Check out The Shroomery and go to their vendors. They usually hook up a free spore syringe if you tell the vendor you are a member at theShroomery

I tell everyone to stay away from BRF cakes... Mine were slow to colonize, cant grain-to-grain, and end results were small!
Popcorn over rye? Thanks for the info. I just thought it was cheaper and had no other benefits. Getting the right moisture content from rye is an art! I got it down but I am still interested in popcorn for the next round!

to be fare, I have read accounts where cakes were grated with a cheese grater into pasteurized substrate with spectacular results. I have no reason to doubt them but for the most part it is a silly way to get around the need for a single tool that costs under 100 dollars.
is there anyone who grows hydro that does not have a ph meter? Would a hydro grower even consider an involved process if growing pot just because they didn't want to have to buy a meter?
that is the real reason for pf. The process was invented so one man could get rich selling spore syringes (may he rest in peace).
the guy was a genius. He had to figure out how to get people to buy syringes and not be put off by the prospect of buying something that is foreign to most kitchens.
he knew that no one who understands mushrooms would ever buy more than one syringe from him, ever.
so he created a system that screamed through syringes (one per half pint), and did not absolutely require a cooker. As long as his customers didn't have a cooker,they could never get off their little dependence on his method.
I don't believe he could have realized that his method would embed itself in drug culture as the "easiest" way to grow mushrooms.
oh, and before he went to jail for including a printed description of his tek with the syringe, he made millions.
died if liver failure, yep c I think.

not sure if im allowed to post links to shops, but this are some great kits i use for growing mushrooms.
just take the box, fill it with water and put the lid on top. wait for 12 hours and remove all water that isnt absorbed.
place it in the plastic bag and close the bag with a clip, wait 3 weeks and you've got your own mushrooms.

agreed
my first and only time growing mushies I cheese grated my cakes and mixed them with a 30/70 coir/verm
let re colonize in a small tub that fitted into my SGFC
and I had some amazing results

I was wondering how long from gathering materials to harvesting will this tek take? Does growing shrooms emit any kind of smell that would make growing stealthily a problem? Also, due to student budget restrictions, could I boil/steam the jars for a couple hours instead of buying a pressure cooker?

to correct. Hr never went to prison but was under house detention for a year. He claims he never made more than a million or so and his conviction was questionable, his lawyer didn't know anything nor did the judge.
consider. I can legally sell you a pamphlet describing this method. I could also sell you spores, legally in all but three states yet sending those two legal items in the same package is a federal offense?

if there is any smell you did something horribly wrong.
figure a month from start to fruit.
This method is predicated on a pressure cooker. I do not understand the resistance to purchasing this one tool. You can get a good single jar cooker at bed bath and beyond for twenty dollars.
I also do not understand why people are mentioning pf tek on this particular sticky.
this is in response to that method. It is for new growers, it will not produce like a bulk method but it is far superior to pf in yield and ease. And yield far surpasses those little pucks

I know this wasn't directed at me, but my first grow was Golden Teachers. I like them and it was super easy. I don't have any other strains to compare though.

wal mart i believe sells a small pressure cooker for like 30 bucks, will fit i think 4-5 1 pint jars in it.

nice read Cando. hope all is well with you man.
just wanted to add that when i first started my mushrooms a while back Cando persuaded me to use popcorn and it worked really well. I found casing to be the most difficult part,

golden teachers are among the easiest to grow, for a beginner i would recommend them. people claim they are not "potent" but a good 1/8th of dry teachers will put you in a nice place. I had some really nice flushes with them that yeilded over a Oz dry each flush so having to eat a whole 1/8th shouldnt be too big of a deal.
hopefully Canndo can chime in as well since this is his thread and he will have some more expert advice.

The Hawks Eye is a great place to get spores and spore prints: http://www.thehawkseye.com/
Here's a four part video of the famous PF Tek (Brown Rice Flour Tek): http://www.mushroomvideos.com/BRF-Pf-Tek
You can make the video bigger by going to "Options" and then clicking "Fullscreen Mode"
There's also written information below the videos.
I downloaded their 2 Disc DVD about 3 years ago, very useful information.
In my opinion though, growbags are great for beginners because it shows you the various growth stages when everything goes right. The downside is the cost per yield and the RELATIVELY low yields when fruiting in the bag. However, You can also use growbags to colonize your substrate, instead of fruiting them in the bags, you just let the mycelium fully colonize and then you break it up and use it like "seed" in your bulk substrate.
As others have said, the Shroomery and the Shroomery Vendors List is your best friend in the world of mushrooms.
