Cultivation Advice

Ok, me and two friends have been planning to cultivate mushrooms, and we were going to use this tek http://www.fungifun.org/pf/pf_en.htm
I recently found some jars that already have materials ready for cultivation and have been steralized. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW
Not sure if that link works or not but hope it does
I know that I could save some money by doing it myself, but I don't mind paying a little more. Do you think that those jars that are ready for the spores would work as well as doing it myself.What would you guys recommend I do.

A. Stay away from ebay for mushroom stuff in general, so many ripoffs
B. Secondly, those are bird seed jars. And you have no idea if they're really sterile. I wouldn't take the chance. especially after shipping.
Lastly, making your own jars is very, very little work. Just buy the verm and brown rice. Mix with water, and put in jars with some dry verm on top. Sure, you'll have to sterilize, but I would sterilize anything from some random dude off ebay as well

I thought WBS wasn't really good for fruiting. I don't know that much about WBS, yet, though.
But I'd resterilize those jars anyways... I don't think I want to put much faith in stranger's work, especially from e-bay.
Oh.. another off topic question.. would this be considered "adult material" by paypal standard?

Ok cool. Thanks for the advice guys. I have some questions about cultivating too. What steps should I take besides not touching the cakes to prevent contamination, and how necessary is a PC for sterilizing. Can I do anything else to sterilize? And finally, what site do you think would be best to order spores from?

Hey m8, I havenot been growing mushrooms yet but I am READING much, on this site and on other places. My advice to you is READ! Read the PF TEK ! Search the postings here and look under: Mushroominfo > Growing mushrooms in the menu at the top of this page.. And so on and so on!
Good luck , MF

Glad to hear that paypal helped you out of that mess, but in the future I would AVOID making sure payments with them. If they deem it inappropriate (which in this case its more than probable to happen at some point), you'll be charged 500 dollars. Just a warning about their new regulations.
