HOW-TO WYCO WEDNESDAY <<Click here to better understand the chaos that is Wednesday and let me know what questions you still have so I can add to it!
Happy November, myconerds!
I wanted to show this bad boy off in the post last week, but decided to show it off in all of its glory with the dice roll clips we do on Discord every Wednesday. Isn’t this thing friggin amazing!!! Some swell fellas and fine chicas from the Discord squad put so much thought into this incredible housewarming gift and all chipped in to make it happen. I was already on the up-and-up when this was presented to me, but this neon really sent me over the friggin moon. A picture really doesn’t do it justice! It’s currently hanging above the dice rolling station, but I think its final resting place will be in the lab when I get around to decorating the new spot. Mush appreciated to everyone who had a hand in lifting me up so so much last week! Y’all rock so hard!!
Another week of MAJOR progress on the new setup and workflow over here! Still far from complete, but we’re getting there. I realized this past week that I had been going from getting this and that together, filling orders, heavy production here and there, getting the house together yadda yadda and was just going until my fatigue forced me to quit. None of this felt forced or like a chore at all….it’s all very exciting stuff getting settled in to the new spot. But I hadn’t broken free to even explore my surroundings a bit until just recently!
I took a walk around the area, with no particular mission or destination, and met God. No, the mushies did not present said God to me. Well…they probably did. But I was not under the influence.
It was just a normal walk in this absolutely beautiful weather we’ve been having in Austin recently. I’ve mentioned before that I often get little magical nuggets from the universe when I’m just vibing down the street and how important those breaks are (you hear that, me!?! Break away and take a damn walk sometimes!).
I was just scootin’ my little booty down the sidewalk, giving thanks to all the nature, hopping, skipping, singing and whistlin’ away, when I encountered a man that was DEFINITELY a construction worker. I don’t know how I can relate this, but this man was THE stereotypical construction worker. That stood out to me for some reason. Bright neon vest, hard hat, tool belt, probably a ladder or something. Saw this dude coming from a mile away.
The closer I got, the more I examined his getup. I’m not sure if he was going to or coming from his worksite. For all I know, he was in disguise about to sneak into a concert or something. There was not a single spec of dirt or snag in his outfit. Perhaps his first day?
I usually look up and attempt to make eye contact with those I pass on my walks. Not in a creepy way, ya jerk! Just a little head nod or a “hiya! Nice day!” as we pass. That attempt is also usually ignored and we just pass silently, however this man was different. He looked at me as I looked at him and shared every morsel of my vibes. He approached me with his fist, not to slaughter me as one would expect, but to give me a fist bump as he said “Hey man, how you doing!!” as if he had known me for years. Centuries. Millenia! Sometimes I do get that response out in the wild because I’m a rather peculiar looking lad and they probably saw me at the grocery store or something and think they know me from somewhere. But that’s as far as it went with this fella. We passed each other, and immediately I thought, “No way. That was God”
Yeeeep. Doesn’t take much. That was it. A nice gentleman heading to wherever he was heading, just reaching out for a fist bump and saying hey. And that one oh so brief interaction totally made my whole day. It got me thinking about how everyone I interact with (or don’t) is God in disguise. Ram Dass had a similar story about being pulled over and the cop being God (Krishna), which is probably where this thought came from. I began looking at every single stranger as if they were God. Did that lead to any significant situations? No. But when I look at someone, my heart is absolutely full of love. There is no judgement. I see myself, and God, in those complete strangers. I have compassion and my level of empathy is through the roof, spilling out that love into their soul.
Because of that construction lego man type individual, I started thinking about how you really never know who is walking down that same street as you. The people you see rage out on the highway or sing and dance on the corner have just as complicated of a life as I do. Some are on a higher high than I’ve ever been, and some are in the depths of a low that I couldn’t begin to imagine. It’s not my job to differentiate or assess their condition, but treating them as the God they are can totally make someone’s day and pull them out of a rough spot, or make that high even higher like it did for me.
