About to try growing shrooms for the first time - Suggestions?
    #18910421 - 09/30/13 08:49 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hello, I've been doing some searching around and youtubing and forum hunting... the usual to learn new things...

Here's where I'm at, I'm thinking of buying a ready made kit, an aquarium heater, and Golden Teacher strain shrooms (I like the name mostly).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Simple-Mushroom-Growing-Kit-6-Jars-Grow-Mushrooms-Fast-/300960343788?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item4612a266ec
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300W-Aquarium-Heater-Anti-Explosion-Submersible-Fish-Tank-Water-Adjustable-/281148747350?pt=Heaters_and_Chillers&hash=item4175c56e56

Edited

Those are the 3 things I'm considering buying.

And here is what I think I'm going to need to do.... you guys tell me if this sounds about right...

Fill tub with water, add water heater set to 84 degrees, add bag of perlite, Make the tip of the needle hot to sterilize, inject each jar with 1/6 of the spores I receive (one needle), put jars into tub on top of perlite, leave in dark closet until fully "white" and colonized, pull cakes out and put them on top of the perlite, turn on lights for 5-10 hours a day until suitable, pick-dry-eat-trip-smile.

I've heard of a "birthing" method... where when the cakes are colonized you put them in a water bath for 24 hours.... then transfer them to the tub with perlite and water. Not sure if I should use that or not.


Does this sound like I will have some fruits from my labor the first go? Or do I need more direction?

Will this kit with a heater work well? The price is right for sure... I like the per-sterilized jars that come with it.

Thoughts on golden teachers? I like the name.... being taught by a shroom makes me happy.

I've done shrooms once, and acid once. I will never do acid again... but I will do shrooms 50 billion more times. Loved the effect.

Don't post links to spore sellers in a post about growing.  Spores are sold for microscopy use only.

All that stuff is outdated by 20 or more years.  Colonize your jars at normal room temperature on an open shelf in a room.

Kits are usually a waste of money and rarely work.  Just make your own BRF jars from items in your local grocery store.  Also, the name on the syringe means nothing.  People pull names out of their asses as if that defines what a strain is.  Most disreputable vendors only have one strain, but advertise many and simply mark the syringe with whatever name the customer ordered.

Might I make a suggestion, if you want to really get some fruits, skip the pf tek completely. Look up popcorn tek, or WBS tek's, and lookup "monotub"'s. I'm sure these will strike your fancy.

Hi MuffinShroomMan!
    Just what RR said.  Ferget the info ya got anywhere elce.  Seriously.  The BEST info ya can get on shrooms is HERE at the Shroomery. I learned everything I needed to learn about PF tek here.  Use the search function and look up PF tek.  Theres a few tutorials here and if you fallow them exactly, you WILL sukseede at growing your shrooms.  So now instead of makin fun of the way I spell sukseede,  look up PF tek RITE HERE at the shroomery.
    Fagettaboudit!  Next time I use the spelcheck

ShroomMan...utilize that search bar. Tons of great information/teks from mycologists with vast knowledge and experience under their belts.

Welcome to the community, and good luck!

Happy growing!

Thats so expensive for something that will yield very few fruit. If this is just a one-off, then go for it. But you could just as soon buy some jars, plus the ingredients, a thrift-store pressure cooker, some free syringes from your local done clinic and some $2 spore prints from the european spore ring, ans have many many mushrooms :smile:

Its a one-off... I don't plan on being the guy who grows you know? Paranoia is a killer. Just needed one person to tell me it will work easily and make very little fruit. TRIGGER HAS BEEN PULLED! WOOT lol.
