Where did all the donors go?
    #19158407 - 11/19/13 06:14 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I'm looking to help fill local organic shops and restaurants with medicinal and gourmet mushrooms!


Its my first time growing alot at once but I'm looking to really help educate people on the benefits of organic medical and gourmet mushrooms. I know many local people suffering from all sorts of stuff that want a more natural approach to health as well.


So I'm thinking even though I can't use the market place. I'm hoping I can possibly inquire someone help me get a few start up species. I wanna support the community and would gladly send spores/cultures back once I harvest. Or I could just owe you a print of one you need and I'll go find it. I just need something to cake up and fruit while I wait 3 months.

I've been trying to get a spore sample of any kind for awhile now. Without funds I can only trade what I have listed in my signature.


I know you guys kinda frown on newbies for asking for spores and stuff and bailing out on you guys but maybe some people will see my sincerity and will help a fun guy like me help the mushroom movement!


Thank you to anyone willing to help!

Damn you guys are pretty rugged on the newbies when it comes to this. lol

I can't believe nobody has a little faith a stamp and a sample.
But I guess someone had to ruin the generosity of others.
Either way this community is still awesome.
On a positive note I got my Folding@home working better now.:thumbup:

You might have to wait a little longer than 3 hours for a response. Most these guys have jobs and you posted first thing in the morning.

Can you work with agar?

you don't usually start edible mushrooms from spores if you don't have to.  you use cultures.  PM me and I'll see if I can't help you out...

I'm not trying to be harsh when I say this...but you still have a lot of research to do if you want to make this work.

Start here www.mushroomvideos.com the online download will cost you $10 an is worth every penny.

After that, start doing searches on the various cultivation websites for the specific species you want to grow.

I've just never grown from anything other than a print. So you know. Don't have experience in the agar media realm bro. But I've got information up to the throat. I'm reading through Mycelium Running as we speak man. I just really need to do this and get experience with it firsthand while I'm reading the steps. Visual learner not memory based.

Me personally I'd say that instead of people telling me what to read they could instead offer a spore sample to a fellow human. Because I know that's what I'd do.

Edible spores are fairly uncommon. Starting with a live culture will put you ahead of the game, by a lot.

The Spore Depot has liquid culture syringes for $15. Sterilize your grain, then inject the culture, done.

There are species where you can start from spores but in general most gourmet growers use cultures either obtained from a vendor or cloned (wild or store bought).

Thank you again for doing exactly the opposite. I've seen the market on my friends account. People dish out spores like crazy for free and otherwise. It would be dumb to get a strain that way. I want to use spores people have brought to their prime. And support the community spore trade. Not fund commercial prints and spores. Sponsors or not I just dont think its cool man. Love goes into some of those spores out there. I want spores with love. Not spores sick with profit.

So again. I know this is happening because I'm a newbie to this site. Maybe mycology in general having only a few grows and a few books done so far. But the last thing I need is someone coming in and regurgitating the information in front of my face and all over the web.

I asked for help getting spores or cultures. Not help growing them. But thanks anyways.

And the useless information exchange continues. This forum doesn't read HELP IM INCAPABLE OF GROWING FUNGUS!  right?  no. It says I'm requesting help from someone else in the community that would be kind enough to send me the only thing I'm missing. Spores, Cultures, anything.

If you can't help with that its okay I'm really not to heart broken but if people are gonna just flood my thread with info I did not request and that is off topic and that I already know. Especially If your gonna put all that effort in and not help me reach my goal. Then don't waste my time and your time posting info neither of us need. Stay on topic and stop throwing up the basics on my request thread.
Thank you!

The spores in the marketplace are damn near exclusively psilocybe or paneaolus. I haven't seen any edible prints offered in quite a long time. Most cultivators don't keep edible spore prints, they keep cultures.

www.bemushroomed.com

There may be some spore samples there, but I haven't looked through all of the listings in quite some time.

Now I think I'm just going to see my way out of this thread...

Even to his very last post he continued to tell me stuff I already knew. Thank you Captain Obvious! Now that everyone in the world gets that edible mushrooms typically come from cultures and not prints can we move along?

Seriously. And just about zero people have spore prints of edible gourmets.


If you want free spores or cultures you could go out and hunt for the species you want and clone a wild specimen. You could even clone a store bought very easily, but that isn't free which is apparently what you are looking for.

And thank you one of many people who come in here and state the obvious. Clearly the spore thing was for medicinals and cubes. Jesus. And I'm the newbie here? How many people really surf threads to state the same thing others have already. I can already see this community is plagued heavily with captain obvious syndrome.

