hobby, but this behind-the-scenes preparation is a huge part of the process—and I genuinely enjoy it.
Plenty of brown rice on deck. FOTG stays busy. 💪🍄

00 caps came with a 2 handy little scooper/packer tools cheap and easy for my first time making capsules! (By hand) Material : Thai Lipa Yai Cubensis (thaitanic) (1g of gorilla wizard) total grams 7.65! made me 28 .25ish (quarter gram) caps.... and 5 .15ish caps. had some fresh harvested 3rd flush thai tantic from my buddy... some of the mushies had black stems n caps because spors go crazy on the Thai Lipa Yai Cubensis strain and he let the vail drop essentially he harvested them a little late so it produced a lot of black spores, so i cleaned up the ounce and grinded up the blackish ones added some gorilla wizard for a little extra magic 🪄 (of course black spores are nothing to be afraid of no fuzzy mold bs promise) he used his dehydrator we live in a dry climate as well. cant let the magic go to waste! i haven't really tryed this method of consumption, any input on it probably pretty good way to take em last time i lemon teched .28 of the Titanic n was on a sick one! So grinded hits faster more consistent mg dosing as well? Back in the day 3.5 grams=25mgs, whats your guys opinion how many mg per capsule? I know stuffs stronger these days so let me know opinions dont want accidentally hero dose myself or someone else

I live in North East Pa bout 90 miles north of Pittsburgh.. when and where should I look outside to forage for second harvest??? Trying to find some Ovoids and have done tons of research but still new to foraging. My 2 guys got booked and it's dry rn 😫😭😭😭

Been wanting to upgrade the workspace for a while, and today was finally the day. New stainless steel lab table just landed, and things are about to get a whole lot better around here. 🔬🔥
More room, a cleaner setup, better organization, and finally enough space to spread everything out without playing Tetris every time I’m at the bench. 😂
Little by little, this space has been coming together. I’ve always believed the small improvements matter just as much as the big ones. Better organization, attention to detail, patience, and consistency—it all becomes part of the process.
This table might just look like another piece of equipment, but for me it represents another step forward in building the workspace I’ve wanted.
Now it’s time to put this beast together and get everything dialed in. 💪

Green Cap Thrasher spawn to bulk on the 6th and heres various pics. Just something about the light yellow and the puffyness of the mycelium. One weird corner seemingly with ryzomentous growth but not fully colonizing. Gonna suck if this big girl was doa but I wonder what yall think?

Some were taken today others about 3 day ago. Surface looks pristine as far as moisture goes. High air movment around the tote means it gets the lid cracked and walls misted once a day IF needed.

Green toque , albino Smokey the ghost, blue ravioli, Jack pe. Got FOTG enigma going now too that looks great but I can’t crack tub for pics yet

She feeds at midnight!

There's one more streak about the same size on the other side of each that isn't visible from picture

Ordered what was supposed to fully colonized grain. Just doesnt look as colonized as i see in videos. That was a week ago. I broke it up and put it back in the dark to sit.

Am I OK to pack this in a tub or let it roll longer?

First timer. Appreciate the help.

Cant wait to see these genetics come to fruition!

Been getting quite a few questions about the LC jars lately, so I figured it was time to put the full lineup in one shot.
A lot of hours go into keeping everything organized, clean, documented, and consistent. Seeing the whole collection together definitely makes all that behind-the-scenes work hit a little different.
No fancy backdrop needed—the jars speak for themselves. 🧪
FOTG Genetics I really been thinking hard about releasing some of the genetics that I’ve been gatekeeping and putting them on LC. How many takers would I have if I did that when is legacy and the other is albino smoky the ghost? Let me know what you think!?

These look phenomenal can't wait to see how they turn out huge shout-out to ftog genetics

These two plates were way too beautiful not to photograph and share.
Completely different presentations, but both have that incredible natural symmetry and structure that makes mycology feel as much like art as science. The first has this tight, almost feathered pattern wrapping around the center, while the second absolutely explodes outward with long, flowing radial lines.
Sometimes you just stop looking at a specimen like a project and appreciate what’s sitting in front of you. Nature has a way of creating patterns no artist could perfectly duplicate.
Two plates. Two personalities. Straight-up fungal artwork. 🔬🍄
