    I’ve been waiting since 2021 for my sense of smell and taste to come back :(

      Anecdotal but several of my friends claimed that psilocybin therapy restored their sense of smell.

          Another option is Ketamine, wich also promotes BDNF. Some countries make use of it as a treatment for depression

                  There was a subreddit about uncleben brand rice, which is sold pre-cooked in pouches. The sub was not about eating the rice, but as a growth medium for various fungi. The rice is the perfect nutrient and moisture content, and it’s sterile. Mushroom spores are prone to contamination for a couple weeks while they get established, so it’s a fairly reliable way to get started, without owning a pressure cooker. Any pouch of shelf stable pre-cooked grain should be a suitable substrate for this type of mushroom, which in the wild actually grows on manure.

                    So genuine question… If I did this and checked the clear window of the bag, about how long would I have to wait to open the bag. Hypothetically if I shot some spores into a bag and don’t notice anything after a few weeks… Would it be a loss?