It's really just this all the time? Nobody can help others out. Make things simple. Whatever happened to having faith in your fellow human?

So because I want a few spores to get started and get some cultures and stuff together so I can help the community and people who are new. I'm some sort of newbie asshole? Because any asshole can fuck over the people on this site. But that doesn't mean every new guy asking for some help is a con artists.

And it doesnt matter how free I want things to be. Because it seems nobody can even spare the fucking 68 cents for postage. So while you bitch and cry about how I want a free bit of assistance. On the other note in that same breath your saying it should be an expectation to pay money for everything. What the fuck kind of hypocritical shit is this?

So am I supposed to rape people for change to help them out too? Does nobody here work enough to spare a dollar to help someone who will send it right back when they harvest? What the fuck is wrong with you people? A bunch of scary slimeball pocket rapists over a dollar? not even. either theres alot of homeless people on here in need of change. Or theres a very large shortcoming in the community. But what the hell do I know. I'm a newbie. I just babble out my but and steal everyones prints.

A bunch of filthy cantankerous scum dwellers. Here's my pocket change for you leeches and vermin. This thread is closed.

Nah this guys right. The people on the other thread were too. Im being an asshole. A huge mega douchebag asshole. Gross. My sincerest apologies guys. Let me know if I can do anything to right any wrongs I may have made.

I'd appreciate any help at all but dont expect any after being a huge dick. But thanks anyway if things were nice and did work out. Its the good that counts no matter how hypothetical.

Coming down off Kaht is a bitch. 2 days no sleep. Ill be normal when I sleep hopefully sometime soon. Even though that doesnt excuse my actions its still part of it. I need some tea and a meditation session. Let me come back here in a bit after Ive gotten my big boy pants on. Cause I'm just being a know it all about shit I prolly don't understand as well as I think.

YOu guys are alright. Despite what opinions you may hold of me. All is well.

Maybe by the time you get market access you'll have learned humility.  Good luck getting anything for free til then.

I've given out many free cultures, but I give them away to people who aren't ignorant beasts.

The Lord helps those who help themselves. 

  • Read up here on the Forum about cloning
  • get together a still air box and gear to do your transfer work
  • go to an Asian market and buy some fresh Shiitake
  • take them home and do a few tissue transfers
  • go get several more species and repeat.


I hope this helps you.

Tear the mushroom in half using your hands, so the inside flesh has not been touched.  Using a flame-sterilized knife or scalpel, cut out a tiny square from anywhere inside and quickly transfer it to agar.  Make several samples in case one contaminates. 

You can also buy Telephone brand agar at most asian stores for a buck fifty.

If you don't have agar plates you can use short half pint jars for your agar.

This can be a poor man's sport.  You do need a pressure cooker.

Buy a couple King oysters too while you're there ... they're easy to clone and fast growing.

Nice dude. Now I can start taking samples from wild species when it gets warmer. Our markets don't have any fresh mushrooms except buttons. And they could be GMO for all I know so I don't mess with em.

If you know how to use agar you can go to the grocery store and buy some mushrooms to clone or print.

Lol...get you a copy of one of stamets' books before you jump into this and wonder why it's all going to hell.  I think stem butt cloning could be a good start for your purposes.

Oyster stem butts and some cardboard might get you started immediately, now that I think about it.

Still not interested in a button from a supermarket especially. Theres no market for them at all. And I don't know where they have been or what they've been through.

I have a couple of his books and am currently reading Mycelium Running.

there are markets that sell more than just button mushrooms. When i visit the Asian market they have at least 4 varieties of mushrooms - shiitake, enoki, king oyster, lions mane and maybe others i cant recall.

Well I'm glad your so fortunate. We have buttons, buttons, buttons, and buttons. Not even organic. Science lab filth that nobody really knows what has been done to it.

If you don't like science you are in the wrong place, sir.  A lab is essential for large scale cultivation.  But I agree, buttons are likely sprayed with chemicals and therefore undesirable.

Yup. Better stay away from that 'science lab filth'.
Commercial mushroom factories are kept extremely clean, especially the lab. There are no chemicals sprayed, and there is no such thing as 'GMO' mushrooms.

Unless of course you consider lab work such as selective subculturing and strain development 'GMO', which most of us on here do every day.

You know, I have given at least 60 people on here cultures without expecting anything in return. This is one of the most generous communities I have seen online.
But you wouldn't want one of my cultures anyway, since after all they are from my filthy science lab. :lmafo:
