So I'm guessing I'm somewhere near. I'm going to have a look at buying RR's video. I watched the demo's and it all started to make sense.

Is there any mycology books that apply to mushroom growing? Or do they just void off into un-necessary complications like most comprehensive books I've tried to study?

Maybe this is a silly question (noob here remember) but mushrooms grow outside naturally, where I'm from there is a changing in climate and up until the first frost, they grow pretty much at the tail-end of Summer. Why can they withstand the conditions in a field but not in some pre-made artificial environment?

In the end Doing things yourself is 100% easier!!! The kits are great but don't always preform. I highly recommend just doing a small PF tek instead of a kit!

Because they're wild mushrooms and have become accustomed to your area.
Psiloscybe Cubensis are a tropical fruiting species. You can create an outdoor bed and they will most likely fruit but will die during the winter (As yours do). I don't recommend an outdoor bed for security reasons and for your first grow.

You don't have to buy the videos, (Although RR will be very happy)
Just watch them and repeat what he does. Eventually after you do it once or twice you get it and then I would suggest exploring but for now KIS (Keep It Simple). Then if you want to buy it go ahead.

A good person to read is Paul Stamets:

I have to say, this has got to be one of the most interesting hobbies I could of bumped into and I've bumped into a few in my time. What gets me is the expense, it doesn't cost anything to turn yourself into a mycologist. Well it does of course but it's far cheaper than creating other psychedelics out there and the possibilities seem to be endless.

How long you guys been at it for?

Me?

Only a few months. Some of the members that have responded here are fairly new as well. You learn quickly when it's beaten into you though :lol:

:whathesaid:

I'm new too, the thing is once you start understanding a bit, it gets easier and easier to read stuff and be like "Oh alright, that makes sense" then be able to explain to yourself why it would make sense in your head.

When I joined that was the first week that I even thought about growing, I had no idea what I was doing. I had to rewind on RRs videos just because I didn't understand some parts that now make me wonder how I could of had trouble understanding.

I'm still a noob, I only joined four months ago, I barely have any actual experience, what I do have now is knowledge, that allows me to potentially help other people and be prepared for things I have to do in this hobby.

In this hobby, reading and listening to what people say is the most important thing you can do. Once you start understanding things, nothing seems overwhelming. It's easy to tell yourself that you can do something new with no problems, as long as you just follow the directions.

Just grow kits out of the question, it's then down to obtaining spores. I'm struggling then to find a reliable source as all seem to sadly be scams or sound too good to be true. Shame really *sigh*

Thanks man :smile:
don't want to derail from my original intention to create this topic but it seems like over the course of a few hours I've pretty much found out why you should grow mushrooms yourself and that seems to be...

quite simply to cut ALL the crap out of the experience. Will I get the right product? Will it arrive? If you are waiting on spore syringes that's different because you have all the setup there for half the cost and you can say you did it all yourself..

Maybe it's just laziness, people these days want everything doing for them..

How suggestions on a starting 'strain' to grow? I was thinking B+ but APE  looks incredible!

Buy both.

Grow your B+ while you wait on your APE because you WILL be waiting on your APE :lol:

EDIT:

APE is a notoriously slow colonizer and fruiter but if you can get a good grow going you'll be a very happy man indeed.

Im thus far a happy man regardless.
However.. those APE harvests look tasty.

Like we dont have enough envy as it is and then it comes in mushroom form to add to it all!

*Joking about the envy part* :P

I'd get both for sure if you want APE. I recommend it. I have 8 syringes of the stuff I'm just waiting to fruit.

I bought a grow kit as an impulse purchase.  That got me to read up on my new adventure. Since then I really wish I had not wasted the money.  My "GROW KIT" was a farce. Do a little research.  The "lets grow mushrooms" videos I found on YouTube.  I am still in the middle of my first grow, but I believe I have learned a lot.  If I were you, I would start with BRF cakes.  Watch the videos and do a bit of reading. It would be well worth your time.

Grow kits are a waste of money. Bottom line. failing is part of the learning process. You will want to skip failing with a grow kit because all you will learn is to not buy another one again.
