:rockon:  Yeah there are some good ones in there.  The confusion happens because, of the volunteer nature, you get a much clearer picture by reading what every body says about one thing and before you know it you head is swimming in deep water because you don't remember what you read where and just keep getting distracted lol

Rather pay someone to organize if for me.

Also, go to TC profiles and read their write ups on different things. Also be mindful of post age when you go searching. I always sort by date so I get the newest results first.


Don't worry, my posts are timeless, and so are my underneathers. :mugatu: :nodofunderstanding:

@Jebi What Turman said is 100% true, to be honest all I did to learn was to go to Search Posts and do this:



Type your question, check on Trusted Cultivators and put newer than 4-5 years (you can go with more years but info starts to get shady). Free knowledge about almost any topic!

Checking TC's signatures or profiles where they link their teks and main posts is also a good source of knowledge. Everything by pastywhyte, Beefsupremejr, bodhisatta, Josex and stipe-n Cap is a must. I've also read a ton from others TCs but can't remember all their names right now but I'm still super thankful for their threads.

OK, just didn't know if anyone had written anything a little more academic I guess.  I just find my curiosity peaked about all things about the process as well as just the steps or whatever.  Like the beer brewing bible was more organized and informative.  I learn good that way.

At the bottom of a post, there's a number of icons. One of them is a finger with a string tied around it. That will add the post to your favorites, which can be found when you go to "Account". That alone helped me tremendously with keeping things organized and easy to go back to.

They were sold under name Thai, I'm not sure which species they are.
Spores have very dark purple color, almost black. And this is how its mycelium  looks on agar.



I wonder they might be Lipa Yai, Thai buffalo ring or Koh Samui, but I have no idea which one :C
Any ideas?


Compare to Psilocybe cubensis

I get what you're saying too, but if you start with the HHG as many suggest you should, you can read that in order for an awesome overview, follow links and maybe go down rabbit holes, but with the option to return to it for grounding in fundamentals, and not get lost... That and/or the table of contents at top can keep you oriented as though in a book, imho

I'm getting lost now with chasing information, and fact checking back and forth, trying to learn in forum format. 

Are there any good books, with hopefully lots of pictures, that are well geared to the best practices discussed on this sub as well as pertinent minutia about growing coir loving mushrooms or whatever?  I want to learn more!



I had a couple weeks getting lost at first. It helped to write down every single recipe in a notebook.

Also the hitchhikers guide to the shroomery.

Also, Bods easy AF teks... look them up and bookmark them

I like books too, but unfortunately home mushroom cultivation is moving so fast that any published books are now woefully out of date, just like mushroom ID books.  It's a bummer, but the cutting edge is here on the forums with us mentally ill lot :lol:

I think your best bet would be starting with the hitchhiker's guide and treating it like a table of contents.
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28501530/fpart/1/vc/1

Once you have all those basics down, start looking into other things as well.  As others have said and shown use the advanced search feature and cut off your search at about five years old.

When you do see people talking about methods, make sure it's not just someone saying whatever they want without proof.  Do they consistently get good results?  Do they back up their claims with proof?  Have they even posted a single grow?

I've noticed a lot of people in here lately being very cocky about slinging around information with only one or two grows under their belt.  One of the louder ones hasn't even finished a grow yet.  Dismiss information from people like that.

Just remain skeptical and you'll do good :thumbup:

Most noob puppet accounts can be attributed to yours truly. I often argue with myself in long post format.  Deep state shroomery. :lol::rofl:

Ive been reading in the gourmet section seeing as im trying to grow some Shitake, King oyster and Lions Mane and stumbled upon people writing about buying expensive commercial cultures. So im wondering why would i buy an expensive culture on agar or grain if i can just buy a mushroom and clone it? Seeing as i bought it from a commercial vendor it should be safe to say i now have a commercial strain right? :stoned:

King Oyster clones



Cloning store bought mushrooms is a great place to start. What you get with an expensive commercial culture is a younger, less expanded culture, which has in theory been through less environmental stress. The mycelium in that mushroom from the store has likely gone through a lot of expansion - agar -> LC -> maybe more LC -> grain spawn -> maybe more grain spawn -> maybe sawdust spawn -> production block -> fruit -> transport, storage, etc. Whereas the one you buy from e.g. Field and Forest is more likely just stored culture (slant or agar plate) -> agar -> transport.

You guys are all right I think, tho I don't see how you see. (I know the names of many TC's and I do read everything y'all write, when I can) And yes I'm going to reground myself with the HHG and try not spiral out on tangents about understanding too much for a while. 

But when you say nothing is helpful, what about a book that is actually good at explaining a lot of the background science that keeps distracting me.  Like all the life cycle of a cube like fungus, and known issues in cultivation?  So many books, and I just want to know what is happening better, so I can use that to parse a lot of the how to that this forum has been quite good with doing all along.  I never been much interested in biological science until all this, I've had different focus, so I don't already own a microscope or anything yet lol.

and thanks again dudes.
