For $175.99 it better jump out of the box and suck me off when it arrives.
I'm sure it works, but so does an $8 plastic tub from walmart with $4 worth of perlite in the bottom. The walmart tub is larger and will therefore be capable of producing more.
Sorry if this is a shroomery sponsor, but that's my opinion.

All they are is an expensive TiT / PMP clearly you can see there is nothing special here, IMOP get a good AA pressure cooker and make your own jars / subs. You will save a ton of money in the long run

I was seriously considering getting that. Then I read the shroomery for a few hours and changed my mind. I just couldn't bring myself to spend $175 when I could get so much more for the same price. I kept thinking, why am I going to get this thing, I'm not a retard. I decided to buy a bunch of presterilized substrates and build my own kit made from stuff I bought from walmart and the pet store. I'm very happy about my choice, I don't think I'll be disappointed. Next step, strerilizing my own grain, which is where I have had problems in the past. Contamination was a serious problem for me a few years ago (10% success), so I was looking for a "magical solution" this time, but really I just needed to clean my house. Get the mycodome if you're lazy and stupid, or lazy and rich.

When these questions arrive the answer will always be this:
"It's always cheaper to do it on your own then pay for the kit"
Any vendor is like a convienence store, you pay higher prices so you don't have to do extra work. The kits also come with customer service and other benefits, but the bottom line is they don't perform any better or do anything more then something you built yourself does.
If you're lazy and have lots of money you can have everything handed to you. If you enjoy putting some effort into your project and like getting your hands dirty, DIY.

basically the mycodome is a rip off from the hydra-pod.
I picked up a used hydra-pod many years ago for $100.00
and I still like to use it now and then.


they do work pretty damn good.

hahah that's awesome. 5 gallon paint bucket, 10 dollars worth of hydroton, and a plastic bubble. Although, i must admit, the hydro pod logo on the bucket is pretty snazzy :thumbsup:

A search for "Mycodome" and "mycodome" didn't give many relevant and useful results... Sooooo, here it is:
What do you all think of this product? Anyone use it?
The Mycodome
Potential flaws, problems?
Don't miss the video at the bottom of the page...
before i started growing i was actualy gona get one, aint gona lie. but for that price you could make your own and have money left over. most get intimidated when they want to grow, they read about all the teks, supplies, sporse, all sorts of weird shit. but its all very simple once u break it down and take it step by step. PM me if you need help. i can send you info on how to build everything yourself. its idiot proof.

dude for 200 you could buy a pressure cooker, a submersible water heater for an incubator, a shitload of tubs, tons of perlite and vermiculite, spores, bird seed and horse shit
so basically u could be everything u need AND it would be better than that dome shit

That would be awesome Roadkill. Not sure how much mushbox would like that, but it's not like we have been supportive of the kit anyway. Mushbox has a pretty nice video of how to put the mycodome together, which shows all the parts. My question is, where can I get a dome like that?

I just want something that fits nicely onto a 5 gallon bucket like that. Any ideas SpicyTunaRoll?
mmm, I love tuna. Seriously, my favorite sashimi.

These premade kits are just like roofing, It will cost u a fortune to hire somebody to roof your house. Or u could do it yourself for cheap. One is easy, one takes work. One is fast, the other takes time. One is cheap, the other breaks the bank.
They don't suck, they're just a different way of going about this hobby.

if you just look at it and on the internet for similar items you could assemble that very thing for under $50

lol I challenge you all to attempt to assemble your own mycodome for under 50$
and yes we did get the basic idea from hydropod but the mycodome does alot more than the hydropod, its a 3-in-1 system for incubation, fruiting, and drying your mushrooms. so its 3 times as useful as the hydropod.
Also you have to factor in the guarantee and service, go ahead and try to put your own mycodome together, but you can only blame yourself when it doesn't work properly.
If you purchase the mycodome from www.mushbox.com or www.mycodome.com you get the full guarantee and if things don't go right you can always come and email us for support. Good luck trying to get support from the places you bought all your mycodome parts from.
If we were worried about people dupicating it we wouldn't have the parts all listed clearly, or a video explaining how to set it up in extreme detail.
Again all the power to anyone who wants to build there own kit, but we offer quality products guaranteed to produce results.. simple.
