Adaptation-20: Providing a Moisture Reservoir in the
Substrate
A reservoir for moisture can be built into the cake while packing the
jars with substrate material. Start with an empty jar and tamp 1/4 inch
of substrate material in the bottom. Next, position a magic marker or
some other object with a cylindrical shape and a diameter of about 3/4
inch in the center of the jar. Fill the jar as normal. Next, remove the
object and fill the bore with damp vermiculite. Lastly, pack 1/4 inch
of substrate material over the entire jar, sealing the damp vermiculite
inside the cake.
The damp vermiculite can be mixed separately from the substrate
material. Use about 1 cup of vermiculite and 1/3 cup of water. This
should produce enough damp vermiculite for a dozen 1/2 pint culture
jars.
After the cake has fruited, occasionally inject water into this
reservoir. The easiest place to inject is the position of the cake that
used to be at the center of the bottom of the jar. Just insert a syringe
filled with sterile water and inject water until it is full.
In case you are wondering, the substrate material can't be injected
with water directly. The rice flour and vermiculite form a very tight
seal and it is next to impossible to inject water.
Even if you do

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4)
manage to inject water, it doesn't spread through the cake. Having this
reservoir filled with damp vermiculite gives the mycelium network
access to a lot of moisture.
The easiest way we have found to implement this adaptation is to cut
the bottom off of a 10 cc syringe and press the bottom of the syringe
into the wet vermiculite several times. This will load the syringe with
wet vermiculite. Then place the syringe in the culture jar and pack the
substrate around it. Use the syringe's plunger to hold the wet
vermiculite stationary while you remove the syringe. Tamp an
additional 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire surface of the
jar.
Advantage:
This adaptation will dramatically extend the longevity of the cake.
The cake's yield are normally limited by the amount of moisture in
the cake. This procedure allows you to replace moisture as it is
consumed by mushroom growth.
In general, you will double the total
output of the cake compared to not implementing this adaptation.
Disadvantages:
It is a little bit of extra work to prepare the jars this way. Also, there is
a need to be careful to use sterile water when injecting moisture
during the growing phase. There is no way to check for contamination
introduced inside the cake by injecting water.

Amongst the Mazatecs, Salvia divinorum (Diviner's sage) is known under such names as ska Maria Pastora and Hierba Maria, which translate as "the herb of Mary" or "leaves of Mary the Shepherdess". In a recent paper, Jonathan 0tt has noted that the Mazatecs lack an indigenous name for Salvia divinorum, both the Christian theme of Mary, as well as sheep, having been introduced to the region during the Spanish conquest. The Mazatecs also list a method of consuming this plant that does not efficiently utilize its psychoactive content, and seem to be generally unaware of its tremendous potency. Based on this information, and the likelihood of its being a cultigen, Ott has suggested that Salvia divinorum may be a post-conquest introduction to the Sierra Mazateca. However, it has also been suggested, initially by R. Gordon Wasson, that Salvia divinorum may be the Aztec plant Pipiltzintzintli, an entheogen that was briefly described by a 17th century Spanish friar. Ott has found that the little information available regarding Pipiltzintzintli supports this hypothesis, while ruling out several other plants that have been suggested as candidates for this Aztec sacrament. ps from going in
the four holes in the lid while the jar is being sterilized. If you poked
your holes in the lid such that the sharp edges are pointing up, be
careful not to rip or puncture the tin foil. If you need to, you can add a
second or even a third piece of tin foil to make sure water will not drip
into the holes in the lid.
Step 8:
Now the culture jars need to be sterilized. Place the jars in a large
kitchen pot and add water so that water comes half way up the side of
the jars. Bring the water to a slow boil and place the lid on the pot.
From the time the water starts to boil, the jars need 1 hour to be
(4 of 29) 5/1/2002 6:54:17 PM]
How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 2)
sterilized. Water should not be bubbling and splashing all over the
place. The jars should not be floating around in the water. The
substrate in the culture jars has the right amount of water in it already.
You do not want water leaking into the jars and changing the ratio. The
jars should not sit flat on the bottom of the pan. Too much heat can
transfer directly to the jars and cause a loss of moisture. You can place
a wash cloth inside the pan and set the jars directly on the wash cloth
to help prevent too much heat from transferring to the jars.
Step 9:
Let the jars cool slowly. Leave them covered in the pan that was used
to sterilize them. Let them cool completely. The jars need to be at or
close to room temperature in order to inoculate. The spores will be
killed if the jars are not cool enough when they are inoculated. It will
take several hours to cool sufficiently. You may hear sounds as the jars
cool. This is normal.
Step 10:
Now comes the good part. Inoculation of the culture jars. Assuming
you have a viable, sterile spore syringe, you are now in a position to
inoculate the cultures and start the first phase of the growing cycle.
The needle of the spore syringe must be sterile. If your fingers or
anything other than the lid or contents of the culture jars comes in
contact with it, assume it is no longer sterile. If there is any doubt
about its condition, use a cigarette lighter to heat the entire needle.
Heat it until it glows red. Let it cool for a few minutes and squirt some
of the solution out of the syringe.
Shake the syringe. Make sure the spores are mixed well within the
syringe. This can be accomplished more easily if you pull the plunger
back on the syringe to get a little air into the syringe.
Remove the tin foil from each culture jar as you prepare to inoculate it.
Insert the needle of the syringe as far as it will go into a hole in the lid
of the culture jar and get the needle to press against the glass. Examine
the next figure for a simple diagram of how things should look. Inject

