i am new to growing, and i know most of you will say read around.....i have read around and still havent found a way for an idiot to grow........i heard about the one that you put on top of your frindge, but that site is shut down now......ihave a problem keeping a sterile enviroment.
it's kinda funny how you need a sterile enviroment, but they grow from sh*t.......
but yea, if some one can help with a "idiots guide to shrooms" that would be bitchin.........
once again sorry if this is out there, i had trouble finding it.............

In Vitro I'd imagine. Hippie3 has a good in vitro tek, but from what I hear it isn't worth it compared to just fruiting them the traditional way.

the traditional way is a little too complicated for me....i am more of a visual learner, where as when they use scientific words and stuff, it is hard for me to understand, i need people to ask what the words meen.
i am looking for a lamens terms version on growing....i thing i undersatnd it, but i am not sure.

He is talking about the old Home Stead book company's tek........they are no longer dealing in spore cultivation for legal purposes.

I haven't seen anything like it, then again I had never used their tek.....from what I've seen, it looked like a casing technique.....they way they described it was weird.......all you had to do was mix compost and spores and place it somewhere like on top of your fridge......nothing else! I wonder if that was just good marketing, once you got it there was probably more instructions.

I'm doing something that if works would be the easiest thing aside from ordering a spore syringe. Just get a medium sized tupaware container with one small hole in the lid somewhere, so you can inoc later, and some vermiculite, brown rice flour, Karo/Honey (optional) and some water. Take the Verm into a mixing bowl and pour either water or boiled water with some Karo or Honey mixed (for an added boost... i hope) until the verm doesn't hold any more, then put some BRF onto it until it looks like there's an equal amount around the verm chunks. Then put a layer of dry verm on the bottom of the tupaware, and fill the rest of it up to about an inch with the concoction you just made, then pour some more dry verm on top. Leave the lid a little loose and microwave for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how badass your microwave is. This (if works) would of course just be PF cake put into a tupaware, so i'm not claiming to have come up with this in anyway. Actually my friend gave me the idea, so i'm just passing it on. There's also a Fast Food for the Gods Tek that details something with other ingredients that i didn't have. I purposefully didn't measure anything just so if it does work it'll prove how awesome mushrooms are by being so easy to grow, aside from of course they're other benefits. I defintely have my doubts, but i had some extra stuff so I thought i'd give it a chance.

There is no easy way, really.
There are, however, methods with good results. The large number of factors involved foil even the most advanced growers every once in a while.
Just dive in, start off with the PF Tek, be detail oriented and plan on it being 6-12 months before you attain acceptable results. It could be longer, but I know someone who had his first fruit after around 30 days from the start.

6-12 months?? for what?? your not talking about a first harvest are you?? I succeeded my first attempt, took about 3-4 weeks from start to finish, and I didn't see this as being that great..
