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

Welcome back, wisdom carriers!

I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during my short break to and from the homeland last week! It came with it’s own challenges, but was nice to reconnect with some friends I hadn’t seen in years and I was able to spend some quality time with the family as well. My grandpa turned 90 a few weeks ago and came down with some sort of sickness that lasted pretty much right up until I saw him, but seemed healthy as ever by the time I got to him! My dad and I always say we hope to be in as good of shape as he is when we grow up. 90 years old and still a stud muffin….sheeeesh. Get it gramps! That man can convey some serious wisdom with just a glance and I look up to him in so many ways.

I was late getting home (flight delays) and had some minor hiccups shipping orders while I was gone, but I do believe all orders have been shipped and the late ones got some extra goodies. If anyone isn’t incredibly satisfied with their goods when they land, please see my in my office and I’ll make it up to yas.

One theme that kept resurfacing on my journey relates to a term I first learned from @Eggshen on Discord, called SONDER. Sonder is the realization that everyone you encounter has a life as vivid and complex as your own, complete with thoughts, feelings and experiences. Nothing earth shattering there, but sometimes we just need a gentle reminder that everyone has their own unique place in life, and likely have different joys and traumas and things they’re working through and things they’re celebrating…all of it. The full spectrum of life. You might meet someone out and about and they’re in a fit of rage because they burned their toast that morning. Or you may run into someone that’s so positive and bubbly that you think they just have it all together when they’re really just doing a damn good job of wearing a mask.

For instance, Ram Dass is someone I listen to, read, or think about who gives me a certain peace. Always calm, grounded and centered. For the life of me, I just can’t picture that man getting angry to the point where he’s throwing things or yelling at someone. I have formed a certain perception of the guy based on what I’ve seen, heard and read. But I bet he has thrown a plate or two! I bet he’s flipped out on someone before! As he once said, he is not a fully realized being. He’s on a certain path just like you and I and we’re all here for each other just walking each other home. But we all have our ups and downs and we’re all processing the same reality slightly differently. Each person that we meet and each situation we find ourselves in is an opportunity to learn and grow and help the next person, as uncomfortable or enlightening or whatever it may be, it all has purpose. Make your purpose to open your heart to giving and receiving love and you won’t go astray <3

Nickoo2_ completed the thought I was stuck on. You’re a real one my friend:

Yes, Sonder is the realization that everyone you encounter has a life as vivid and complex as your own, but the other aspect of the word that makes it so powerful is acknowledging that no matter how hard you try you will never know the depth and intensity of any other life like you know your own. You will never truly actualize what makes them happy, what their fears are, how amazing their friendships are, or how they feel when they eat their favorite food. In fact there are billions of peoples lives as intense and important as your own that you will never even know existed, and they will never know you existed. It is this aspect of Sonder that makes it such a profoundly melancholy state of being. The realization that you are both everything and nothing simultaneously and so is every other human.

Alriiiight, picture time 🙂

Many walks have been had since the last post! I noticed these little ones on my right…

Trying to reconnect with these deer friends across the street on my left…

I saw danger and had to intervene. Literally waving my arms at traffic like an actual lunatic traffic controller trying my best to save my loved ones. I succeeded. Ned thanked me.

Unfortunately I don’t think the lemonade stand fared as well…

But these flowers were STUNNING! Probably every 10 or so houses around here have these beautiful blooms and they always put a smile on my face.

Also came across this thriving oyster in a park with plenty of deer friends! I know the tag is for the tree, but I’d like to think it was marked for it’s immaculate food source for the mushies. Gotta love trunk mush!

With the help of @noir, we did our first poll on Discord this past week! I’ve had a number of people asking for instructional type videos for this and that, so I put it out to a vote and the people have spoken! It was a close call, but “Liquid Culture 101” ended up with the most votes, so be expecting a short video on all things liquid culture here soon! When I post the video, we’ll have another poll to vote on for the next one. I’d like to keep conversation out of the “polls” channel in the Discord, but if you have a suggestion on what you’d like to see in the future, feel free to shout it out there!

Biiiig shout out to @lyssaswisha on Discord for crafting me some absolutely stellar mugs, complete with the MW logo and hand sculpted mushies! These things are incredible!!! I think the one in the front will be my daily drinker from here on. You freakin’ rock!!

As approved by miss @lyssaswisha, one of these will be up for grabs with a giveaway on Discord tonight! I’m taking that first one to my grave and will be an item I grab if my house is in flames, but the winner of said giveaway can take their pick at any of the other 3 🙂 I didn’t do any gives this past weekend, so we’ll have a few going this evening and resume with our regularly scheduled programming this Friday/Saturday.

Also, a little late to the game on this one, but @leviathanskeeper asked me what my skincare regimen was a while ago, to which I replied, “skincare?”. He knew my poor pores were parched and came right to the rescue with some fantastic all natural rubs and balms, along with a few amazing Tiger’s Eye stones of different colors (that I never knew existed!). As much as I tried to capture their beauty, even on a white background…it did no justice. But know these are friggin’ gorgeous as hell and I will cherish them forever. Thank you so much my friend 🙂 He included some knick-knacks, stickers and supreme genetics as well, but (with permission) some of them may make their way to a Black Box or two, so I don’t want to spoil the surprise. You rock duder! A handful of other generous and helpful Discordians have sent some genetics my way that I will shout out just as soon as they are ready! Thank you ALL!

