In 1976, the U.S. government funded one of the most psychedelic short films ever made.

Created by animator Vincent Collins and produced by the United States Information Agency (USIA), the film takes viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey through iconic American symbols.

The USIA, often referred to as the government’s propaganda arm, distributed cultural films like this around the world to celebrate America’s 200th birthday.

Timothy Leary called it “a soul-warming, patriotic-psychedelic tribute to America featuring animated baseballs and hot dogs!”

With America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, this film offers a chance to reflect on where America was, where it is now, and where it might be headed.

I know the pics come out a bit sideways but that’s ok, probably just the way our site is formatted. Pink Oyster gourmet project with my old flower looking PE6 grow with a flush of BHT. Just more proof of why I’ll be teaching the usefulness of bag tek. Truly versatile with only the need to change sub. Easy clean up and you can definitely throw the old plastic bags in the recycle bin no problem! I’ll still do some shoebox tek for old time sake but keeping it minimal. Starting with that got me to what I’m at now! 🍄❤️

I like seeing all the people starting to trickle in.......welcome to this space.

I made it over , hope you are all well

I had to bring Mr. Bean over. You're welcome!😂

Nothing but sweet memories here. From my GT low spore ISO project, TAT and Orissa India. Not the first time I have taken long gaps and break period. Thankfully I have everything written down in notes and all that I haven’t had to watch tutorial videos. Most of everything I do is low tek and it simply requires muscle memory. I don’t do LCs or have a big cache of extra equipment I don’t need. Spawn jars are simple, ketchups are far more efficient than petris and using just swabs with my scalpel is all I needed. Keep it low tek and not obvious, you never know when you got to clean up and make your space look like nothings going on lol. More importantly bag technology has came so far that it’s made mycology easier than having to build Monotubs with extra equipment without the need to fan or mist constantly doing unmod tek with shoeboxes. Only time you have to mist is when flushing a bag or block for gourmets that’s been cut open for fruiting! More posts to come!

Feels good to have my name back and profile pic up on here……now it’s time to continue the conversation and educate each other. Though definitely going to educate about safety with the medicines, I can’t emphasize this enough, keep what you do at home, never make $$$ on it, if one wants to make $$ in mycology the gourmet route is the way to go though it’s hard to get established into. Do mycology because you love doing it, there are other ways to make $$$ legitimately but doing it with the fruits isn’t it. Even if you do it out of good intentions it will never be enough for “profits.” Just enough to keep going when helping others. Stay safe and mush love!

Anyone putting in the work?

I don't see anyone else showing off yet so I figured I'd show off some old pictures from the past.

The good news is my girlfriend and I have been blessed with four beautiful grandchildren since these pictures were taken. However the bad news, those little bastards took my laboratory space.

MUSH LOVE everyone🍄🙏✌️💙

Hi All! A request:

Please use New -> Feedback to create a feedback / bug / feature request. It allows us to track each request and share updates. Others can upvote each request; so we know which one to prioritise.

Let me know if you want me to record a quick video to show you how it works. Thanks!

Even though I will deeply miss the old site and having to accept the fact that all of my work on there will disappear I’m also positive about the new chapter with this space. Any old pics I have will simply be apart of “The lost Chernobyl files” and will be more or less a “memories” post. My focus now is to integrate everything I have learned but make instructional for new members. Even though I’m disappointed that the psychedelic renaissance has ended in California with major and controversial busts going on it’s forcing me to stay quiet and bury it all. I’m thankful for being a jiu-jitsu athlete and being in a gym that’s positive about this stuff behind close doors has made me feel relieved. Anything project based I’ll be doing won’t be big or major. More or less teaching everyone how to grow personal batches and keeping it hush for our own safety. Mush love family and stay safe, don’t trust just anyone when sharing the good news about natural medicines.

Before I log out for the night, I just wanted to say thank you to Happy KB and Dev for bringing new life back to DW. I'll be reaching out to some old school members to let them know where we're at. I'm still in touch with Tyler Durden, Alx, Oryx, Fernwey and JetJunky. I'll shoot them a link to the new site and see if I can get them to come over. 😉

Hi everyone it’s me ChernobylMyco, I love and miss all of you! I’m trying to change my username and stuff but I was told give it time and it will work once the site recognizes me. I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter with my amazing family here and more importantly creating educational content for free because I want too. I’m not into making a profit off of healing, I’m already a chef working for Uncle Sam and being focused on my jiu jitsu journey has fulfilled those gaps in my life. Either way, I’m glad I got my family here.
