For real though. Do things right and even if you don't like the experience use the skills learned to feed the neighborhood. It can even be a good source of income if you do it right. All of the tools can be used for other things too like canning soups, dips and sauces.

Yea man. Grow oysters sometime. Theyre awesome! I make szechuan beef with them.
But anyways. Write a list and do research for what u need. A $40 PC will do. U dont gotta get an expensive one, uve never even tried them. Save the money up and buy 1 thing at a time if u have to till u have everything. Buy spores last. Once u do it lime that and succeed ull never look back

Your kit probably wasnt sterilized very well. In my mind kit companies are infamous for sterilizing the minimum amount of time to crank out as many kits as they can.

I do appreciate all the help and suggestions guys. Does anyone know a Dummies guide to it? Also is there like a half-way-house where you sterilise your own medium, but buy in a sterile syringe so you don't have to mess around with petri dishes and agar? My knowledge is just bits I picked up from reading posts on here.

Read a tek. Use the search bar. Look for a wbs tek. Thatll get u half way there. And all the teks are for dummies lol then once u find a wbs tek u want to try, do it. Then once u have colonized grains, do coir with the bucket tek. Then the rest is pretty much just mixing spawn with coir and fruiting. Pm me if u want. I dont mind giving u some pointers

Don't listen to that. You have a filthy syringe. I wouldn't put it to anything but agar.

You will never find this. You should always use agar, but a lot of us use No pours My suggestion to you is find the largest, cheapest pressure cooker you can and get started with that link. When all is said and done, If you don't want to come back to mushrooms, sell it. Better yet, learn to make pasta sauce or pickles.

A sterile syringe wouldn't grow anything it would be sterile..
Noobs want an axenic syringe but that's basically impossible to create.

It's also a good coverup if you are ever asked by someone as to why you have a very large pressure cooker laying around

Pickled red onions are bomb. Make your own pickled jalapenos the crunchy kind not that soggy shit.

I like to pickle red jalapenos (from my aunt's garden). So damn good.

I meant a sterile syringe. There would have to be 0 life in it to be sterile. A sterile spore syringe is either an oxymoron or doesn't have any (live)spores in it. You can buy a sterile syringe but it will be empty. Also, spores are inherently dirty and cannot ensure they will grow only myc

Because I haven't seen or learnt the process up to creation of a prepared syringe, I assumed they were growing a clean preparation (for example in that agar plate stage) and then taking that mycelium or whatever it is, and putting that in the syringe in some kind of antiseptic medium. Please don't laugh, it was just all in my head and Ive not had any mushrooms yet!

That's illegal. Spores are legal while live mycelium is against the law, spores come from mushrooms that are grown in open air that carries millions of contaminate spores. Therefore spores are inherently dirty. First they let the mushroom cap drop it's spores onto foil, then they either fold them up and sell them as prints,or they mix into sterile water and suck into a syringe. They are not allowed to do culture work for you as that would be breaking the law.

In short. Spores are dirty and putting them into a syringe adds a few vectors. Prints are typically cleaner.
