Time and patience.

Time and patience.

I don't know if patience depends on time, or time on patience, but I do know that often, I lack both, lol.

Yes, I'm filled with a certain envy for people who have the patience for long experiments, or, for example, who can devote several years to working on a drawing. That's not the case with me; everything has to be done quickly, in the shortest possible time.

Even when I go mushroom picking in the forest, or when I used to go hunting, I tried to get what I wanted as quickly as possible and return home with my catch. Being quick didn't always mean the quality was low, but patience is something you need to learn, although sometimes it's hard to tell whether patience is justified or not.

In mushroom growing, patience is also a valuable asset. It's one thing to wait a month for an oyster mushroom harvest, but it's quite another to succumb to the temptation to grow wild mushrooms in your own garden. Producers of such mushroom mycelium claim you'll have to wait about four years, which is a hefty wait. Although, if you plant a fruit tree seedling, you'll have to wait the same amount of time for a harvest. Trees are understandable, but mushrooms are.

Furthermore, some renowned mycologists claim that wild mushroom mycelium, for which you'll pay a pretty penny, is a scam, as each mushroom species has its own unique relationships, connections, and symbioses with forest vegetation, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to achieve in a garden plot.

That's why I try to treat many experiments like a cake: eat it, enjoy it, and move on :)
