This is my first grow attempt. After watching plenty of PTFK videos and reading about growing mushrooms I feel the time is right to start growing. I went to Wally World and picked up the following supplies
12 wide mouth 8oz canning jars 2 lbs brown rice (ill make flour using blender) 8 dry quarts perlite
they were out of vermaculite so ill be heading back to the store to get that and other supplies... ill post more later

Welcome to the slow-paced world of the amateur mycologist! Be prepared to loose all your hair, have to stay home when the rest of the family is going on a cool vacation and discover EXACTLY how many of your children you are going to have to sell to get a decent microscope.
Have fun!

i've been using clorox bleach spray, but i saw someone say that oust makes an air sanitizer that works better, it's more of a vapor than a mist and sits in the air longer to sanitize better, check out monstermitch posts here on shroomery, he has a pimp glovebox tek and monotub tek. i can't stop reading this site, there is tooo much to learn hahaha.

The original Lysol, (that grandma used), works well.
Perlite is cheap, I'd get whatever goes for a medium bag. Alcohol is a must. A nice heavy pan for the PF Tec. You'll probably end up getting: a pressure cooker, lights, aluminum foil, dehydrator, a divorce, micro-pore tape, the list just keeps growing.

oh yea,
this site here is the one you probably should be ordering extra gear you might need from,if you are worried... you can use a mastercard gift card to pay for your items on their site as long as you do it thru paypal i believe, and you do not need to make a pay pal account.

I am still laughing from this one, at least until she gets home!
