Huh. I need some, so I might give them a try in the next day or two, if I can find them in my local PL.

awesome blocks of coir in poundland! will need to have a look.
My local poundland has gotten button mushroom kits in twice. I picked up a couple, however have not had much luck from it. Got 1 mushroom from 1 of the tubs, and the other 2 have been sitting getting whiter :/

They had one left at my local poundland - disguised as potting soil. Says 100% coir, though. Looks right to me. I'm going to whip up a batch tonight.

Welcome back FractalX! Good to see you posting again, I hadn't grown anything is a couple of years except some sclerotia and a few P. Mexicana I fruited from leftover smaller stones and grain, mini amounts though and not a real grow, just a small SGFC with a few little takeaway food trays.
Got some nice 1000ml mason jars colonising now, thanks shroomzi8, you da man (and woman... lol). 
If you need any bits or bobs, Fractal, me, got lots of spare grow equipment. I bought some of the coir from Amazon I mentioned a couple of pages back, looks good, will be spawning to it with rye berries in a week or two. Was by far the cheapest coir I found if you include postage etc. Good deal all round.

EDIT: just saw your post about Poundland coir, Andy, let us know how it goes, not sure if there is a Poundland near me, sure I can hunt one down on a day out though.

thats funny i got just 1 large mushroom from the kit, despite there being a few other knots and what appeared to start to develop into mushrooms but the kit dried out despite being dunked multipole times and misted.
The other 2 have done squat, just colinised the casing layer completly. waste of time really.

Hey all 
I'm here!! Not been around in a while obviously. Lots of live going on. New house job ect. Try to get house and allotment sorted. Then brewing then myco. Its taken the back seat but its getting closer to the front. Need to get my slants out and see whats going on with them. There might even be talks of a FH in the future 
I anyone needs anything feel free to pm me. I've got loads of stuff. Not got it all unpacked or inventoried as of yet but if theres anything anyone needs I can have a look and see what I can do. From what I remember there was little that i didn't have 
I'm back on page 25 atm so going to try to have a read though and see what I missed. I'm going to try to make an effort and at least be on here a few times a week if not daily again.

I dunno if this has been posted here already. But if your looking for coir
http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/
sell it really cheap and they have free delivery (3-5 working days)
I just placed an order for 2 blocks of coir. total cost is £4:30.
They also do deals on buying in bulk amounts.
Single blocks are £2:15 then you get a discount for bulk orders.
6 blocks £10 24 blocks £23
I think thats a pretty good deal considering theres the free delivery option.

I ended up getting 5 650g blocks for £12.99 from Amazon, postage inc. Was the best price I could find at the time. Just about to spawn to it today as luck would have it!
Good to see you back Base, every time I think this thread is tapering off it rises like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Keep up the good work all, this thread must kick ass for new UK members and cultivators. We are all truly kings among men.

Yo guys!
Sorry on mini missions at the moment. Not had time to catch up. I want pics of these oyster buckets in a geodome FX!
Yo Ego!! Hope all is well man 
Wigglywigglers used to have a thing where if you referred some one to sign up for their catolog they would give you credit. I maxed out my credit and got a case of the coir from them. Not used much of it two years later and its still sat around!!!
Off topic but anyone know a good source for Acacia or other dye like things in the uk? I'm mostly interested in the other one I cant name here. So please me

Ps my pink oyster is from BM as well. I had some issues with it being dirty but still managed to pull some off.. No idea what state my cultures are in. I would hope that my slants are clean but..... No idea mate. Not got them here at new house yet either so cant have a look for you.

well base, i was a little scarted that i hadnt renewed or done anything with my slants in 2 years, but as the rabbit said, ones with th wood in, one piece onto a petri, and all ran clean, amazing, only thing I cant recover is my penis envy culture, so if anyone listening............
im thinking about buying a 500 petri dish of the bay, and shit looks my my parafilm is running out.
Anyone sussed out cheapest parafim deal in the UK?
I suppose the 500 deal on petris on ebay is pretty decent about 8p per dish.