My lesson here was to be intentional and uplifting with everyone I come across and every interaction that I have. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to pull someone out of whatever horendous throught pattern they find themselves in. So wholesome and mutually beneficial. Smile big at the trees and the grass and the birds and all the strangers and be thankful for this beautiful world we live in, friends! I love you so much!!!
Calling all writers and writresses! We have this super cool thing going (sometimes) where a guest in the community submits a write up to go in the Wednesday posts. It was all BingoSmoke’s idea (bless that man) and he funds the thing every week with a giveaway of the writers choice! Sometimes it’s a testimonial about how the hobby has helped them and the friends they’ve met along the way. Sometimes it’s a quick specific story or a long life story. Could be about aliens or what you thought of the lunch you just had. Literally whatever is on your mind in any length or format. We LOVE our community around here and it’s been nice seeing a change from my personal blurbs to learn about other passionate mycologists. If you have such a desire to add to the wackiness of Wednesdays, come one come all! Please send your words to millywycomushlove@gmail.com and we’ll get this thing back up and running!
Todays blurbs are brought to you by…me. Just me. Just up there ^^. There was a vacancy this week that I failed to fill, but fret not my children! The Sporecaster hath chosen a giveaway of FIVE 1lb grain bags, a 5lb bag of CVG substrate, and 5 spore syringes as this week’s giveaway, again paid for by the great @BingoSmoke! Thanks Bingo!!

UPDATES:
1lb grain bags are now available in ze shop! These are PERFECT for those 6qt shoebox style tubs and bonsai grows, and come equipped with a filter patch and injection port as usual.
Maui Platinum spore syringes are BACK! This is one I commonly included in the “Milly’s Favorite Cubensis” pack….so much so, I accidentally ran out! I typically see very strong rhizo development with this one and is easy to work with start to finish.
Starfrost, Syzygy and Taman Negara have been added to the isolated syringes list in the shop!
Hillbilly Pumpkin (intended for Halloween but slightly off) and Leucistic Machine Elf are now available in swab packs! LME is an amazingly fantastical stupendously magical cubensis variety known for having white bell caps with a blue hue at the top. Absolutely stunning!
Huge shout out to mr. @Psilly_Goose and @Sporecore for coming up with a fun game of “tag” going forward on Wednesdays! Hit the #giveaways channel on Discord, where you can *react* to the “Tag” game to toss your name in the hat for a $10 roll in the mycosino and “pay it forward” by continuing the tradition the following week by gifting a roll to another participating member. IF YOU “SIGN UP” AND HAPPEN TO BE TAGGED: Go to the MW shop and place an order for a $10 Dice Roll. This will allow me to send you what you won with your roll, and “pay it forward” so you can then choose someone next Wyco Wednesday to tag. Anyone that signs up next WW is available to tag, and “sign ups” begin around 5pm CST on that Wednesday in the #giveaways channel. TAG! You’re awesome.
With the community growing as it has recently, I wanted to mention that if you have an issue with any member being out of line, offensive, solicitating, or any cause for concern at all, please reach out to myself or a member of our stellar mod squad and we will take corrective action. We care greatly about the preservation of this wonderful community and will do everything we can to keep it that way. If anyone or anything rubs you the wrong way, @millywyco., @UnderdogArtisan, @Smushem, @LeviathansKeeper and @noir are the go-to’s for reporting any kind of nonsense.
Quick note about giveaways on Discord: I love to accommodate anyone and everyone with these giveaways, but due to shipping cost and unreliability of getting through customs, these are currently for US addresses only. A 1lb box runs around $30 for shipping alone…5lb can be around $100, and some of these gives are heavier than that, running $200+ overseas, with high potential of getting stuck in customs and never actually arriving. If an international myconaut wins one of these, I’d be happy to send some prints or swabs your way…pretty much anything that can fit in a standard envelope and not have to pass through customs screening. Thanks for understanding!
