Yeah, mushroom seeds. You put them in rock wool and grow mushroom trees. They have regular an fem seeds as well.

SMH. Or maybe I was talking about sunflower seeds.

Rocket science at its finest.

I think you mean Rocket Surgery,... Or Brain Science, one of the two...

Either way,

I mail ordered seeds from spores101.com, golden teacher,
Can't wait :)
Got my rockwool soaking now : |

My bad. I always get both of those mixed up. Not my cup of crack.

But good looking out on the spores. I'll just need a rock wool to match with it.

Neil deGrasse Tyson just told me the mushroom magic has to be perfect for a spore or nay.

One spore will create a planetary system to munch on.

I think it is coir and or peat moss that is innoculated with trich. It will not inhibit your growth, if you have any, and the conditions are right it will s imply begin to grow green mold. You should just wait it out. When the mycelium just reaches the surface, you can spray several times a day, both to knock down the mycelium and to give you something to do. Patience, if you see those little fingers in the soil you are good. start looking for tiny little knots in the "fingers", once you see them, you know you are on your way.

Ok, so its now been 16 days since I first put the coir/verm on top. Three of the jars had some greenish growth on some rye grains, so I tossed those. For these three jars, the myc didn't climb at all into the dirt.

For the three other jars, the myc has climbed up the dirt a bit (and from what I can tell is still climbing). They still have a lot a ways to go to get the surface. I have been spraying them, but should I not until it gets to the surface?

Also, in two of the good jars, within the rye in some spots there are small yellowish spheres. It looks like honey. They are probably 1 mm in diameter. Are these some kind of contams?

Your trich got in the interface between the casing and the substrate, that is why the mycelium didn't move through. No, I think those spheres are just exudate from the mycelium, maybe you are keeping things a tad too hot. Yes, keep misting, you don't want the soil on top to dry out. In fact, check, if it is dry, that would explain your slowdown. It shouldn't take much longer for your mycelium to reach the surface.

so i've got an indoor wormbin in my house. can i still do this method or would the inevitable microbiota in there pose too much of a contamination risk? I can move the worm bin if it would be a problem for the say 4-6 weeks of the whole process, so should i just go ahead and do that to minimize risk?

I would. My bin has gnats that like fungus, a lot. It always stays outside.

Yeah, its may now, i think i can find a shaded spot out back. i just worry they'll escape into the wild, or that the bins will attract raccoons and coyotes and such, but i guess with a lid on they'll be fine. house vacuuming tonight! no more woman so i'm using as much soap as i fucking please hahaha

escape - they hate the light and like the food. Your earthworms would rather be in the ground anyway and don't eat much of your waste. I have no problems with rats or such when I use a good thick layer of bedding, coir if I am rich, newspaper if I am not. BTW, if you should continue wth this hobby, your well eaten worm compost makes a great additive to bulk grows, about 20 percent. I've used higher percentages in dung lovers and I even put some in my wood chips for oysters. They love it.

Ok, so i've been cleaning since thursday and i can't get my whole house completely clean. it was built in 1942 and it has been a rental for 15 years. i don't think i'm going to be able to meet the standards. can i use my cedar closet and make it a completely clean room, and keep everything in there for the whole process, or will my contamination risk be too high to be worth it? I can do 24 jars if its likely to be a probabilities game.
be easy,

I'd love to grow some mushrooms, just so that I can have a steady, ready, risk-free supply, but MAN does that not sound like "the easy way" at all. :D I grew 'em once out of a ready-made growbox, and that worked nice, but this is a bit too much of a project for me at the moment. Have to spend way more time than I want to on my evil day job. :/
