Thank you Shroomery!

Although I haven't really appeared much, I've been perusing the forums and site daily in my exploits. And I gotta admit, the atmosphere surrounding new growers is pretty daunting! Hence why I've lurked in the shadows... In any case, after trial and error, two failed cultures I've learned-
1st Failed attempt: B+ BRF cake Cause- Improper Jar/Too much spore solution (4+CC's per 1/2 pint jar) moisture content thrown off, jar simply died... Learned to SCRATCH ANNOYING LABLE OFF SYRINGE!!! Couldn't see how much solution I was using with the dammed goggles fogging up!
2nd Failed attempt: Ecuadorian Grain Culture Cause- Waited too long to fruit due to abnormally cold weather, culture dehydrated. Adjusted fruiting chamber to include two sections to insulate better
3rd attempt successful: Ecuadorian Grain Culture- Did a simple casing method I expected to fail, culture surprised me and using an upgraded fruiting chamber produced beautiful fruits, though small in quantity... Now having a successful setup and routine I plan to remedy that as well... Though my paranoia prevents my divulging of pictures, just wanted to thank the shroomery for the indirect help...

Take the damned goggles off! You'll see better :lol:

Seriously, follow the teks, build a proper SGFC, not sure how cold it is where you live, but if you can stand the temps, your mushrooms probably can too. Congrats on your fruits, fuck the paranoia you should post pics :thumbup:

Recently the high outside has been in the mid 20's, and since I am away from my apartment most hours I leave the heat off, it gets below 50 when I'm away! But my new terrarium setup (though annoying in size and overall obstruction of living space) seems to endure the extremes relatively well... Really can't wait till spring when the additional precautions wont be necessary! And yeah, the goggles where me being overly cautious in my sterile techniques, but never had a contam yet :P

That's pretty cold, your better bet would be to get a oil heater and heat the room there in, rather than trying to modify an FC to be insulated or heated. Such innovations are often the root of disaster. Also if your concerned about contams, build a SAB, it will be all the precaution you need :awesomenod: You will need one anyway to G2G and do agar if you decide you like the hobby.