Ephedra as a 'smart' drug and energizer
Ephedra or Ma Huang contains the active compound ephedrine. Ephedrine stimulates the central nervous system and provides energy and increases alertness. A higher dose ephedra gives a nice tingling sensation over the head but also on the rest of your body. Ephedra acts a bit like XTC, only milder in its action and less speedy. Ephedra does give the same emphatic feeling as XTC does.
Ephedra and sex
The emphatic feelings and the energy makes ephedra suitable as love enhancer. Although some people claim they get to nervous and restless. So you should test this for yourself.
How to use Ephedra
The best way to take ephedra is in a capsule, but you can also make tea of the ephedra (ma huang) herb. After a certain point taking a higher dose ephedra does not intensify the trip, only taking cafein or guarana might help then. A single dose Ephedra is effective for 6 to10 hours. In the articles below you can find more information on how ephedra works as energizer.

Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin) is the worlds oldest medicine. The Chinese discovered ephedra more than 5000 years ago. Research has shown that ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema.
Ephedra has been widely researched for its thermogenic (fat burning) properties. Research has show that ephedra helps promote the loss of fat while helping spare lean muscle tissue, a highly sought-after property that prescription diet medications still have not been able to reproduce.

Adaptation-20: Providing a Moisture Reservoir in the
Substrate
A reservoir for moisture can be built into the cake while packing the
jars with substrate material.
Start with an empty jar and tamp 1/4 inch
of substrate material in the bottom. Next, position a magic marker or
some other object with a cylindrical shape and a diameter of about 3/4
inch in the center of the jar. Fill the jar as normal. Next, remove the
object and fill the bore with damp vermiculite. Lastly, pack 1/4 inch
of substrate material over the entire jar, sealing the damp vermiculite
inside the cake.
The damp vermiculite can be mixed separately from the Terrarium Humidity substrate
material. Use about 1 cup of vermiculite and 1/3 cup of water. This
should produce enough damp vermiculite for a dozen 1/2 pint culture
jars.
After the cake has fruited, occasionally inject water into this
reservoir. The easiest place to inject is the position of the cake that
used to be at the center of the bottom of the jar. Just insert a syringe
filled with sterile water and inject water until it is full.
In case you are wondering, the substrate material can't be injected
with water directly. The rice flour and vermiculite form a very tight
seal and it is next to impossible to inject water. Even if you do

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 4)
manage to inject water, it doesn't spread through the cake. Having this
reservoir filled with damp vermiculite gives the mycelium network
access to a lot of moisture.
The easiest way we have found to implement this adaptation is to cut
the bottom off of a 10 cc syringe and press the bottom of the syringe
into the wet vermiculite several times. This will load the syringe with
wet vermiculite. Then place the syringe in the culture jar and pack the
substrate around it. Use the syringe's plunger to hold the wet
vermiculite stationary while you remove the syringe. Tamp an
additional 1/4 inch of substrate material over the entire surface of the
jar.
Advantage:
This adaptation will dramatically extend the longevity of the cake.
The cake's yield are normally limited by the amount of moisture in
the cake. This procedure allows you to replace moisture as it is

Low Carbohydrate Diet Salvia divinorum (Diviner's sage) is known under such names as ska Maria Pastora and Hierba Maria, which translate as "the herb of Mary" or "leaves of Mary the Shepherdess". In a recent paper, Jonathan 0tt has noted that the Mazatecs lack an indigenous name for Salvia divinorum, both the Christian theme of Mary, as well as sheep, having been introduced to the region during the Spanish conquest. The Mazatecs also list a method of consuming this plant that does not efficiently utilize its psychoactive content, and seem to be generally unaware of its tremendous potency. Based on this information, and the likelihood of its being a cultigen, Ott has suggested that Salvia divinorum may be a post-conquest introduction to the Sierra Mazateca.

