Wyco Wednesday August 28
RAMBLES IN BLACK, COUPONS/GIVEAWAYS IN RED, UPDATES/NEW IN BLUE
Hey there mushroom toes
Still no sign of Taz and Tweetie. I’m sure they’re living their best life. May our paths cross again some day. Until then, happy quacking.
Slow news week on the homefront! Not a ton of exciting things to bring to show and tell this week. I was thinking of getting some sort of theme going again like I did for the chakras at the beginning of the year. Someone later suggested doing a regional theme highlighting different varieties that came from different areas each week which was a lot of fun too until I trailed off at the end there. If you have any suggestions on what would be cool themes to cover or a series of sorts, I’d love to hear it! Drop an email at millywycomushlove@gmail.com or hop in the Discord!
Even if I don’t do a chakra theme for the Wednesday thing I might jump in and do the practice again myself. Can’t these damn chakras just stay aligned forever!!?! Man, so needy! I don’t feel super unbalanced or out of tune, but I notice a difference from when I was staying diligent on what I know keeps me centered. Slowly but surely I’m getting back there. I learned to keep from saying “no” things, like “I’m NOT going to eat bad” or “I’m NOT going to skip working out” because I think deep down, my devious self hears “eat bad, you say? I heard ‘skip workout’ and couldn’t agree more, Mr. Wyco!”
I also think it’s more difficult, for me anyway, to try to stay away from something that might be a pleasure or indulgence if I am indeed trying. If my focus is to “not do xyz”, I’m still focused on “xyz”. But if I choose a healthy or good or whatever version of that focus and add it to my routine, the negative will naturally see its way out. For example, I noticed a little coffee habit creepin’ right on into my space all sneaky like. Nothing wrong with coffee, I just don’t like when I’m not super intentional about something. I was quickly falling back into a routine where coffee came before some other healthy habits and without knowing it, really toned down the momentum with the rest of my practice. Instead of saying “I’m not going to start my day tomorrow with coffee”, I said “I can have coffee if I want, but first I’ll have a cup of matcha tea”. I found balance in my relationship to coffee and intention hath been restored! Tune in next week to hear how I went coffee only to get off Matcha.
Yoga update: until this past week, I did not enjoy the practice of yoga. Like at all. The thought of doing it, picking a guide person or video to follow, the act while doing yoga…the entire thing…not a fan. I love the benefits. I think everyone should do it. I keep doing it. But I’ve never liked it. UNTIL! I came across a banger of a quote in a book a few days ago that said “Work alone is your privilege, never the fruits thereof.” Which really doesn’t have anything to do with yoga, and I’m not sure why it triggered a switch in my monkey brain, but it did. Somehow, it made me more focused on gratitude during the practice than getting done with the practice. I’m grateful for the deep breaths in my lungs, grateful for the balanced stretches and grateful for the horribly uncomfortable positions I am able to feel. Also grateful that it will end, but not the main focus. Anyways, just thought that quote had many practical life applications that could help you in an equally odd way. Hope it does 🙂
Last week, we gave away 2.5 lb. and 5 lb. All-In-One bags, a “BLACK BOX” care package, a $50 store credit, framed spore print, an “unlisted” genetics pack (not available in the shop), TWO 5lb CVG substrate bags, FOUR 2lb grain bags, and a spore print pack on the Discord! Jeepers it sounds like a lot when I write it out! We’ll do another couple gives on Friday afternoon and keep it going as long as the entries increase on the next one!
Also, mention your order number if you leave a review on the subreddit, and I’ll hook you up in the most exquisite way on the next one! Any shout outs are appreciated, and mentions on other forums and things like that really help out more than you know <3 This dude is old school, does no marketing and has no social media. Your word of mouth is why I am still around. Don’t make me sell my soul to tiktok. Keep plugging=keeping me off socials=keeping me sane. You rock harder than Jack Black and Ozzy combined (in their prime of course)
In the world of NEWs, there are a couple of new additions to the swab shop this week! These would both fall into the “funky ducks” category in my opinion as they are not like the rest! Like most oddball cubensis varieties (PE types, albinos, etc), these are only available on swabs.
ULTRA THIC BOI is said to be a “happy mycological accident” originally created by a myco wizard that goes by “mushin”. It’s a cross of 2 ghost isolations…King Boo and Thic Boi Boi. Boi boi? Alright…thic boi boi. Names are getting ridiculous these days. I got this Ultra Thic Boi from one of our beloved Discord community members, ratsnake a while back in a gift of love and it certainly lives up to it’s name 🙂
The second amazing swab pack to hit the shop this week, also courtesy of ratsnake, is one from the APE family, and in my opinion cooler than original APE. For the first time ever, BAPER is now available in super limited supply! BAPER is Blue APE (Albino Penis Envy) Revert. If you’ve never seen it before, go check it out and come back when you pick your jaw up off the floor. These things are beautiful!
The first 20 orders after this post goes live (5pm CST 8/28) will receive a special “unlisted” spore syringe FREE with their order! I have a handful of this…a handful of that, all absent from the shop. All pretty special 🙂 As always, if you’ve received an “unlisted” variety in the past and would prefer to avoid getting a duplicate, let me know what you have and I’ll find something you don’t 🙂
All EVEN numbered orders on 8/28 will receive a free syringe with their order! This week, the EVEN freebie will be a cubensis syringe of a variety that starts with one of your initials. If your name is John Smith, you may find a Jedi Mind Fuck or Stargazer or any variety starting with J or S in your order 🙂
All ODD numbered orders on 8/28 will receive a Swiss army pin/magnet/bottle opener thingamabob and a small pack of mushroom stickers with their order!
All order numbers ending in “0” on 8/28 will get a $50 credit good for supplies and gourmet cultures at millywycomycology.com! Coupon code sent with order.
NOW THROUGH THIS WEEKEND 8/28-9/1 All gourmet/supply orders at millywycomycology.com will receive a free Oyster Mushroom Liquid Culture selected at random with their order! No coupon code necessary 🙂
!!TRIVIA!!
Only one question this week! The answer is a 3 digit number (420, for example) that has 3 uses. Once 3 people use this sucker, it pretends it never even existed. It’s for $20 off your cart if you’re one of the first 3 to use it.
