Thank you for the guide. Will be very helpful once I get a PC. I would also like to point out the Coffee Filter is pointelss in this, It won't block out contaminents, and it's just a waste of a good coffee filter :D

To quote RR "Coffee filters are for coffee. Using one as a contaminant barrier would be like trying to use a chain link fence as a mosquito barrier."

Yes,
Please place the disc onto a piece of wood so that you can drill through the disc and into the wood---this will prevent the drill bit from grabbing the disc and spinning it. This also makes the holes a lot cleaner and free from burrs.

Even when using the piece of wood as a "backer" for drilling the holes--please be careful--you can still cut yourself if the bit grabs the disc and it does start to spin.


Good luck and safe shroomin!

When the spores are ready to fruit, what do you dump them in, and what type of fruiting chamber do you use?   Also, what is the best temp while fruiting?

When the spores are ready to "spawn", (fruit=after the WBS is 100% colonized), you can either dump the spawn into an appropriate container and case it with your favorite casing material, (I use Coco-Coir only for my casings), or spawn them to a bulk substrate like straw/poo and case them with your favorite casing material. As for my fruiting chamber, I use a large plastic bin/container. I place some wet Perlite in the bottom of my bin and set the casings on-top of the Perlite and cover it with the  lid--that's it! When I mist/fan, I just open the lid and wave my hand or a clean piece of paper next to the opening and mist into it-pretty simple.

The best temperature to fruit cubensis mushrooms, that I have found, is @ room temp-yes, just set the bin somewhere it can get some light(in the corner of the room you sleep in works just fine). As long as your room stays at or around 70*F-75*F they will be perfectly OK!
