I am a simple man.

No need for expensive alcohol to make me happy.

Cheap white rhum (very cheap, ~$1.25/375 ml bottle) gives me the same enjoyment as expensive Russian vodka.

And I also use it for...

Reishi (Ganoderma) Mushroom Tincture

Soaking Reishi slices in alcohol for at least two weeks releases a butt load of beneficial triterpenoids into the tincture.

Then you can boil the drained Reishi and add the Reishi tea to the alcohol to make an ambrosia-like dual extraction elixir.

I've been partaking of this for the last few weeks and the results have been awesome.

Simply put, I feel 25 years younger!

And then I use the bottle for...

Petri Dishes for Mycelium Cultures? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Petri Dishes!

Source

I use the 375 ml bottle to make DIY mycelium cultures.

"Gulaman" is the Asian name for the seaweed alternative for gelatin. It can be purchased from any supermarket.

Gulaman is basically agar-agar, the medium used for making microbial cultures in the lab.

I mix the water from boiled potatoes (or mashed potato flakes), clean water (de-chlorinated by the sun, then boiled tap water), and a tiny drop of honey with the gulaman to make an effective, reusable, and very cheap DIY agar dish.

I don't own a pressure cooker (yet), so I simply steam the bottles over a pot of boiling water for 90 minutes.

Easy-peasy.

Cool, no?

FUN(gi) On!

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
