How to grow mushrooms
things to get
aluminium foil pressure cooker 2 - 3 (depending on the size of your monotub) jars with metal lid or plastic lid where you can drill a hole in them size 1 quart/1 liter pot colander micropore tape 55-60 l see through tub/plastic box drill 1 - 1,5 liters (depending on wether you use 2 or 3 jars (depending on the size of your monotub) ) or so of rye grains 2/3 of a brick of coco coir misting bottle isopropyl alcohol paper towels mushroom spore syringe bicycle wheel if you can't shake the partly colonized jars without it
empthy jars drill a single hole in all of them preferably 1/4 inch put on micropore tape
rinse about 1 liter - 1,5 l (depending on wether you use two or 3 jars (depending on the size of your monotub)) rye grains 3-4 times with colander put in pot and fill with water approxitely half half little less water put on lid
let soak for 4 hours
boil rye for 7 minutes
put in colander
shake and stir till dry to the touch
put in jars till the middle of 2/3 to 3/4 full
there is to be no standing water
put middle much water in pressure cooker and turn on pressure cooker and pressure cook water without lock for 10 minutes to make sure you pressure cook water and not air
put lots of aluminium foil in bottom of pressure cooker about an inch or two this way the jars dont break because they are not in contact with the bottom of the pressure cooker
put aluminium foil on jars super super tightly as tightly as you can this way the jars don't dry several layers we need to cover it tightly enough so that water doesn't evaporare from the jars
put in water almost almost to the top of the jars in the pressure cooker not in the jars
tun on pressure cooker at 15 psi and cook for 90 minutes
when done let sit for long time
then take lock off
if it lets out steam let it set like that till it doesnt then open or wait then open
if it doesnt put out steam you can probably open but maybe wait till youre sure it can open safely always have lock off before opening so the pressure is out otherwise it can explode unnecessary disaster now your grain is ready for inoculation
clean an area preferably with isopropyl alcohol and paper towels
flame needle
whipe needle with isopropyl alchohol and a paper towel
inoculate 1 cc in a jar and put micropore tape on and fast
repeat for all jars
let sit without direct sunlight
when 20-25 % of jar size has mycelium shake the jars till all the grains are seperated
if you cannot do this bang them on a bicycle wheel
if you cannot do any of this maybe you can let it colonize fully without shaking
let stand for some days till all of it is covered in mycelium
to make the tub you drill holes about 5 inches apart all over the tub except at the bottom where the substrate will be (5 - 6 inches). then put micropore tape over the holes. congratulations you have prepared your tub and you can put in substrate and mycelium.
now prepare substrate like this 
boil 1 gallon of water in a pot
do this in clean area
put coco coir in the pot, enough so you can fill the tub to 5-6 inches height of the cooked coir (maybe 2/3 a brick) and have the water cover the coir
dip the brick in the water so you can seperate the coir
when luke warm and body temperature pour out excess water
pour out water till you can only squeeze a few droplets of water out of a handful of cour
if running water comes from it you need to squeeze out more water from the coir
wipe the inside of the tub with isopropyl alcohol and paper towel
put the Coco coir in the tub
wipe spoon with paper towel and isopropyl alcohol and and mix the mycelium from your jars with the coco coir
the thickness should be about 5 inches
put the lid on the monotub
let the monotub stand with light but not direct sunlight in a super clean place
every day mist with spray bottle with water and fan (shake lid from side to side) 2x
mushrooms will come up and then harvest when caps have opened you just pick the mushrooms and seperate them as close to the growing medium as possible
for second flush fill tub with water so that it covers the substrate leave for 4 hours then pour out water 4-5 flushes can be had
a flush is a growing session where you use the tub as is without more rye
easy peasy happy growing and tripping

you hold the jar where the lid is and hit the wheel with the jar you can also wait till it's all colonized but when you spread it it colonizes faster I like to do it that way

I feel like this tek has filled in all the missing gaps I had cultivating for the last 20 odd years.

"put middle much water in pressure cooker and turn on pressure cooker and pressure cook water without lock for 10 minutes to make sure you pressure cook water and not air" i'm confused......shouldn't the air be cooked also?

I think he's talking about bleeding the air so it's filled with steam.

I think it just means you cook water into the air instead of just heating air it's not essential was from a different tek it seemed important so I took it to the tek I suppose you can just leave the lock off and see if steam comes out when you pressure cook for real

It was a joke, just like this"tek". There's no need to purge the air when there's not even any jars in the PC yet 😆