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’ve slowly begun adding some bundles for grains and substrate the past few weeks! A few of these options weren’t coming through as intended on the shop page, so I added a new item for each of the “bulk” options:

4-pack of 5lb CVG Substrate for $50

4-pack of 5lb Milo All-In-One Bags for $55

6-pack of 2lb Grain Bags (you pick ’em) for $35

I’ll continue adding bundle stuffages for different needs over the coming weeks. And just as a reminder, shipping is killer on the heavy goods! Just one 5lb bag of grains or substrate has a shipping cost of $12 (eek!), but that cost doesn’t change up to 20lb! All of the above options are 20lb or less, so if your cart already has a few pounds in it, feel free to add on for the same shipping rate 🙂

Finally, FINALLY, my very favorite leucistic variety hands down returns to the shop this week! I’m not a huge fan of AA+ (just personally), Leucistic Golden Teacher is alright, F+ is pretty cool, but none live up to the great LEUCISTIC JEDI MIND FUCK in my opinion. I like these better than the OG JMF! Beautiful, resilient, easy to work with….love these mush puppies!

Another fantastic variety returning to the shop this week…please welcome the lovely SYNERGY to the stage! Synergy typically does not drop visible spores but occasionally they do. This one is only available in swab packs. Between Synergy and Taman Negara, I’d have a hard time choosing one to be the most beautiful looking fruits I’ve ever eyeballed. Taman Negara are a beautiful dark brown, where Synergy has a very light golden/creme color…equally gorgeous in their own way (just like you)

Also returning to the shop, the almighty, all-elusive, all-mysterious BLACK BOX!!! I freakin’ love making these for people, but got a little carried away earlier in the year and ran out of the little special goodies that made these boxes so fun, so I took them out of the shop for a while. This is a grab bag sort of item, where you just don’t know what you’re going to get! But if you add a note at checkout to let me know your skill level in the hobby (on a scale of 1-5), and any additional details about your fine self, I’ll do the rest! Details like “I’m starting to get into agar” or “gourmet only, please” help me tailor the box to your needs, otherwise I’ll take it into my own hands and let the universe pick out some goodies for ya! To date I have had a grand total of ZERO people disappointed with the contents of said Black Box. Alsoooo if what I pick out is fitting for you, but not fitting for the box, you may have to use your imagination and pretend that the brown box I send it in is black. Most will be an actual black box 🙂

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!

**DOUBLE TROUBLE BUCKET PULLS!!**

I pulled order numbers out of the Bucket of Destiny to win some treasures aaaand… CONGRATS ORDERS #13422 and #13428 on winning a $20 Store Credit!

Next up, I pulled ORDER #13461 and #13491 for a 20-pack of pre-poured agar plates!! CONGRATS!!

And finally, I kept pulling numbers until one of em hit the jackpot spin on the slot machine…. CONGRATS ORDER #13443 and #13451 on winning TWO 5lb AIO Bags!!

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!

!!!1 per person please!!!

• If you had to pick one song that would play 24/7 for the rest of your life, what would it be? For THREE 2lb grain bags of your choice! I have plenty of songs I love dearly, but for me, this one would almost certainly have to be a chill vibey track with no lyrics. Can’t imagine “We Will Rock You” would last too long before getting old…

• If you could choose any song to hear for the very first time again, totally new to you, what would it be? For a free 5-pack of killer syringes that may or may not be in ze shop!
• What is your favorite type of peanut butter? For a $20 coupon code to your favorite spore store as long as it’s mine. What, you thought I only liked music or something? A friend of mine has recently become a PB connoisseur and sends me pics of these extravagant flavors… I know he can’t be the only one. I’m a bit of a purist myself, but I live vicariously through him. I’ll accept other odd condiments as well if you happen to love relish or mustard or something. Goof it up goofballs

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 (August 6th) is 6. If you roll a 6 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 8/6. 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 (8/6) get a free “unlisted” syringe, not available in the shop! If you’ve received on of these beautiful babies in the past and would rather not have a duplicate, just add a note at checkout and I’ll pick a unique one for ya!

Order numbers ending in “6” on 8/6 will receive 6lb of the finest grains with their order! If you see your order number ends in a lucky “6” and you prefer one type of grain over another, let me know and it shall be done! If I do not hear any preference, I’ll go with what I have the most of currently.

Order numbers ending in “8” on 8/6 will receive a 10-pack of pre-poured agar plates with their order!

ALL orders from 8/6-8/13 will be entered to win a free MYSTERY PRIZE from the shop! I’m going to put all order numbers on papers and draw a few from a bucket next Wednesday the 13th to be announced on the next post. Drawing will be posted from a live clip on Discord just like the dice rolls!
