My two year old stepped on my glasses while at a picnic. I wear these daily and it's hard to find a suitable replacement.

Frames are plastic . Lenses are plastic and not prescribed. These were about $20 (us) and the brand is from a fishing line of equipment called Ugly Stick.

I have tried to find this exact kind again online and have not been able to find them. I have another pair that is adjacent to these but they look differently because of the colors and the lenses are a different tint.

I would love some advice on how to fix the plastic frame so that it will be sturdy again.

I'm not sure what other information I can provide about the glasses or what questions I am failing to head off, so please ask away.

Thanks in advance.

I'm still working on getting my oyster mushrooms going in buckets. I've had to put it on the back burner because of house projects but I've got two fully colonized 3 gallon buckets with shredded cardboard and paper.

I'm new to using summit and being a Lemmy community moderator. I mostly use my Android phone for everything I do on the Internet unless I absolutely have to use my PC.

My apologies if this has already been discussed.

I was attempting to update the sidebar for a community that I moderate and include some useful links. The link button in the Summit editor doesn't seem to work.

Is this being tracked?

Update: I've added an issue in GitHub: https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy/issues/20

First time attempting to grow on boiled cardboard shred. Going much slower than I expected, but the cardboard appears to be taken over by the mycelium. Took 4 weeks for full inoculation and 6 weeks to see this flush to arrive.

Next time I'm going to add a little wheat germ to the cardboard to see if the nutrients will help with growth.

Growing Oyster Mushrooms in Food-Grade Buckets

I obtain food-grade buckets from my local grocery store's bakery for free. Although they previously held buttercream icing and still retain a slight scent after washing, this doesn't affect mushroom growth.

I've noticed some Trichoderma in the buckets, but I'm not concerned, as oyster mushrooms have natural defense mechanisms to combat Trichoderma.

Here's my process:

Bucket Preparation

1. I use a 14-pound bucket to contain the shredded cardboard.
2. I drill 1/2-inch holes at random intervals (about 6-8 inches apart) around the sides and a few in the bottom for drainage.
3. I cover the holes with micropore tape during the mycelium inoculation phase to maintain moisture and prevent contamination.

Incubation and Fruiting

1. I place the small bucket inside a larger bucket to contain any spills for easy cleanup.
2. Once the cardboard is mostly inoculated, I remove the tape from the holes.
3. I place the small bucket on the lid of the larger bucket for continued easy cleanup.
4. I spray the holes with water (1-2 squirts) to maintain moisture.
5. Finally, I wait for the mushrooms to grow.

Feel free to ask me any questions about my process!

Update 11/30/2024 0830 CST

The first flush is now over 3 inches. I've got two other holes that are pinning.
