    tfw you're waiting for your substrate to to finish autoclaving so you can finally get your psilocybin biofactories running

            Having a large space can help, but you really only need a small plastic box, some vermiculite, some wheat flour, and spores

            edit: and also you probably want gloves and a mask and to be super duper careful with disinfecting anything that might come near your substrate

            edit again to add that buying spores online is legal in most states, and that there are sellers on etsy who have reasonable prices on spore syringes.

            For what it's worth, I do this hobby in a small flat with no issues.

    is this the pressure chamber that simulates conditions after the big bang and somehow makes amino acids?

      Uhm no, it's basically a pressure cooker used to sterilize lab material. It takes like 30 minutes to do its thing and then you have to put the wet things in a hot dry chamber over night so you can easily find yourself in this situation while thinking "damn I could be at home rn"

          Yeah that's a really cool experiment. And I always wondered "why they didn't kept the experiment going"

            The possibility of accidentally initiating life based on D-amino acids instead of L-amino acids?
