Hey there guys, gals, and non-binary mycopals!

Mycothaotix here, and this shall be my first post on my new, separated tumblr-blog. I was not able to respond to reblog questions and didnt have a way to impliment 'ask's on my previous blog (now titled: 'mycochaos-oldacnt-plzfollownew).

I have some visible old posts under the #mycochaotix tag that I usually use for all posts (and plan to continue to use).

I consider myself a Non-Binary, they/them/he/him mycophile and have started researching and cultivating in late 2021. I also serve as a moderator on the Contamination ID and Myco-advice subreddit r/ContamFam. On that platform, I am known as the Trich Hunter. I have a passion for studying all types of contamination (in addition to primarily researching basidiomycete fungi) because I believe that learning from failures and understanding what to avoid in research efforts are crucial for personal growth and reducing occurrences of contamination.

Please follow for more!

Message me on IG or Reddit with any questions; or to share your mycology successes and failures! 🍄 u/Dry_Cardiologist8370 IG: myco_chaotix Tumblr: myocochaotix

Shout out to, and reblog to showcase, beautiful black and brown mycophiles!!!!

hello!! I just found your blog and I think it’s hella cool, and I just wanted to ask - do you watch BlackForager? I love her channel and she does a lot of cooking with mushrooms

Thank you so much!!

I haven't heard of BlackForager. I assume that's a Tiktok? (which I do not have 😬) Maybe I'll steal a Tiktok-using cousin's phone and look it up over the holidays 😂

Golden HaloX spore printing :) !!!

@mondayhares yes! Ty for saying so! I took these genetics out of a year cold storage just to get some fruits and make prints. I have another tub of them coming in for me to do golden swabs ^_^ haha. This variety is special for the golden brown spores! Many Cubensis usually will have black spore prints! The P. natalensis i posted in recent weeks are purple/black ^_^

Spore printing Psilocybe Natalensis caps - prints over 18 hours; will post pics of the tub next (waiting for the pics to transfer to my PC lol).

Ethnogen explosion

First tub, quick to mature and sporulate!

Check my instagram for my current content and contact! Will trade and sell spores (where legal)!

P Natalensis isolate! Double layer rhizo mat! Quite interesting morphologically!

My neighbor has a beautifully flushing flower bed of pleated ink caps! Parasola plicatilis!

What a beautiful distribution and density of fruit bodies!

u/kalikushkid followed me then unfollowed me after watching my most recent reel where i say hello to ‘guys, gals, and nonbinary mycopals”—— If you have a problem with my intentional inclusion of non binary mycopals in my content, your do not deserve to be connected to me to share in my knowledge and generosity.

Mushroom growers must be vigilant about protecting their mushroom crops from a variety of contaminants that can affect the health and quality of the mushrooms. Some common contaminants that mushroom growers need to watch out for include:

Pathogenic bacteria: Certain types of bacteria can cause disease in mushrooms, leading to reduced yields and lower quality mushrooms.

Fungal pathogens: Fungi, such as molds and yeasts, can also infect mushrooms and cause diseases. These pathogens can be transmitted through contaminated substrate, water, or air.

Pesticides and chemicals: Mushroom crops can be sensitive to certain pesticides and chemicals, which can be harmful or toxic to the mushrooms. It is important for growers to use only approved pesticides and to follow proper application procedures.

Vertebrate pests: Pests such as rodents and birds can damage mushroom crops and transmit diseases. Mushroom growers may need to take measures to prevent these pests from accessing the growing area.

Human pathogens: Some types of mushrooms can harbor human pathogens, such as E. coli, if they are grown in contaminated substrate or water. It is important for growers to follow good agricultural practices and to properly sanitize all equipment and materials used in the growing process.

To protect their mushroom crops from contaminants, mushroom growers must follow good agricultural practices, including using clean and sterile materials, properly sanitizing equipment, and regularly monitoring the growing area for signs of contamination.
