The general idea is to create a substrate that serves as both the food and housing for your mushrooms to grow. The substrate is sterilized to reduce competition for your mushrooms, and then the spores are injected or placed inside the jar so they can germinate and grow.

The stoned ape hypothesis offers a possible keystone that appears to fit together with much of the existing scientific evidence and theory," he says, though he stresses that this is only one possible answer.Lots of strain vendors will list certain qualitative effects with a given strain. Some are suggested to be more euphoric, more visually psychedelic, or more introspective. Lee MR, Dukan E, Milne I. Amanita muscaria (fly agaric): From a shamanistic hallucinogen to the search for acetylcholine. J R Coll Physicians Edinb. 2018;48(1):85-91. doi:10.4997/JRCPE.2018.119

P.cubensis has a long history of both religious and recreational use. It may have medicinal value in treating certain psychiatric conditions (though all use, including for medicinal purposes, is still illegal in most jurisdictions). The species is not difficult to grow, and many cultivated varieties are available. Growing APE Mushrooms Some people believe that Avery’s Albino is a true albino mutation of the A-Strain. It’s otherwise known as A+ and was developed by a frequent Shroomery user and infamous mushroom cultivator known as “Mr. G.” The stoned ape theory gained little traction in academic circles, but it became a staple of psychedelic culture. Among its most notable advocates is mycologist Paul Stamets, who along with Dennis, points to scientific advancements in fields such as epigenetic inheritance and neuroplasticity that may further explain the mechanisms involved in psychedelics-assisted cognitive advancement.When it comes to cultivation, Avery’s Albino is fairly easy to grow with a bit of cultivation experience. It’s not the best beginner strain, but it will be a walk in the park for the intermediate grower with a few harvests under their belt. Avery’s Albino Specs Potency At a lower temperature, they will dry too slowly and interact with oxygen for too long. This increasing the potency loss. The higher temperature over 140°F or 60°C is not critical for potency loss, but mushrooms are easy to burn and spoil (this happens very often with newbie growers).
