How many syringes per gallon?

Hello board members,
I decided to venture into this new hobby last month. I have a lot of experience in gardening, so I decided to grow my favorite fruit - shrooms! So, I went ahead and ordered 4 syringes last month (4 completely different straints)
However, till now, I have not had much success. I have used one entire syringe, but I cannot see any signs of germination. My medium is as described on this site - I used vermiculite, brown rice flour in 1:1 ratio in a 3 gallon pot with miracle grow. However, it's been over 10 days, and I don't see any signs of germination. What I should I expect to see? When I grow other plants (inlcuidng weed), one normally sees a baby plant with two tiny leaves. What should I expect for shrooms? Is it possible that I have not used enough of these spores? Is 1 syringe enough for a 3 gallon pot, or should I add one more syringe? I know that these mushrooms grow in the wild on cow poop. I was thinking of mixing some cow poop to speed up the germination. Any idea where I can buy cow poop?

You read on here somewhere that you should load up a 3gal bucket with verm and BRF, and miracle grow then just shoot a syringe into it?
Follow the link above, an/or search on here for a BRF TEK.
It's a little more involved than shooting some spores into a bucket of flour, and miracle grow, but it will be more successful I believe.

Hey, sorry for asking noob questions. That link wants me to pay. Is there any free video or document available? Also, from the reply it seems that I made some major mistakes. I am really sorry about that. Do you guys think I should add cow poop to the mix for more nutrition for the shrooms? I will save the remaining syringes till I come across a good guide.
Thanks in advance

It doesn't want you to pay to watch the streaming videos....but it's not like $9 is going to break you for an actual copy.
Those videos will help you alot, if only the streaming ones.
Watch them and read all the pages....then read some more.

Hey, thanks a lot guys. I just realized how wrong I was :p I didn't realize that I first have to ensure that the mycellium grows without contamination/competition, and then fruit that. I really thought shrooms are like plants :p I am going to start off with pf-tek here: http://www.fungifun.org/ Is this tek up-to-date?

So, I have been following the four part video. I haven't started yet, since I was procuring things. Quick question: I can't find jars in my country without a shoulder, so I got tapering glasses. I plan to cover them with 3-4 layers of Aluminium Foil. Can this go wrong? Any tips?

They will still work, just make sure they are short, and not really tall at all.
The taller the glasses, the higher the chance of the substrate towards the bottom will end up compacting, causing the cakes to stall out.

Mushrooms aren't fruit.
