yeah thats a pretty horrible guide.  its got most of the steps there but right off the bat you should be skeptical of something that refers to mushrooms as "plants" and mycelium as "mold" :smile:  its nice somebody tried to simplify the process but when you cut that many steps out and do it half assed, you're going to get really half assed results.

i'd suggest reading some guides on this site (like the pf tek, or magic mushroom growers guide, which are both really similar to the link you posted, but much better for many subtle reasons), and you'll see there's many similarities, but some important differences.

all that aside, the advice above is a good answer to the question you actually asked. :smile:
