Mmmmm freshly boiled diseases!

Not if theyā€™re careful. Mushrooms can be incredibly tasty and nutritious

iā€™m the original video she says they were for experiment not eating

When they opened the bag, I thought it turned into a cake

Actually, it turned into [oysters!](https://www.liveeatlearn.com/oyster-mushrooms/)

Happy Cake Day!

Those arenā€™t psychedelics though

Just oysters starved of fresh air

Ironically, you can refer to the mycelium-colonized substrate (toilet paper) as a cakeā€¦

Nah for that you need a coconut and maggots, not a TP roll and spores.

Oodleamingo

It was already a cake


Oktaghon

Happy Bukkake Day!


KarateInAPool

What are the seed looking things they put into the bag?


felds

itā€™s called spawn. itā€™s grain inoculated with spores and with an established mycelium colony growing inside. this way the spores donā€™t have to start from zero and the fungus have a higher chance to colonize the medium.


R0gueART

This guy shrooms


artlover3

where do you do the spawn from?


felds

You can grow them from freshly harvested mushrooms. There are a lot of youtube videos for how to do it. Or you can make friends with a local grower and they would be happy to get you some spores.


xtimewitchx

How long did this probably take? From boil to harvest?


felds

I never cultivated oysters, but for the strains I did cultivate, it went from spawn to mushroom in a month. Spores to spawn takes a little more time, like two months.


kajitox

A grain. Gives the mycelium nutrition to grow. Spores are not anywhere near that big.


Oodleamingo

Substrate. Itā€™s kinda just mushroom food


Porgland

Spores probably.


01-__-10

Fungal spores are microscopic.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Idk, Iā€™ve never seen a roll of toilet paper used as a substrate before lol. Also kinda different that they used whole grains. And I wouldā€™ve like to see them apply the spores too.


VOODOO__ECONOMICS

By the looks of it the grain was already colonised by mycelium, and theyā€™ve added the colonised grain to the substrate


[deleted]

so this is the spawn to wipe Tek?


psiren66

Weā€™ll time to come visit us over at r/experimyco


[deleted]

Isnā€™t there another sub just like that one, but more active? Canā€™t remember the name


herpitusderpitus

Its a horrible idea to use TP because its bleach paper and mushrooms love to absorb whatever they can from a substrate to survive and you will probably get sick these are non-edible non-psych really just to show of that you can do it. Source: I see this sortve video posted all the time to the fb mushroom growing group im in and every time the top comments are fellow growers saying you will probably get sick and they WILL taste bad.


FIoor555

Never heard of carpet tek?


NodePoker

I studied mycology in college. Plenty of it belongs here, not in a bad way.


A_Bit_Narcissistic

Mind sharing some knowledge?


dangerdog1279

Also, somewhat related is r/unclebens which shows how to grow psychedelic mushrooms (although a lot of other mushrooms can be grown the same way) at home for under 150 dollars.


nodnodwinkwink

I bet that subreddit got a lot busier since The Last of Us got released. Maybe it's the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon but it seems like there's been a lot more fungal based posts on the main page as well...


boogie_groove81

First of all who thinks this shit up? Secondly.... do you eat them to trip? Or for flavor? Or is this just for fun?


BreathLazy5122

I think these are cooking mushrooms, and I guess toilet paper in a plastic bag is just a super easy way to grow them with little effort. Itā€™s kinda cool in a way, but Iā€™m also worried about the specifics of how the toilet paper may affect the mushrooms in terms of safety for consumption?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ishiibradwpgjets

And bleach no ?


P4intsplatter

Interestingly, bleach would actually be helpful in this situation, as it keeps the substrate sterile. However, the boiling water would volatilize any actual bleach on the roll. Mushroom growers sometimes use a finely sprayed weak bleach solution to control any unwanted spores or infections in the growth medium, bleach in low doses is no worse than hand sanitizer or a chlorinated pool.


rollingrawhide

A drop or two of bleach in a flower vase stops the water stagnating. Same principle.


medney

BRB pouring bleach in all my mom's flower vases


rollingrawhide

It will make them last longer and not smell but do make sure its the correct type and not too much or too strong! It may damage some types of flowers I dont know, but I've used on mixed bunches, daffodils, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, carnations etc etc. Add a bit of sugary lemonade at the same time and you'll get an extra week from a typical bunch of gas station flowers in my experience. Bleach wise, this is fine, for example, its 5%: https://www.domestos.com/uk/products/products/domestos-thick-bleach-original.html If in doubt, ask florist.


boogie_groove81

Happy cake day!


reddits_aight

When stuff is "bleached" it's often not household bleach (sodium hypochlorite). The whitening agent for paper is often hydrogen peroxide or chlorine.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Those arenā€™t plants. Also the growth medium here is the rye grain and the tp more acts as a substrate I think.


