i know im gonna get a hundred responses, but i would like to know what book you guys think is best to study. i want a reason why it is good, i dont want to hear just because. preferably one that deals with growing larger quantities

The best book I've found is the "search" bar... Seriously... Not to sound like a dick.. But anytime I have an issue I am searching and finding my answer... Right now I am searching different tea teks and recipes with mushrooms... ;P I LOVE THE SEARCH!!!

Own it. It will help you to start out great. They don't explain bulk, per say, BUT if you use your mind the authors are actually showing you how to grow bulk (substrates, cloning, etc) just in a nonchalant to avoid legal actions.

And yes, I agree with Slimz, shroomery is better than any book. But it doesn't hurt to have some hands on literature around.

The Mushroom Cultivator has been an invaluable source of reference for years. From agar work to bulk compost.
There is also many books that can have differently formated information, never limit yourself on information. As much reference material is out there, nothing outdoes the thread search.

psilocybin: magic mushroom growers guide.
is pretty good. xome of the techniques are outdated. and with many of the specifics there are better ways now, but all the concepts are there in that book. it was a good read for me, and a great way to cross reference some different approaches to indoor cultivation. how believable that stuff is, i dont knowt, i still thought it was pretty cool.
is it true that terrence mckenna and his brother wrote this book?
theres also some really heavy introduction script about how mushrooms come from space and trade their knowledge for trips to other planets. teach you how to build a hyper light drive ship in exchange for a free ride to somewhere else.
crazy if that really WAS true

Mckenna was amazing i hope hes having a blast in permanent hyperspace right now. i can almost picture him as a golden sparkling buddha mega christ bobble-head, juggling planets and bouncing them off his forehead for fun.
you know, creating new universes or whatever, just to make himself giggle.
what a crazy man!
