Rickster, learn to use the Edit feature. What you're doing right there is called post-whoring and leads to cluttered threads. I'm not saying you're doing it on purpose, but just advising you for future reference.

And achoo, I'm telling you man, if you followed the tek I showed you word for word, you will have more mushrooms than you know what to do with, for maybe $150. Another guy on the forum tried his first monotub, which actually wasn't as successful as he was wanting, but still got a quarter pound from it... A q-lb from an unsuccessful first flush (that's not including the subsequent flushes) And that was only one tub. Is that not enticing? It's enough to last you and several friends many many trips. The teks are all written out so that anyone can understand them, once you get the basic knowledge that a couple of day's worth of reading will give you. I really advise you just forget about kits, and forget about the PF tek, as they will leave you with pitiful yields and fruits lacking potency.

That spawn bag tek is really just like doing giant cakes. You get all the ingredients, mix them together, put them in the container, sterilize them, then knock it up and let it colonize. Once it's fully colonized, you put it into the mono tub, case it, and basically forget about it. I dunno, it seems very doable for anybody willing to read and follow the instructions. But anyways, I'm done trying to convince you. Good luck w/ whatever route you choose.

The PF Tek is easy and cheap.
Jars, Vermiculite, flour, perlite, spores, and a $5 opaque tub from Walmart is all you should have to buy. Anything else that's required should be found in almost any household (hammer, nails, foil, etc...)
Mix the jars, boil 'em in a pot, knock 'em up, stick 'em in a box, and put 'em someplace warm like above a water heater or wrapped in a blanket in the top of a fairly warm closet.
When they're colonised, turn the walmart tub into a simple fruiting chamber, fan a few times a day, then harvest the flushes.

You seem to have an idea that some kit will fully automate the growing process and allow you to grow huge crops of shrooms without any knowledge or work. More likely is that you will end up with a bumper crop of mold and bacteria as most kits are only designed to look good enough to get some dumb sucker to drop $300+ on them. Their actual ability to produce a productive shroom grow is almost always far below that of some Walmart tubs and Bell jars or some bird seed, poo, and a few cake pans.

Kit or not, there's no way around it, you will HAVE to find the time to do a bit of learning. At least read through the basic cutivation teks, the cultivation FAQs, and the Cakes and/or Casings section of the cultivation archive.
If you don't have the time to do that little bit of work you're not going to have the time to do the things necessary to get a harvest whether you use a kit or not. If you can't spare the time to learn some basics you really should just give up the idea of growing until you have more time to spare in learning how to do it safely and properly.

Mushroom growing can be easy, but it's not really simple. It's not like growing plants where you can drop a seed in a hole in the ground and come back in 8 months to harvest a fully grown plant. It takes some knowledge and a bit of work no matter what tek or equipment you use.

Ecwfrk I know I havde to have knowledge; I dont expect stuff to pop up on its own he just figures the less we have to touch it the less chance for contam. I would like a really good book on the subject. My computer is broken at my home and my boss dosent have one. I think the do it yourself thing is very interesting.

Paul Stamets wrote the book on mushroom cultivation. Literally. Look him up.

regarding the MYG kit.. there is tons of pics here is a few showing some good results - also again with buying your own supplies and such remember the MYG kit from mushbox comes with a guarantee, if it doesn't work you get a 2nd one free, just pay the shipping cost.

If your homemade kit doesn't work you can only blame yourself.