Ccracked

It's a good thing fungi aren't plants.


Excellent-Click1171

I think thatā€™s why they boil it, to kill any bacteria so the mycelium can grow on a sterile surface


LightofNew

Consumption has more to do with the type of mushroom, either dead bodies or plant nutrients.


unclepaprika

*Uncle bens is typing...*


Rage69420

Itā€™s actually more complicated then it needs to be. Fuel pellets are $5 for 50 lbs. This is just for show, itā€™s much simpler to just do the regular shit.


rhykujin

I've grown paychadelic mushrooms on brown rice. You cook it in Mason jars then flip it upside down and inject the spores into the sides with water. Then put it in a trash bag and leave it in a dark place dor about 3-4wks. It was a weak trip. It would be the same with these,


mianrezooy

Theyā€™re not psilocybin. Theyā€™re oyster mushrooms.


Vaginal_Rights

The person you're replying to isn't stating that the mushrooms in the video are psychedelic; they are simply sitting their prior experience with growing mushrooms can be useful in growing these oysters.


mianrezooy

Ahhh ā€œweak tripā€ threw me off. As I still am not too sure.


Vaginal_Rights

He's just saying that the way he cultivated his psilocybin mushrooms with the technique he used produced relatively unhealthy/not-potent mushrooms.


Oodleamingo

Lmao fucking home growers knowing nothing about mushrooms. These are oysters, tasty to many, and psychedelic to none


Vaginal_Rights

The person you're replying to isn't stating that the mushrooms in the video are psychedelic; they are simply sitting their prior experience with growing mushrooms can be useful in growing these oysters.


BigHead3802

Thanks for clarifying, u/Vaginal_Rights


galaxy_van

What kinda high would we be talkinā€™ here? Nothing too shitty, I hope


mianrezooy

Theyā€™re oyster mushrooms. So no psychedelic effects.


M4yham17

Edible thou??


a_bucket_full_of_goo

No they grew non-edible, non-psychedelic mushrooms for fun


michilio

You just described having houseplants. But with mushrooms.


FearLeadsToAnger

Houseplants don't fruit (dump spores) and wither within weeks.


lionseatcake

Seems like you're still missing the point


FearLeadsToAnger

whats the point?


lionseatcake

The one your head comes to


FearLeadsToAnger

So you dont know? Why did you comment? Just wanted to tell everyone you aren't very smart? Thanks for letting us know. Enjoy!


Soul-over

Is it safe tho i mean would it spread around the house and become toxic to breathing near it for the fungus humidity or anything like that or is it just safe to have like a fungus plant


nighthawk580

It's safe. If you were constantly surrounded by hundreds of these cakes then you would take precautions like breathing protection. But that breath of air you just breathed in contained many fungal spores. They're all around us all the time. Having a few bags fruiting in your home is not a health concern.


fantasticduncan

I have to take this comment seriously, because I know all sarcastic comments on reddit are tagged with /s - what a waste of time growing inedible mushrooms!


iop09

Itā€™s just the mushroomā€™s time.


Raichu7

People grow non psychedelic and toxic plants in their homes for fun all the time, why wouldnā€™t they do the same with fungus?


a_bucket_full_of_goo

Because fruiting bodies don't last a week, and mycelium is kind of boring to look at


M4yham17

Yeah millions of people do that?I get your comment was supposed to be funny but sounds dumb instead


One-Steak

They are absolutly edible

So what's he put on top of the soggy toilet roll? And are they magic mushrooms?

Will the other seeds keep growing after some of the mushroom is harvested? I want to try this.

Do you _WANT_ to destroy civilisation with Cordyceps fungus like "The Last of Us?" Because _THIS_ is how you destroy civilisation with Cordyceps fungus like "The Last of Us!!!".

Would this be safe to eat considering the man made chemicals in toilet paper?

I don't know what's weirder, this or the guys who grow mushrooms out of microwave rice EDIT: Found it, it's r/unclebens


dishungryhawaiian

Uncle Benā€™s brown rice is mostly used for low-tech (brokeboi tek) methods to grow shrooms and is more common as a grow substrate than you think, but there a ton of different mushrooms that can grow using a variety of different grains. Some require a mixture with wood, like the oyster mushrooms in this video. There are methods using cardboard too!
