Hi,
I am growing my first mushroom kit, but I am not amateur at mushroom consume. In my trips I've learnes a lot about the universe, and the special value of the music. So, here goes my question: Is there any special music for the growing? I've read a lot of the music for the trip, but now I need my littles a precious mushrooms to grow strong and healthy.
Thanks, and sorry for the english (not my native language).

New guy here. I followed the instructions for preparing grain spawn TO THE Letter(just a little OCD) on this site. Got all the stuff ready for the syringes when they came in the mail.  I have 6 quart jars with wheat in them, as directed.
I received 3 syringes of differing strains. I dutifully added 3cc of one strain in each of the first three jars and 3cc of another strain in each of the second three jars, reserving the third syringe for later.
It has now been 20 days and there is no sign of any growth whatsoever. No contamination, no mushroom growth....nada.
Temp is constant at 77 degrees.
The jars with the wheat continue to be as they were when I took them out of the pressure cooker.
The only thing I can think of is the syringes contained no spore all.
Can anybody help with this?

I have had my cakes in my terrarium for 7 days and still no pins only some white fluffy growth. I am using a 6500k cfl about 10-12 hrs on. humidity is over 90% did I do something wrong? I keep reading about people having mushrooms growing already in that amount of time. should I just throw everything out and start over?
