| Terrarium | A small enclosure or closed container in which selected living plants, fungi and sometimes small land animals, such as turtles and lizards, are kept and observed. |
| Tissue culture | Tissue cultures are the simplest way to obtain a mycelial Culture. A tissue Culture is essentially a Clone of a mushroom. Clone is defined as an identical duplicate of an organism. The basic procedure is to sterilely remove a piece of the mushroom Cap or Stem, and place it on an Agar plate. After a week to ten days, Mycelium grows from the tissue and colonizes the Agar. Great care should be taken to select a Fruiting body of the highest quality, size, color, shape or any highly desired characteristic. |

| Trip | What happens when you eat the finished product. Can last from three to six hours. May range from mild visual effects and lightly enhanced perceptions, to a totally altered state of consciousness. Generally, this can be controlled to some degree by set, setting and dosage.

Please always remember, although many of the effects seem to be experienced by many different people, you're going to have *your* trip, not someone else's. |
