Thanks everyone for the help. Everyones advice/previous posts was a godsend for a total newbie.
Ive got my hands in a few things now. Started with pf tek, moved to WBS, and now Im giving mycobags a shot. Im by no means an expert, but Ive got a couple things for anyone who is still just like me:
-first (and this is just my opinion) eff the pf tek. That took so damn long. The casing with pins (pictured) was knocked up the 3rd week of march. The WBS jars were done last week. For the colonization rate, pf tek doesnt even come close, and Im impatient (but Im working on it :P)
second- Everyone was right, get a pressure cooker. Just dont even bother with the boiling method, why take chances with your babies?
third and most important- dont EVER buy spores from micro-supply.com. I thought "Oooo $10 syringes", forget it, you totally get what you pay for. Ive learned my lesson...if its not shroomery backed, dont waste your time. Lilshopofspores.com hasnt let me down.
P.S. I got my pressure cooker at walmart for 32 bucks

Thats looking good man! How long did it take to pin after the white branch like structures (Hyprea?) started to poke thru the top during colonization? I'm 4 days after making the casing and impatiant to put them into the fruiting camber...
Did you do any patching?
Keep us updated!

After 2 days I put em in the FC. That was last week. The hyphal knots were there in a few days, once they showed the pins popped up like a day later. I look at em everyday and give plenty of FAE even though my FC has holes, I like to be sure. Im still in the overly caring stage I think........

congrats kuku! its lookin good!
hopefully my stuff grows that well! i have pf jars with spores from lilshop, 5 days and nothing so far.. havent checked since 6PM yesterday..
phorever: no you dont need WBS, can you fruit your cakes directly in the fruiting chamber, or you can make a casing (your cakes crumbled) with all vermiculite, check out the casing teks on this site. i suggest you read ALL the teks on this site, there is everything you need to know on this site, you still may have some questions tho, so when you do ask! but do some research first!
