Easy mushroom trek, for people who just want to grow their own shrooms

Hi, I saw a lot people posting on how to grow mushrooms easily for themselves. The responses were disparaging, making it seem hard, or hit or miss like the homestead bags, total bullshit, I bought twice, one worked, lol. But anyway, I made up a hybrid between Brown rice flour jars and manure bags, out of 12 half pint jars and six one pound manure bags, I usually get 4 to 5 ounces dry.I like brf jars more than rye because they inoculate well, the spawn is always strong. And the myceleium grows really well on that stuff. Anyway, 2 1/2 pint jars to one pound of manure bag. You can buy the jars on eBay already sterile, the manure bags I buy from "growout" its a pun, lol. Spores in syringe form from the internet. My only piece of equipment is my plastic tote I cut holes in for a glove box, just holes for arms.and the usual dust masks and rubbing alcohol and nitrile gloves, torch lighter for syringe spores, you only really have to be clean twice, inoculation and when you break up the spawn jars into popcorn size pieces, in glove box, and put into manure bags. And of course the mandatory airing of bags and misting. I personally use a Vicks ultrasonic humidifier for misting,blows a big fog of cloud, not harsh like a hand sprayer. Anyway, I have good results. I call this Steve Tek, I don't know if I invented? But if anyone wants details its ok to contact me,

have you tried making some yourself and buying some online and see how many of each fail over time? since you dont need a PC its way cheaper and IMO more fool proof to make them yourself 
checkout these videos from RR, vid 1-4 on the brf-tek www.mushroomvideos.com

All the jars online have been good. I have not had a problem. Same with manure bags. Same company. I know you are right, but this works ok for me? I'm really just trying to let people know mushrooms are not that hard? I just saw postings about how to do? And people were kind of mean to one guy, told him to " take a poop in a shoebox and put in a closet" lol. I just thought maybe someone would like my easy tek

Making brf jars yourself is infinitely cheaper than buying them online, and also very easy. At most, you will fuck up the first batch, but then you'll be good.

thats exactly what I'm trying to tell you too there's absolutely no reason to order those online! mix water,verm,brf, put in jars. boil in pot 90mins. voila.

Yes, for sure. Anyone can learn most things if they are intelligent.I agree much cheaper, Steve tek, now I feel ashamed, lol is really just a easy tek . I just thought, some people would like as an alternative to the crappy kits on online. They suck, I bought a few.Steve tek works pretty good,if people want to make their own jars that is cool.really I'm just a guy who tried "with trial and error" who can grow shrooms. At least enough for himself, and themsome, I just found that brf worked better for me than rye in small bags. That's it

1/2 pint jars ofBrf seems to colonize better than any of the large rye jars I inoculated, maybe just me,but always dead spots,tried shaking and all that.
