Need to be pointed in the right direction

Hey everyone.
Looking to start growing some magic mushrooms in my closet but I have absolutely no idea where to get started or what to do. Should I buy a starter kit or something?
I'm not looking to do anything complicated because I'm extremely uneducated in this topic (hoping to change that soon). A few links would be great, as well as maybe some tips on which shrooms to start with? or which psychedelic ones grow the easiest?
Thanks guys.

hey shady dude, you do realize that growing 'magic shrooms' is illegal, right? so why would you incriminate yourself unless you were the police.... just something to think about.
if you are into what you put yourself into, Google 'lets grow mushrooms!' and you will be well on your way. adios policia.

Hey guys, thanks for the info.
I watched a few parts of that "Let's grow mushrooms!" video on YouTube and I want to make sure this is what I'm supposed to buy/do.
I'm just interested in learning about growing, not really so much involving myself in this hobby everyday for the rest of my life. Maybe gonna do this once or twice.
So I buy/make 2 substrate jars (2 for me, that's what I'm going to start out with) then buy two spore syringes, inject the substrates with the syringes, let them colonize, then I take them out of the jars, clean off the verm, put them into a large tubberware with some perlite, then wait it out?
That's it? That seems pretty easy... Almost too easy. Am I being an idiot? Hahaha.

Pre.... I first watched this:
Then, I found the shroomery. I read for 2 - 3 months , and only joined days ago, so I could have access to some of the features not available to Non-members. I have found that careful use of the Shroom Search Engine, can provide answers to almost any question a begginer such as myself will run into. Keep in mind, the biggest thing you'll need besides alot of patience is a Pressure Cooker(p.c.) Take advantage of the dearth of material provided by people who have given this past times years of dedicated effort.... GOOD LUCK

Ya'll are so nice here. Thanks for the help.
I'm going to try to get around buying the pressure cooker by simply purchasing my substrate jars online!

OP: go bulk!
It's easier than you might think, but do a lot of reading before you buy anything. Get a firm grasp on exactly what supplies you need for what style of cultivation you are going to go with. I, like many others, skipped PF and went to the monotub, and I sure am glad I did. 30qt bins are my favorite, but a 72qt sure flushes nicely!
There's some links in my sig you may find useful.

You could just steam sterilize the jars if your using PF tek, buying premade jars online is more expensive and takes away from the potential of growing again.

just use a stockpot to sterilize like RR did on the video , I guess if you are doing just two jars you could by the premade ones , but its not hard or expensive to make your own

Size is a problem, so I'm just starting out with 2 jars in a 2 quart fruiting chamber. Also, I'm gonna try to do it stealth in my closet. Next time I will probably end up using RR's method w/o the pressure cooker to make jars. I will up my fruiting chamber size next time as well.
Just trying it out and hoping for the best. Growing green was definitely not my shoe-business.
I feel really confident now, thanks everyone. Best forum on the web.

i would suggest not buying premade jars. making and sterilizing them is just soooo easy. and yes steam sterilizing them works but if you can borrow a PC from someone you know or pick one up at a thrift store it is much more effective

Can't find any websites that offer only two substrate jars
Anyone got a website that they'd like to share?

I wouldn't buy premade!!
But.. Since you want to... Go to out-grow.com
They are a sponsor and where i get all my supplies. I would get a pre sterilized myco bag instead of jar, it'll be more worth the money

I'm only making two jars so it wouldn't be beneficial to do it an entire process.
I'm also following the PF-Tek so I need jars :/ Thanks for the link though.

You can use a bag and fruit it just like the pftek jars in a shotgun fruiting chamber, you'll just have better results
And out-grow has a BRF bag too. It would be just like a jar, but bigger

Alright! Bought everything except the vermiculite and the perlite... but that's not really needed until after the birthing.
I'll try to keep you guys updated with my progress.
