Wyco Wednesday July 30

BLEEP BLOOPS IN BLACK, COUPONS/GIVES IN RED, UPDATES/NEW IN BLUE

***Hey friends! Sorry for the super late notice, but there shall be no Wyco Wednesday on the 30th of July! Because of some things my family has scheduled coming up soon, I ended up heading back to the homeland to spend a few days with them. We will continue as usual next week for Wyco Wednesday August 6th with the return of the “Black Box” (finally!!) and a few other goodies hitting the shop! All orders placed today through the end of the week will ship out on Saturday the 2nd. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding! I lucked out and saw a round trip flight cheaper than Austin BBQ on a vegan diet and just couldn’t pass it up. Love y’alls!***

JULY 23rd WYCO WEDNESDAY-

My sweet sweet spore peoples,

Happy Wednesday! We made it halfway through another week of life! Go us!! I hope everyone is happy and thriving through this beautiful hot summer day and your spores feel blessed to have you as a caretaker of their life cycle. They’re in good hands and you’re going to do just fine 🙂

This past week, I vibed (VIBED I SAY!) into a new kind of flow that helped merge “work” with personal development and I’d like to share it with yas! I say “work”, but I can hardly call it that with as much as I enjoy what I do. “Responsibilities” seems all too serious and calling it “play” or “fun” seems like it would just piss people off….though I do find it to be pretty fun and am like a kid at play when I’m at “work”. And not that any of this would benefit you with your own flow of the day, but hopefully you can take something away from it! I never would have rearranged my flow if it wasn’t for @repkoto sharing a video about the child within us so thank you for that! I posted the link in the Wyco Wednesday a couple weeks ago in case you haven’t had a chance to check it yet.

I used to be pretty rigid in how I started my day. I’d have a mental list of things I know are good for me, and try to hit them on the daily, but I put a lot of emphasis on STARTING my day with these things…meditation, yoga, breathwork and the like. For some of you it might be song and dance in the living room or quietly sipping a cup of coffee on your porch. If I didn’t complete my routine at the very beginning of the day, I’d chalk up the rest and just get on with my duties. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Some days I would “hit all the marks” and be ready to conquer the day with clarity and enthusiasm. Other days I would stray ever so slightly and start getting into the flow of the day without immediately hitting my marks and have this lingering thought of either “damn, I didn’t do those things” or “I still need to do those things today!”. And I still find it odd that even though all of these things do make my day and life better…things I KNOW are good for me, still take some extra motivation or self reminding to begin! Like….why is it so easy to grab a donut and stuff your face or grab your phone and scroll….things that are not so enriching….yet the things that are oh so enriching are oh so difficult to do? It’s not like the activity itself is difficult, but more so the motivation to begin those things are what’s difficult, at least for me. If you’re an “in the moment” person, you may not be so excited to embrace change to switch over to a new activity. I’m years into my practice, yet the thought of stopping whatever it is I’m doing and starting yoga is almost never attractive! (Substitute whatever your “good for me” activity is for my yoga) But not 30 seconds into my yoga flow, I realize, every. single. time…that is just what I need. That is good for me, and I actually enjoy it. Just starting it is what sucks!

I came across a clip of our majestic grandfather, Paul Stamets, referencing a line from the artist Alex Gray (in case you don’t know this fella, he’s the one who paints craaaazy things like what you see below). Alex said he doesn’t commit to long sessions of painting every day….he just makes sure to make one brush stroke. Inevitably, 3 or 4 hours later, he has some serious progress and before you know it….behold…a masterpiece. I’ve adopted the same practice with my routine when it comes to things I’m not so excited to start. I don’t need to carve out 45 minutes of yoga into my day…that’s daunting. But I’m determined to strike one or two poses, and I always find it easy to continue through my flow from there.

I took the advice in the video @repkoto posted, and started compartmentalizing my day into those 3 parts. Some days would start off pretty good and taper down toward the end of the day. I would start my day full of joy and positivity, yet by the end of the day I was feeling run down and depleted. My motivation, self control, and so much more would seem to decline after the sun went down. Not always, but some days were just like that. So time for a change up! I sectioned off my day, and instead of running through just a couple parts of my routine and scrapping the rest because I didn’t complete it all in one go, I’d do one or two personal development activities, followed by one or two “work” activities. Then, I’d start over for the afternoon portion, and again for the evening portion. Even if you don’t have a routine or daily practice, if you find yourself having a bum day, it might be helpful to refresh the day and treat one of these sections (morning/afternoon/evening) as an entirely separate day. Take a shower mid day and start the whole thing over if you need to! Take a nap and wake up like that bum day was in the past and start completely refreshed, for this evening is a brand new day full of potential! Or if you’re having an exceptionally great day, just keep on keepin’ on with whatever got you there to begin with! Whatever your routine is, it doesn’t always have to be so structured all the time. I found that if I had a list of things I wanted to touch on in a day, I should go full force into what I’m excited about doing at that moment, and save the rest for later. More often than not, the things I saved for later would be what I needed not right now, but….later. Go figure!

