A simple list created to encourage beginners to pursue mycology without being intimidated by sourcing supplies to begin.
Below is a list of supplies that you'll need in order to start growing mushrooms, which were all purchased from a dollar store.
• Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 50% • Paper Towels • Aluminum Foil • Disposal Gloves • Medical Tape • Canning Jars • Popcorn Kernels • Nails • Shoeboxes • Hand Soap • Strainer • Hammer
Unfortunately there are a few items that can't be found at the dollar store, those are:
• Coco Coir/Horse Poop • Spores • Pressure Cooker
Source the above items in any way you'd like. The pressure cooker will be the most expensive investment; however, it is necessary.
It should be noted popcorn is a less preferred grain among cultivators. I included popcorn on the list because to the best of my knowledge it is the only grain you can confidently find at dollar stores. It does work and is convenient, it's all in one place.

Don't toss them! Glass jars from spaghetti sauce, jam, and/or jelly can be used for grain spawn or brf cakes.
I like to search local classifieds (print or online) for my bulk sub materials. Most can be had for free.

I regularly save my salsa jars since I like the shape and size of them. Don't forget about brown rice.

I encourage people to search for bulk substrate (horse poop) locally it is given away for free often on Craigslist. The only reason I hate repurposing used jars is the existing odor and for the beginning mycologist this can result in fear of some type of contamination.

Do you have an Asian or Hispanic market in your area? They usually sell it in bulk.

Popcorn unfortunately is a grain most dollar stores carry (yellow/white) both work the same. If people can find whole brown rice I'd encourage them to buy it, grind manually or with a coffee grinder to follow the PF Tek.
