Growing Mushrooms via a casing pics

[vertise]

Got some mushrooms growing. I dont know if anyone likes them but they are good times a few times a year.

i have always wanted to do this but i dont know how to get a hand of that many spores without going to find them myself

 

[vertise]

These are some that have already gone through. The pics in the first post are 3 day old pins

lol you only need a single viable spore to make an infanant amout of mushies.

...well... it wouldn't really work like that... the spores on a shroom that your about to eat would be contaminated...you could possibly use agar to isolate a non contaminated section of mycelium, but it would be hard... your best bet would be to spend $20 and order some spore prints or syringes... they are legal to buy almost everywhere in the US a couple states banned it but you could still get it there if you tried...

go to shroomery.com to learn all you need to know... and trust me mushrooms are complicated but not to hard to grow... harder than weed...

 

[MyNameIsHead]

you were right about the complicated part...
everything between contaminated and your best bet is total gibberish lol
i live in florida im pretty sure its legal here...
i would think shrooms would be a lot easier to grow than weed it seems you would just toss spores on soil and put light water on it then wait for the magic to happen. then flick the shrooms to drop more spores pick them and wait for a new batch

lol well no it's not really that easy...

 

[MyNameIsHead]

yeah i just went to this site and i clicked on simple grow guide and this shit still looks like it takes a lot of time and effort

 

[FaCultGen]

yes it does...and you have to get a pressure cooker.

 

[MyNameIsHead]

well i love to cook so id probably buy one anyways, two birds with one stone i guess
hmm so i guess ill have to wait one day to start a grow like that but im definitely intrigued and im gonna look into it

I'm gonna try it. Seems like fun, Plus shrooms are hard to come by round here. A pressure cooker is not a big expense. It says that you don't have to have a pressure cooker. I think you can boil.

 

[vertise]

depends the substrate. I use organic rye grain. You soak it for 24 hours then you simmer it for an hour then put it into jars and pressure cook for 1 hour on 15 psi

Crazy stuff man....The thing we do to get High!

 

[vertise]

this is what the grain will look like

 

[vertise]

sorry here

 

[FourTwenty47]

Ahhh... I was reading about some birch seed, vermiculite, brown flour , and some other stuff..

 

[vertise]

The first pic is of a fully colonized jar, the second is a partially colonized one. You can see the bright white mycelium.

 

[FourTwenty47]

Thats awesome..How much does it cost to get started?

 

[vertise]

After that stage i sterilize some coco coir and vermiculite. 50/50 mix by microwaving it for 40 minutes. Then i mix a colonized jar with 2-3 jars worth of vermiculite and coco coir. to make a casing
