 First Timer - Want to use manure and straw teknique

 I'm a first timer, i want to try growing shrooms with the straw and manure teknique. My friend gave me the directions to do this but i need to make sure it is all good.
I'm using a 3 shelf greenhouse 27"wide x 50"high x 20"Deep
17quart Pressure cooker
3 alluminum turkey pans
alchol prep pads
rubber gloves
cotton
Organic Popcorn
Start by filling the pressure cooker half way up with corn then add one gallon of water and let cook at 15psi and let shake for an hour.
after an hour strain all the water out of the cooker and add the corn to three mason jars and drill holes in the middle of the mason jar lids and pack the hole with polly fill cotton
Then inject the syringe threw the cotton and squirt 2cc of spores into each jar.
Let the mason jars fill up with white mold and after the jars are all white, pressure cook the straw and horse sh*t to get all the bad jerms out of it, then take the straw and manure mixture and lay a layer of it across the bottom of the turkey pan then lay in the corn and then put another layer of the straw mixture on top of the corn then lay alluminum foil accross the top of the turkey pan untill the surface has a white mold across the top of the straw.
after the white mold has covered the top of the straw then take the foil off of them and place them into the green house with a humidifier and just wait for the shrooms to start growing.
If anyone no's how to do this procedure please critique me i need to make sure i'm doing this right my friend used to do it and he grew pounds upon pounds this way and its the way i want to try.

Welp, nope thats not how you do it. You got wires and info crossed up and you need to do alot more reading then I feel like typing. There are many FAQ's on these subjects that will clarify either what you heard or what your friend told you.

your friend seems misled....You prolly are not going to jump into poo/straw right away with lots of success. You should start with just grains(wild bird seed or rye) to get going... you have lots of reading to do--start reading every growing tek out there and then compile it all into one.....
so start reading...

You need to read some of the teks available on this site before you start. Your methods are out of order and will most likely contaminate the way you have listed them.
eg.
Simmer grain (popcorn), then load into jars.
Pressure cook jars, let cool, then inncculate.
You also might want to check on the proper way to prepare your substrate, look into casing methods, etc.
Good luck in your efforts.

you aren't listening to what they said, what you are looking for is going to be a TEK, it'll show you step by step what you need to do w/ pictures. follow these steps and you will have success. go to the main page and look up mushroom growing information. newbies should start with the pf tek for simple minds IMO. once you get that down sky's the limit.

A few quick questions for anyone that can answer them for me.
first off i have a Canner not a pressure canner and i was wondering if it would work instead of a pressure cooker or pressure canner.
If i'm using a greenhouse and a humidiffier what do i constantly want the humiditty at.
Last question I'm using manure and straw and i was wondering, cuz it say's to let the straw and manure simmer is there like some kind of bag i'm suppose to put this stuff in or should i just put the manure and straw in the pot and turn it on.
thank you for your help

OMG
LISTEN to what they say, if you dont LISTEN then why ASK? :?: And why should people ANSWER if you dont LISTEN anyway? 
Read young man, read, nice sunday afternoon to read some faq and cultivation manuals.... All available here at the shroomery. 
And then come back...  I dont think you have much credit left for the moment so, LISTEN! 
Good luck though!

Edit: No! First simmer your syringe in bleech, then after half an hour add some Pressure Cooked straw/poo, let it simmer for half an hour more.
Put in the freezer overnight. Next day load everything in a bucket, jam the lid on real tight and, throw it away.. Or maybe some people here want a contest so they can win it!
