Xmas is coming - Give your friends their own mini terrarium... * 1
    #4878552 - 11/01/05 05:35 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

If you are stuck for a gift for xmas, give your closest friends one of these. Just a note that a similar idea was suggested in this post. I didn't get the idea from here, I made a few of these and did up the pictorial on how to do it, then read that post. Great minds I guess....  :wink:

Gather the following materials -

1 Liter yoghurt container -



1 Jar of colonised WBS or colonised PF jar -



Some polyfill -



Some sterile casing mix -



Wash your yoghurt container well with bleach and water.

Using a marker pen and a tape measure, make a dot about 5 centimtres up the side of the container - on opposite ends.



Cut holes where the mark is about the diameter of a pen, and cut one the same size in the centre of the lid.



Stuff these holes with polyfill.



Gather your equipment.



Using a sterile spoon, spoon some of the mycelium into the bottom of the container, about 1 centimetre below the polyfill holes - leaving a little space for the casing layer. Make this nice and level.



Add some casing layer, and smooth this over the mycelium - it should be the level of the polyfill.



Give this two or three pumps with a hand mister and distilled water, and put on the lid.



Expose to light, wait a few weeks and -



Edit: I recently did this experiment again and managed to get some pics of the results this time, so thought I would add them since it is nearly xmas again (ended up producing enough for two people to have a very merry xmas :wink:) -



You have a perfect little automated terrarium for your friends who would love to see their own shrooms grow but dont share the same passion/knowledge as you. Merry Xmas!    :thumbup: :mushroom2:

Polyfill stays just fine, but yeah your right, clear containers would be a bit better. Waiting on the fruiting of one of these right now, will let you know how it goes.

Badass Otto. But like I mentioned in the other thread, giving this gift lets them know you grow.

Not knocking your idea in any way, for I think it's completely cool, just a heads up if you didn't think about that.

That is an awesome idea! I will defiantly give those to a couple very very close friends of mine, maybe it'll keep them from mooching from me for awhile =)

:smirk:  Very nice idea for a gift.  Doesn't get any simpler than that.  Although, I'm sure my friends would find a way to fudge that up too:evil:

Depends on how close your friends are I suppose - keep it for a few select 'special' friends.

I was gonna give a terrarium that's all set to grow to my best buddy...but then decided against it. Seems like it might end up being more trouble then it's worth.

What was your yield? Have any full growth pics?




Unfortunately I didnt get a yield or photos of the mature mushrooms, I was away on holiday and the units were given out as presents. I was informed that they popped the lid off though they grew so big. Probably about enough for two cruisy doses, but a second flush came through as well after that.

Agreed, although they did fine off just WBS alone... a little poo would be the way to go.
