I am a nub that came across 2 jars of mushrooms, how to do I grow them?
    #9059102 - 10/10/08 02:09 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

At a party last night some guy showed up with two jars, about 4 inches tall, with those white cakes inside and they have cubes growing on the side against the glass. I will be able to upload pics later when I get home. So what do I do? It clearly has mushrooms growing inside of it and they look like they can't grow all mashed up against the glass. The Jar has a date on it (7/20/08). I have never grown shrooms nor did I ever plan to but it just fell in my lap.

Are you sure you didnt... "borrow" these from someone ? Anyway those look like they are ready to be thrown away. Look up a quick brf tek ide suggest grabbing RRs videos they are fairly priced and can get you into growing asap.

Yeah? I thought they looked fucked up. The kid was really sketchy, and he had been carrying them all night and then he just busted them out. They look like maybe they sat in the jar to long.

Why did he give them to you? Did he steal them from someone else? Bizarre.

you have a couple options.

1. let them continue to grow inside the jar, then pick, take cake out of jar and dunk and roll and place into a fruiting chamber of some kind.

2. take the cake out of the jar, pull those pins off, dunk and roll and place into fruiting chamber.


I don't see any contaminants so I don't see why you'd toss the jars out and if the mushrooms haven't aborted there's no need to stop the growth.  If you take the cake out and put it in a fruiting chamber without pulling those pins off they probably will just hang off it or stay smashed into it.  They aren't going to just pop up and fill out, they've spent their live in a tiny little jar smashed up against the glass, let them grow then pull that cake out and harvest those.

This random guy showed up that my friend's lame ass cousin brought over and he said he had 30 more back at his place. He gave my friend's cousin two and I was sitting just eye balling the scene. My friend's cousin has never taken any hallucinogen except this one time I gave him a glass of shroom tea but he didn't trip. Ever since he wanted to try them again and he met this guy through a local college who sells shrooms, among other things. I was high and drunk at the time but I recall him saying he sometimes sells them for 30 a jar. Possible he stole them, possibly they are contaminated. I don't know.
Tyler (my friend's cousin) has picked shrooms with me before at his ranch and he knows I know a lot about them. My birthday is on the 13th so he gave me one.

LMAO!

If I had a nickle for every time some random guy gave me colonized jars, I'd be broke...

what do you think you do with them? Throw them away of course, or report your friend to the proper authorities.

Just screwing around of course - I hope you do well by them. If you do nothing else right, talk nice to them. They might talk back...

Is Tyler's last name Durden???

although i dont believe you, you came to the right site. search the forums for the PF tek, thats what cake jars are...if theyre 100% colonized you need to dunk and roll them, get a tub with perlite (found in garden stores), a spray bottle and a light source.

http://www.shroomery.org/8409/PF-Tek

thats the PF tek...all you need to know. good luck, remember KARMA dude and have fun.

Not that I care, it definitely is a goofy ass story but I've seen stranger things happen, but as I read it he is still claiming there are two jars.

Anyway, the best way to do it to take the lids off of both jars and drill a nickel sized hole in each one. Next, screw the lids back on and fill the jars to the top with warm diet Coke. Make sure the soda is warm, otherwise you risk cold shocking the mycelium, which you want to avoid. Next, place the jars carefully in a warm, dark place. I recommend your sock or underwear drawer. Finally, if those sad looking shrooms you have are going to come back to life they are going to need nourishment in the form of complex sugars. Luckily, Mentos candy, commonly available at most gas stations and convenience stores, provides the perfect balance of pH and complex sugars. Take two plain Mentos candies and push them through the holes in your lids, and close your sock drawer. Check the level of diet Coke every 24 hours to maintain the correct level. Good luck!

I have actually had a random jar given to me too.
It was right as I started growing, I noticed a few growing apparatuses in a friend of a friends garage when we were over there smoking a blunt that day, I mentioned to my friend later that I had noticed a PC, glovebox and even old Shotgun FC, Perlite still inside. well anyway he went back to his buddies days later to find out what was up, and brought it up to his buddy in normal conversation. His friend then wanted to meet up with me again, cause he had never had the chance to talk with a fellow grower, and didnt know of the Shroomery, So I went and had a good chat with him, He was growing PE with less than stellar results. like a 30% colonization rate and 70% contamination rate, and not a single pin in 3 weeks... Much to his avail he was ready to throw his hands in the air and say fuck it, which he later did about 2 weeks later... Anyway he gave me 1 single 1/2 pint cake that was fully colonized with PE, I took it home, placed it in my fruiting chamber, where I was having much success at the time with my First grow.... Yet the cake never fruited (I believe due to lack of nutrients) and got pitched out a month later, but heres the kicker.

When the cake was birthed, D/R and placed in the FC, there was 1 heavy rhizomorph that remained stuck to the glass where the dry verm layer was... I pulled that rhizomorph from the glass and placed it in an LC, It grew out, was used as inoculant and thus perpetuated this almost dead to me strain... and this was my first grow.

loved that story especially the end - that in and of itself could be a blockbuster - "The Mighty Strain"

I'm more likely to be the person that gives some random stranger a jar than to receive it. If I only knew another grower in person... I live in a cave... Living vicariously through these threads.
