Biolapse, Time lapse Photography Vs. Mushrooms 4

Good evening friends!
My name is Chris Field, I am a Time-lapse film maker.
My last film is Carnivora Gardinum, which can been seen at the following link.
I released it about a month ago, and now I am working on my next project which will be heavy with mushrooms and really push my techniques to the limit.
I am a complete NOOB when it comes to growing shrooms, but I am motivated, a fast learner, and not afraid to take on a challenge. Carnivora Gardinum was actually filmed in an environmentally controlled studio I built into my basement here in Colorado. I can tightly control many aspects of the environment(humidity, temp, , create day and night cycles, control cameras, fill lighting, watering cycles, all using equipment that i designed and built myself Full disclosure I am also the owner of The Chronos Project where we build and sell motion control equipment for timelapse photography.
I suspect this will be quite a bit more difficult than Carnivora Gardinum, especially with some of the shots I want to film.
I am starting to put a list together of mushrooms I would like to film, including Panellus stipticus. I would also like to do some oyster style, maybe some white button mushrooms, and probably enter some sorts of Cubensis.
I have been doing some reading, i plan to try to grow some in various substrates. I understand some work well with PF Tek, some with oak sawdust with some carbonate and gypsum mixed in, others with other types of substrate that i am not yet familiar with.
I have a large incubation system that a friend of mine built a while back, he used it to cultivate some psychedelic mushrooms with good success. It is a large cooler hacked together with a Jagermeister machine. its actually pretty impressive job of re-purposing some hardware. It will probably hold 60-70 1/2 pint wide necked cultivation jars.
So from here I have a budget of about $400 to buy jars, substrate, autoclave bags, possibly a pressure cooker, spores, and some set building materials. I think I should be in good shape.
While my friend will be giving me some assistance, I know I will end up running into some issues and have some questions which he probably will not have an answer for. So I figured I should come on here, introduce myself, and let you know what I am all about.
This is really an art project, I would like to stay within the legal limits because I will be filming this and putting it online for the whole world to see. The last thing I need is some overeager person in some sort of law enforcement to come banging on my door because I filmed the wrong mushroom, so I need to do some legal research as well.
Sometimes there is some B-roll footage. I had several shots of carnivorous plants that did not make it on the last film, I am sure I will probably have some mushrooms that will not make it to this new film as well.
I will probably just try to keep things in this thread unless the moderators object. I don't want to overfill your forum board with dumb noob questions, and I promise I will try to find the information first. I have always been a fan of forum boards and have been a regular poster on many photography and automotive boards, as well as timelapse photography boards. On Carnivora Gardinum I received some excellent advice about growing tropical carnivorous plants in the high altitude dry colorado from the community at terraforums.com. I would not nearly have had such success without their help, I suspect a large amount of the success of my next project will be in large part to the help and advice i get from this forum board.
Thank you guys, hope to talk more soon!

Awesome video, looking forward to the next 
If you want to have psychedelic mushrooms in your mushroom project but want to stay legal, you could work with amanita muscaria. It doesn't have psilocybin or psiliocin, but it contains other properties to it.
Or you could simply just say you filmed scenes with illegal mushrooms somewhere that doesn't outlaw them

If a time comes where I fail to appear I've been abducted and I will miss you all Please smile and pet puppies as often as possible Be happy Be nice (<3);}

Damn, that was in your basement?!
Welcome!
You'll find info about oysters and buttons in the edibles forum, but I'm super excited to see what you'll make. I'm not sure it will for sure, but my guesses is this will be moved eventually. but you'll be able to find all the info about cubies in this area.
You can find all info about cubies in the mushroom cultivation forums, didn't realize this was posted in the pub
Peace!

Yeah do fly argic if you want some popularity on your video but not unwanted popularity. And they are honestly more magical looking than cubes. Awesome video dude Post some b roll footage exclusive for shroomery with cubes and such too... just don't pick them and its legal to photograph I believe

Time lapse Reishi growth would be really cool, but I think they're more difficult to cultivate.

you've made such a great time-lapse clip there. nice 
I'm really interested in them. my camera has the time-lapse mode feature, and I've made a few short clips, but they suck compared to yours. How do you move the camera during the process? is there some special technique I'm not aware of? and how do you change focus like that man ? manually ?
hope you guide me somewhere, thanks. you rock

Hi everyone! Thank you for the film compliments.
Thank ou for the top on Amanita muscaria aka Fly Argic, I just googled it and WOW, those very well may make the cut! 
psilocybist, The motion is done by the use of a time lapse rail. There are a lot of brands, i use a Chronos Lite and Chronos HD from www.thechronosproject.com. Makes sense though because I own thechronosproject, and designed and built both systems with my partner. In a nutshell it is a rail with a carriage on it. It will take an image, then move a tiny bit, take another image, and move a tiny bit. By repeating this it gives that motion and a nice sense of depth.
The Focus is also using one of our products, a Lens Apparatus. basically it will move the focus ring on the camera between images
