Are you guys thinking about cakes or a bulk project? Any ideas yet?
First piece of advice is to not buy anything before you come up with a specific plan. ~Pixie~

This is good advice. I went straight to bulk because I had the money to buy a pc and it was amazing. I was producing so many mushrooms compared to the pictures I had seen of cakes, so it might be best to just jump to bulk. Just a bit higher learning curve and a little more money.

Cakes will work but will not achieve the same effects of bulk. Basically the only difference is the amount produced is much more than cakes. During my last bulk grow i grew several OZ of shrooms.

Welcome to the Shroomery!
Honestly, I would suggest starting with cakes for most people. Bulk is similar to cakes, but with a couple more steps. Plus, if you mess up on bulk, your whole project is gone.
I don't know anything about you though, so as long as you follow directions and be STERILE you will not have a problem. I would also suggest picking up RR's DVD.. not trying to endorse anything, but pretty much any question you'll have is answered in that DVD.

.
This is a good point, and a great reason to start with individual trays, rather than a monotub, IF you're deciding not to start with cakes.
I started with bulk projects; I still have never done cakes.
You want to start out on your first bulk projects with a high spawn ratio. I was using 1:1 or 1:1.5 for my first couple projects. You let these trays colonize and don't peek at them much. You want to make sure there is not excessive moisture in the substrate. My results from my very first project were much better than the vast majority of new cultivators with a single monotub.
An example; my $93.00 Presto PC holds seven individual quart jars. I like to spawn my grains into 6quart plastic "shoe boxes". With my very first projects (using a 1:1 spawn ratio) I would get two trays and have a quart of colonized grain left-over from a single run of the pc.
Even using a 1:1 spawn ratio it is not difficult to harvest at least 1/4lb dry from six or seven quarts of grain. Yes, that's with a multi spore-spore inoculation.
Just my opinion and experience. I welcome any criticism to these ideas though. ~Pixie~

Nope. Not even.
But I learned by sending private messages to those who knew what they were doing and asking for their help. People here are extremely generous. Even if it's something as simple as asking what search terms to use, or whose name to search under; an additional perspective will often provide you with more answers.
Between that, and reading through old threads, I've gotten answers to all of my questions. I haven't started a single thread in the cultivation forum. Ever.
I am good at growing cubensis on bulk substrates. I've never grown on cakes. And I am knowledgable about growing sclerotia, and have really good experience doing it succesfully. And I know sterile procedure (I was an entry-level lab tech for a year). I am going to start my first matsutake, cyanescens, and fruiting mexicana projects this summer.
I've still got LOTS to learn! But compliments are nice to. ~Pixie~
