Lawl imagine if you could just inject some truffle spores into a packet of Uncle Ben’s, then poop it into some dirt.

Then again, growing a batch of golden teachers will net you enough flushes to trade for a truffle like this.

You can farm truffles. From what I have just read, as long as you have enough land, proper soil conditions and the correct trees, you should be good. (Truffle mycelium is dependent on the tree type it grows around.)

Here is a decent intro: https://trufflefarms.com/guide-to-truffle-farming/

That IS cool, but I can make a couple pounds of golden teachers in my closet with a spritz bottle and zero care, and trade them for many truffles!

Truth. I just got done making 3 jars of LC (Mac Galactic, Stormtrooper and Jedi MF), 3 shoeboxes of Stormtrooper and 4 grain bags (10lbs of millet) of Jedi Mind Fuck. It was a little bit of work to get all of that done, but neglect tek from here on out! I maybe spent $200-$400 to get a decent lab going, but that money will go a loooong way for many flushes, generating my own LC and making clones. (I like nice tools, but they aren't required.)

My goal is to expand into gourmet mushrooms as well as creating a lifetime supply of microdoses.
