A little late but my advice is to: Just buy this book and follow the directions. It's the simplest, easiest path to success. & will be less confusing that the contradictory and often out-of-date info found online.
In addition, you could buy a copy of Let's Grow Mushrooms! Hard to go wrong with that old chestnut of an instructional video.

Most books are outdated before they are printed. If you want to use current methods find them here with the search engine. Use the filters on the engine to strip out results older than 5 years and click the TC box.

Most people start with the PF Tek- It's small and simple and is a low budget introduction. Don't worry about dosage or storage yet- you need to learn some basic skills first.
1)Read the PF Tek
2) Read the PF Tek 20 more times.
3) look through the cultivation threads on here. Ask questions as tehy come up- BUT - the search engine here is really good. Use it.
4) Get a syringe from one of the vendors here. B+, Golden Teacher and Orisa(sp?) are probably the most common varieties and will fit your needs perfectly
4) Get some jars, lids brown rice flour and a little bit of vermiculite.
3) Make a simple Still Air Box (SAB)
4) inoculate your jars with the spores.
That should get you started.

This is it, right here.
If you want to buy a kit, go ahead.
If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms properly and be able to develop your own intuition and instinct about growing, then you need to learn. A proven way to learn, that innumerable people (including myself) have followed, is to read this forum. Read, read, read, read, and then read some more. Follow along with the current postings on the board regularly, and see what reputable growers say in response. Use the advanced search feature intelligently to follow up on questions you have. If you want to learn how to grow, put in the work to read what TCs and other people with proven results have suggested about all topics.

Is there a new grower FAQ? What do I search for?

Not sure a link to a list of other forums, with hundreds of other threads and thousands of opinions on what to do is the least confusing option?
But it's probably up to date. heh.
Good luck, OP.

That's an overwhelming firehose of information.
What's wrong with starting with PF Tek and some cakes?
My success with cakes lead to PC's, bags of spawn grain and agar. Gotta crawl before you can run.

I started with grains and tubs and pasteurization of manure. I read lots of shit I really didn't need to. I did it all by searching the forums, and had awful teks in the shroomery home page. It would have been kick fuckin ass to have that link as a noob, just proving there's really no one right way to help a new person.

Ikr. That's a fuckin shit ton of work put in so noobs can do it right. Kinda annoying that people think it doesn't work. I wonder how many people out there use those links because they actually sat down to read. I didn't even register until 2 years after my first successful grow, so I know there's tons more like me. If you can't actually read, you probably shouldn't be attempting this.

those are freaking gold right there. I would have killed to have that shit when I started. Is it a lot to take in? Sure. But it's also exactly what ya need. Put in the reading and learn to do this and eventually you don't even need a tek. You just do it.

This is kinda what we're all up against here.
Most of us had to learn the hard way, from ridiculously outdated sources, and are kinda protective of our hard-earned knowledge. Or, maybe, don't wish to step on anyone's toes by suggesting one tek over another? Also, there's that bias that every retail worker suffers from: we've been here for years and don't understand why noobs can't just see the same thing that is obvious to us. "LOL, where's the ____? Idiot, it's right behind you."
Personally, I just think tripping in general is a good ego-dissolving, world improving thing. So, the more mushrooms we can get into the hands of average people the better. Though, if we open the doors, like Leary did I guess, and teens start getting bold and busted for nonsense, linking back to this site, well you can guess the outcome. Anyways, just follow my initial advice and you'll be okay. Let's Grow Mushrooms. pretty much everyone here can agree that this is a good place to start. Or, choose a TEK from that link and come back here to ask for specific questions...fuck. I don't know. I have so much to say about this topic but what will anything change? Not bloody likely...

nothing wrong with starting with pf tek it teaches you alot and is much more forgiving. It sets you up to do bulk with a bit of knowledge and experience like how important sterile tech is, and teaches you to spot contams and not be so attached to your work and try to save shitty jars.
