Hey all!!! First post, whoooo! So, anyway, thanks to you guys, i have decided to grow, and got my syringe and all that lovely stuff. Well, i'm cheap, and innovative despite what you guys said lol. sorry hardheadedness is a problem in all of my family. Well, i used natural rye flour and Compost soil/rock for the substrate, and inoculated them. My question is, how does mycelium grow? Can it grow through the soil, because i noticed there was little or no air room at all. Ah fuck, i hope i didn't blow $15 . So guys, my question is, do you think it will work? It's got the nutrients, and i can see a little growth beginning to come on, i'm just wondering if it can fully colonize the area, or will i have to take those cakes somewhere else? (Like outside).
Theoretically speaking, they grow inside shit, so can i expect to see them colonize it. Damn i want this to work bad. I've never tried mushrooms and i don't trust anyone.....i'm paranoid, and i'd like to try them reaaaaaaaalllly bad, and therefore wanted to grow them. Thank you soooooo much shroomery, i love you all!

First off im gona tell you that in my opinion you've probably thrown your 15 dollars in the trash.
find the PF tek or i'l link u to it in a minute
here http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23593
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PERFECTLY!! for your first grow
learn whats going on, see whats going on, make notes, make observations. ------> then after you know works you can start with your innovating
???your saying cake so im assuming your using jars seems to me like what you have done now is got your jars packed down so tight that it would take sooooo long to colonize that it will probably dry up first.

thanks man!!!! btw, so mycelium can grow through soil? I didn't pack it tightly at all in fact, i tried hard as crap to just loosely fit the soil in their, but by its own nature, it just settled out. The thing is that i've looked around my city (charlottesville), and there couldn't find any vermiculite as hard as that it is to believe. (If anyone lives there, gimme tips to where i can find some). Damn, that would suck to have wasted $15. But my containers are air tight. So tight, michael jackson couldn't fit his pee pee in there. Will it really dry out . Thanks guys.
Btw, if by tek, you mean method, i used the one where you grow them in BRF and birth them in a soda can. I'm dirt poor.

Hey I just lost quite a bit, I was in a hurry and f*ckd-up, But I suppose this is what they call the learning process, we have to crawl before we can walk, and we have to walk before we can run into success!

yeh man you can go to your local farmars co-op and get a 5 litre bag for about US12$ i think. and thats enough to last you for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time. lowes has it in their little outside garden plant area. they sell a 1 litre bag which is much more managable. if not in stock now they will soon be getting loads in for the whole "spring flower" planting season
and here learn about mycelium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycelium

Yaay. thanks guys. lucky i have 1cc remaining. pity the rest won't work, but whatever, i'll keep them around anyway incase anything happens. Btw, i got B+, and was wondering, lets say god came down from heaven and instantly grew out my shrooms for me, is B+ potent enough? What strains would you reccomend for a n00blet beginner like me?

You could always keep em around and just observe and learn. anything is possible...or is it?

dont throw it out, yet. keep it around for a while and see what it does. It can still potentially work perfect. although odds might be stacked against it.

If your jars are truly air tight nothing will grow in them because the myc produces C02 that needs to escape. B+ is just as potent as any other cubensis. Don't know about mycelium growing in dirt/soil either, its definitely not the same thing as poo. In my opinion you should take your remaining cc of spore solution and inoculate some grain or a real cake (follow teks!! thats why they are there). Once that one jar colonizes you can do grain to grain (G2G) to get more going from that one and then fruit those. Good luck with whatever you do and I would suggest putting much more time into researching, if you don't know if something will work you should find out first to save yourself the time and money.
peace

He should take the last cc of spores and do the LC honey tek, off of 1cc he could take over the world if he does it right...