Give yourself some grace, and realize that you can’t perfect your mind, body or energy. They all have “good” and “bad” days. But you can perfect love, and everything you do should originate from your heart center. If you can’t smile in your practice, you’re taking it too seriously. It’s ok to move on and try something else. Or nothing at all! You’re a human being, not a human doing. Just make loving yourself and others your primary focus and everything else will fall in line. Like I said last week (in a very scatterbrained way that not even I really understand….t’was a rough one), nothing is ever complete. This is your life practice. It never ends! Enjoy every challenge and hardship as well as every reward and accomplishment along the way.

Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing

When one eye is fixed on your destination, there is only on eye left to find the way.

If it is meant for you, it won’t miss you.

UPDATES:

I also included some “bulk” rates for those who need a good amount of grains or substrate! I put “bulk” in quotes because some of these dealios are for just 4 bags, not necessarily bulk…though if you need 50 bags or something, let me know and we’ll work it out! **I mentioned this last week, but only the discount on the CVG substrate survived my page edits. I added another separate item for a 6 pack of 2lb grain bags, where you can get all the same or mix-n-match!**

The great Entheogen Explosion is back in the shop this week heyoo!! This is one of the “funky” varieties, having a very interesting cap structure and some super cool gills! It’s also vegan and gluten free!

Iceberg is a brand new one rolling out this week as well! Iceberg is the albino version of Thai Lipa Yai, also known as “Thai Tanic”, making the albino “Iceberg” name fitting. These are absolutely beautiful and can produce some pretty friggin big fruits! As with any true albino variety, this is only available in spore swabs.

Is anyone missing anything? I’m pretty sure I have everything covered, but if you or a loved one are victim to a failed promise by sir Wyco, you may be entitled to compensation! Of….what was originally promised. If I left you out or you’re waiting to hear back from me about anything, nudge me and I’ll make it a priority!

Also good news: Life is good, you are loved and I appreciate you! Keep on being your fine self and keep rockin’ on!

I used to have a few goofy trivia questions that were coupon codes good for $$ off your order, but my shop just couldn’t handle all the awesomeness, so it faded away. But I miss that! If you’re in the Discord squad, hop over to the mycosino channel and be the first to post one of these random thangs to win a prize!

Only the first to post in #mycosino on Discord gets the prize!

Welcome to the mycosino! In case you’re new here, this is a fun way of scoring some awesome genetics, supplies and swag without having to choose! Let the dice/universe decide for you! I roll a magical mushroom die live on Discord to show what you’ve won. **Add a note at checkout with your name on Discord if you’re in there so I can properly tag you!**

ON WEDNESDAYS ONLY, we’re continuing the ROLL 3, PICK 2 promo for the dice roll shenanigans. Buy 2 rolls of the same tier and get 3 separate rolls where you can pick your top two prizes! Also continuing the LUCKY NUMBER upgrade. Today’s number (July 23rd) is 3. If you roll a 3 on your first roll, you’ll receive that prize and get a re-roll for an additional prize! The bonus JACKPOT SPIN (a literal spin of a mini slot machine) will be spun on ALL rolls Wednesdays only, and on the $35 roll all other days. If you win the jackpot spin, you can choose any item in the shop (excluding the “lifer” pack, the black box, and subscriptions) as a reward.

**All promos listed below apply to orders placed after 5pm CST on 7/23. For fairness, if multiple orders are placed, only the first order number is eligible for the gives listed below**

ALL orders on this fine hump day (7/23) get a free modified lid and liquid culture premix pack with their order! All you need is a jar! The pre-mix pack I’m including is good for a pint sized mason jar (~300mL) but if you wanted to make a larger jar (32oz/quart), just add a note at checkout and I’ll include the mix to fit your size. I understand this is an unusual gift to send with orders, I’m just trying to encourage experimentation and trying something outside of your comfort zone. All you need to do is add the mix to your jar of water, cap with the modified lid and sterilize! If you really don’t have any need for this or it sounds too complicated, I won’t force it on ya! Just add a note and I’ll try to find something simple and special to swap instead.

ALL EVEN NUMBERED ORDERS will receive a pre-poured agar plate with their order! This is another one to encourage learning and experimentation in the hobby. The plate will come sealed, along with extra parafilm to seal it up after you play around with it. Too nervous? It’s free…now’s your chance to try! Don’t want to play around with spores? See what grows if you jam your fingerprint into the plate! Put a drop of blood on that sucka! Have your kid lick it or grab the paw of your favorite fur baby! You’d be amazed at what all funky colorful weirdness can grow on some “shitty jello”

ALL ODD NUMBERED ORDERS will receive an “unlisted” syringe with their order! Something not available in the shop! It shall be a cubensis variety suitable for all experience levels in the hobby and labeled just like the rest, but will remain a mystery until it lands in your hands my frands. If you’ve received an unlisted syringe recently and want to avoid a duplicate variety in your library, just let me know!

Score a free grain trio if your order ends in a “0” on 7/23! 2lb Milo, 2lb Millet and 2lb milo/millet blend to experiment with and find your favorite! I’m still in the testing phase of this experiment, but so far, the mycelium seems to LOVE the milo/millet mixed bag over just one or the other!

ALL orders from 7/23-7/29 will be entered to win a free MYSTERY PRIZE from the shop! I’m going to put all order numbers on papers and draw one from a bucket next Wednesday the 30th to be announced on the next post. Drawing will be posted from a live clip on Discord just like the dice rolls!