Safety
For FDA information on ephedra, please see the ephedra.com FDA page.
As ephedra is a stimulant and a thermogenic, it should NOT be used by people / in situations where these properties might be harmful. There are some common sense rules about using ephedra:
Do not use ephedra if you have any medical problems as the use of a stimulant might overtax your system. Do not use ephedra if your activity / environment will prevent you from dissipating heat. Your body core temperature might exceed safe levels. And do not take more than the manufacturer's recommended amount.
What this means is: If you have a heart condition, do not take ephedra. And if you plan to wear clothes to raise your body temperature, do not take ephedra. And do not think that playing baseball on a hot muggy day will counteract these two common sense conditions and make it okay to take ephedra.

Method Two
Acetonitrile is a quite poisonous solvent, dangerous both in
inhalation from the fizzing electrochemical cell and by absorption
through the skin. It has been my experience that just spilling a little bit of
it on your skin is enough to give you head rushes and make you feel
uncomfortable. The use of acetonitrile can be avoided without loss of
yield by using the alternative procedure in Example 6 in the patent.
The electrochemical cell is constructed in exactly the same way as in
the first method. Then into the electrochemical cell put 400 ml of
dimethylformamide, 200 ml of water containing 27 grams NaBr, and 20
grams asarone.
Check the level of the solution, and make sure that the
amount of electrode surfaces are the same as in the first method. Then
begin stirring, and pass the current through the solution exactly as in the
first method.
When the 24,000 coulombs sales ephedra have been passed, pour the contents of
the beaker into a sep funnel, dilute with 1000 ml of a 20% solution of
salt in water, and extract four times with 200 ml portions of ethyl
acetate. The combined extracts, amounting to 800 ml, should be
washed twice with 200 ml portions of a 20% solution of salt in water.
The ethyl acetate solution contains the product epoxide. It should be
evaporated under a vacuum to a volume of about 200 ml, then reacted
with lithium iodide just as in the first method to yield about 20 grams of
2,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetone.
Recycling of solvents is possible with this method too. Ethyl
acetate can be recovered during the vacuum evaporation by use of a
dry-ice trap. The dimethyl-formamide can be recovered by vacuum
distillation.

In spite of the high yields and simplicity of this reaction, I can't
recommend its use. That's because this procedure uses thallium(III)
nitrate to oxidize the propenylbenzene to the corresponding
phenylacetone. The thallium(III) nitrate gets reduced to thallium(I)

In a scramble to develop new replacement weight-loss aids, drug manufacturers produced drugs containing extracts of bitter orange. This supplement has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive problems. Studies are finding these new ephedra-free diet pills carry some side effects that are similar to ephedra products.
This botanical contains a compound similar to ephedra, called synephrine. Both of these compounds stimulate the central nervous system and are thought to increase the metabolism.
Also both raise blood pressure and heart rate, according to research on Advantra Z and Xenadrine EFX at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Christine Haller, lead author of the University of California, ephedra energy San Francisco study, points out that little research has been done to determine whether or not these new ephedra-free diet pills are safe or effective. She says the main concern about these new diet pills is the risk they pose to people with elevated blood pressure and conditions like diabetes: two medical conditions which are common in overweight and obese individuals.
“This does indicate that people should use caution [when using these ephedra-free diet drugs]” Haller says.

should be careful not to allow the inside temperature of the terrarium
to get above 80 degrees F. In order to effectively use this adaptation,
your terrarium will need to be in a cool location.
Advantage:
You will be able to generate an extra 5% of humidity over ambient by
using this adaptation.
Disadvantages:
You will increase the temperature inside your terrarium some by
doing this. You can minimize the temperature increase by using a
container to hold the water that is well insulated. You want the water
warm, but you don't want heat leaking any more than necessary into
the terrarium.

If you are using the fish tank bubblier system to create humidity in
your terrarium, you can place angel hair or anything else that will
slow the bubbles rise in the water container. Simply pack it into the
container. This will increase humidity by several percent. Ideally, you
want to slow the bubbles but also split them into smaller bubbles.
