A Shroom Wizard casing that works...

Okay. So let me start off by saying that this tek is one of the poorest examples of casing I've read thus far. However there is some validity to this method as long as you can keep some common sense about you.
I have made this tek work. Believe it or not.
This is my 1st time casing, and 5th overall grow. If you are to forget everything he says about the sterility procedures, inoculation of the jar, and the reference to the fungus as a plant, and instead use what you know to be common sense procedures; you'll succeed with this. I've created 2 casings (one cake each), and from what I can tell, this looks to be a 17g-dry-per-casing harvest. This is what I've done differently:
The only advice I've taken is with the potting soil. I've mixed it with sheet moss ($2.00 any hardware store) and layered the bottom of a 7"x7"x4" cooking pan with a roughly 2" bottom layer (Soil/Sheet moss). The cake's get crumbled as usual, and straight potting soil goes on top, roughly 1". I've wetted both mixtures with a hand-sprayer of distilled water, about 3-4 pumps each I believe. Sealed with saran-wrap. Now as you may have guessed, I HAVE NOT STERILIZED THIS MIXTURE. I wanted to take a chance with it. I've pc-ed 24 jars and not one of them contamed. So I figure if this tanked I'd live with 2 less jars. After roughly 7 days of squatting in a closet, I have found very strong primordia formation along the edges and center mass of the casings. The casings promptly went into a glass terrarium, humidified with perlite. The temperature is kept at 80 degrees Fahrenheit and fanned 2x a day.
Now. Gloves were used the whole time, and my laboratory (bathroom) was cleaned with a shit ton of lysol, I wore clean clothes, etc... I've been relatively careful thus far and it payed out. Pics are included of course. And for what it's worth, this is a living creature being cultivated. The b/e may not be as optimal as other casings, but it's a far cry from shit.

I'm just tired of naysayers who claim to be experts, when the only thing they do expertly well is flame something for the sake of flaming. This works. As long as you ignore what the Shroom Wizard says, everything is gravy.

Because I can make it work. If NASA gave me a washing-machine and told me it couldn't fly, I'd prove them wrong. e.g.: Giant slingshot.

excellent example of using your experience growing, along with a bit of research, to provide yourself with favorable results. congrats, those knots look real nice. hopefully you'll post more pics of the pins after they've developed more. now wheres that link for the tek your talking about? maybe i'm just bad with the search function, but i'm not finding anything covering the specifics of his casing tek...just lots of comments...some good, most bad. i'd love to get a look at it, would you mind either posting a link, or copy/pasting it here for us who are to lazy to search the intrawebz?
