Want to grow mushrooms..
    #19048759 - 10/28/13 08:49 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey! Pretty much a complete newb and almost as ignorant as you could be about the process of growing shrooms. I've read a little bit here and there out of interest, but now I really want to give it a go.

I want the easiest way to go about it. (Who doesn't?)

Should I get a kit? (One with temp, light and contamination control)
Or do I go gather supplies?

I personally don't mind spending a little extra money on a kit to skip the trial and error of doing it, you know?



Where do I get a kit?
How many grams of mushrooms do you typically get? (Dried amount?)

I'm sure these questions get old to those of you who have been on the forum forever, but that's what it's here for, right? :smile:


Thanks!!

PF Tek
Look it up and do exactly as it says.

Last time I grew, I had only one cake contaminate (out of twelve) and ended up with over 50grams of dry mushrooms.

Brilliant! Where do you go about buying the spores from?

Im a noob myself, but trust me...DONT GET A KIT.I wasted 120$ on 40-50$ of materials PLUS the jars they sent me were contaminated upon arrival. I went and picked up some jars, Brown rice flour and vermiculite and made my own for about 20$.If i were you, Id do a Shotgun style fruting chamber. All you need is a bin, perlite and a light source, then you put your cakes inside. But dont make the mistake i made..kits are horrible. And do a few days of research. Watch all of RR's videos. And if you want, this video is out dated but has some good info


As for the method, i would do Brown rice flour cakes, you dont need a pressure cooker for this method. As for spores, id recommend edible legal spores from a sponsor

Good luck!

I wouldn't buy a kit.  Doing everything yourself is the best approach to learn fast.

Watch your local thrift store for a complete used pressure cooker as they can be had super cheap and are worth their weight in gold caps for stopping contams...I have a few I paid les than 5 bucks for... Even if you stop growing they are great for cooking pork taco's so a good investment either way...

I'd recommend using it for sterilizing your PF Tek jars. It's the easiest and most definite way to get started, and get to know what you're doing.

Steam sterilization works just as good as a PC for PF Tek cakes....

You cannot kill anything deader than dead.

That being said, if you have a PC, it would only benefit you to learn grains and bulk substrate.
