Yup, that's pretty much where I got all my stuff :smile:

For jars, the best I've found are at Barnitts. Grab the 230g jars for PF Tek.

If you're in the market for a dehydrator, I recently picked up a Stockli. Swiss-made, works very well :smile:

Also, whenever I see one of these UK threads, it gets me thinking about a shroom community site focused on UK growers.

General growing info obviously isn't country-specific, but info on supplies, where to pick wild shrooms, etc. certainly is. A UK site could also help local growers meet up, share experiences, exchange prints, etc. As far as I'm aware, no such site currently exists.

Not sure how much demand there would be for such a thing. Any thoughts? If people are into it, I could look into setting something up.

The Shroomery is certainly a fantastic resource. And as I noted, the knowledge of how to grow doesn't really have anything to do with where you live. But it's obviously a US-centric site, which is an issue when it comes to things like obtaining supplies.

There have been several of these UK grower threads, but they seem to get lost, nothing really gets consolidated. Everything you posted has been covered elsewhere. Did you search for UK threads? Were you able to find them?

I personally also really like the idea of a local site which helps local growers get together. I would love to meet up with people and share experiences. Yes, I could post a meetup thread here, but a dedicated UK site might be more effective. (There are obviously other places to post such info, such as a Facebook group, etc. Doesn't necessarily need its own site.)

I also have issues with the way the information on this site is organised, which is pretty shittily tbh. Yes, there are centralised resources, but a lot of the good info is in the forums, which can be a bitch to navigate. Locating the good info is a bit too serendipitous imo :smile:

I dunno, I have an interest in a site which offers something the Shroomery doesn't, whether it's specialised local info, a more organised resource, whatever. The Shroomery's great, but it's not perfect, Plenty of room for other shroomy stuff :smile:

Heh, you make a good point about the meetups. Would need to come up with some creative ways to screen out the operatives :tongue:

Glad you agree with the other points. A better organised site with more of a focus on local growers… Will give it some thought and see if I can be bothered to try anything :smile:

They're on the large size for PF Tek. You're better off with the Barnitts ones I linked above.

Bonne Maman jam is good though :tongue:

Do you mean the Barnitts jars are a bit small?

The problem with the BM jars is that they're too large. IME, colonisation times are pretty awful vs the smaller Barnitts ones.

For a UK grower, I would say the Barnitts jars are perfect for PF Tek.
