What was your most unlikely successful grow?!

I wanna hear some crazy ass situations involving cultivating mushrooms! It just sounds interesting... Provide proof if you have it.
Heres my story...
So i wanted to grow some mushrooms but i lacked the equipment for proper procedures (PC, Jars, Everything really), so heres what i did. I soaked some WBS and popcorn from a bag of popcorn made for cooking in the microwave, had to wash the butter off it and everything. Then i loaded it up in a plastic tupperware container and microwaved it for about 5 minutes, i microwaved it three days in a row.
After "sterilization" was complete i cracked the lid and injected 2cc of B+ spores after a few days of no growth i randomly decided to add some PEU spores to the mix just to see if anything would happen, to my surprise i noticed a few days later that there was growth on both sides of the container (B+ and PEU)! It colonized slowly for about two weeks and right around 50% the uncolonized grains began to look very wet and rotten. So heres what i do. I open it up and dump out all the gross uncolonized grains and dunk the colonized grains in a water and peroxide solution, it fizzes up like crazy for a few minutes then... I SPAWN IT TO BULK *Dramatic piano sounds*
It was spawned to a mixture of Coir, Coffee, Grass clippings, and Salvia leaves (for good luck ) Nothing was really measured. It was hydrated to capacity with almost boiling water then left to cool for a few hours.
Once it had cooled i poured it into a plastic sweater box and mixed in the spawn the ratio was about 10:1 sub to spawn. then i wrapped it in plastic wrap and left it to colonize. It is now at 45% colonized and moving VERY quickly, the mycelium looks very healthy and there are no signs of contamination!
Ill let you know if it makes it to fruiting.
Sorry i dont have pics to prove all this, i dont have a computer or a camera, i use shroomery from my phone...
Well thats my story, whats yours? Lets hear about them crazy grows!!!

I've gotten over 15g dry (because they're still fruiting) from the shake of a bag of dried shrooms, no agar. Made the syringes as if from a spore print.
