Okay, Hi everyone, I'm new here I am not new to magic mushrooms but I'm new in growing them. I thought of buying a grow kit. I don't want to put too much money in it but I want a good one. I saw this one, mycodome but its 200 $ And is it good ? I need a small one. Can you recommend me any grow kit that are good and also not to complicated cause I'm really new into all this. It has to be pretty easy. Well... Thanks

RIPOFF!!! read the FAQs here pf tek and WBS and casing. HPOO if you wanna be funkedafied! The stuff you will need will set you back $40 also get a food dehydrator and a pressure cooker thats like $100 and like $25 or less for spores. So for $165 you can have many many grows. With some reading you can make a spore syringe last a loooooooong time with spore printing and LC's.

You can either spend alot of money and have them do it for you, or you can spend less money and do it yourself.
Start at reading the 'growing mushrooms' section of the site. Near the upper left of the site find 'mushroom cultivation', Then in the drop down menu: 'growing mushrooms', Pic anything in that drop down menu, perhaps 'basic cultivation teks', or 'getting started' in the other menu.
Also, look at the bottom of this window and read some of the 'related threads' their are thousands of them if you search the forums because this question is asked often.
To search the forums: Above the thread list and this thread is a toolbar. It starts with 'forum index' etc. One of the tools is 'search posts'. This is a rather handy tool if you have a question that isn't answered in the teks, guides, and FAQ's.
If the above fails you, then please ask the question here because we will all learn from a good question.

I'm new and I'll tell you this site makes it so easy any one can do it IF you do the research. It sounds tougher than it really is to build your own setup.

I couldn't disagree more. If you have some time, a little money, can read, and know how to use basic tools, do it yourself. Alot of times what you make is superior to what you buy.
I gave you those links becuase you're gonnna need to read that shit anyways to have good grows. So you might as well start now.

This question gets asked so much I think it should be int he FAQ. It seems like everytime I jump on the cult forums there is another person askign this question. The answer to this question is.
"DON'T BUY GOW KITS"
They are way overpriced and you could go get the stuff yourself. It isn't that big of a deal. When you are starting out go simple. I know you think you have to have this nice elaborate setup. For incubator 2 tubs, a fishtank heater, and some water. For an FC A tub with some perlite in the bottom. IT is all you need man.
Then whatever substrate you want to use. I would never mess with any grow kit there is because you can get the same results or better with your own homemade kit.

I guess I'll start to read and learn now. I have all the time. Maybe I'm scared to make mistakes by doing it by myself.

yea don't waste money on the kits read the FAQ on this site and you will see all you need can be bought for cheap at pretty much any good shop, start with the PF TEK if you want it simple Try to start Casing right at the beggining cause it is way better then growing from the "Cakes" which you will read about
Whats PF TEK you ask ? http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23588
What is a Casing you Say ? http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/3288
Good Luck, be Safe

Then you were meant to die.
Buying a grow kit from one of those sites does not guarentee you won't get contams. It's your good practices, knowledge gained, observation, and common sense that will get you through.

As long as you buy the right spores and not some deadly mushroom spores you should be safe

Okay, I found this nice kit that has everything I need, I think. The Mycoshack PF Style Kit The Mycoshack Would it worth 40 $ Cause I guess it would end to cost me that price at the end. And I don't have a car or someone to bring me to stores to find the tools I need so it would simplify me. I don't care about the money I just want to have the pleasure to grow my own shroomz. And I was wondering, what is this whole thing of spore print or something like that ? I have to buy some ? I read the informations but as english is not my first language I didn't understand too clear. Now the only things I have is a terrarium. 16" x 8" and I only found long grain brown rice, whole grain, that good ? But like I said I don't really have transport to go shop except on week ends and i have to go with my stepfather and hes starting to wonder what I'm planning I can wait to have all the tools in front of me and start my journey into the world mushrooms cultivation. I think it will be a great experiment 
Keep on rockin' in the free world guys
Thanks for the help so far. Really great informative place is this website

La PF-Tek pour les nuls
That should be what you need. 
You could order that kit from mycoshack, or I'm also sure that the items you need will be available locally, possibly for cheaper.
You will need to order a spore syringe that has Psilocybe cubensis spores in it.
Good luck! 
 Peace.
