definitions and pronounciations with some newb questions
    #5849479 - 07/12/06 12:19 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Gotta ask afew questions regarding terminology and pronounciations of certain cultivating related topics. My friend and I are big fans of magic mushrooms and have always gotten ours via other suppliers. Needless to say we havent always been fully satisfied with quality or stability with supply. We are taking it upon ourselves to attempt to cultivate our own mushrooms. We have both read ample amounts of grow guides. We plan on ordering some syringes tomorrow but before we do that I dont want to be a complete moron so I ask afew questions.

1. How do you pronounce mycelium (sp)?

2. I would like to grow larger quantities then a group of cakes would yield. I see pictures of cake pans full of mushrooms grow what is that technique called.

3. I happen to have access to lots of fresh horse manure. Is this a good substrate or should we make our own? I've read P. Cubensis grow well in dung.. and this is dank dung..

4. Any suggestions on a website to order spores from would be great. I am thinking sporebank and ordering the B+ Strain.

If you can answer any questions please do so. I apologize if similar topics are already on the board but I skimmed it and I can only read so much.

Thanks for your time and wish us luck.

MY-SEAL-E-UM or MY-SILLY-UM

Woah... You need to do a PF tek grow first. A dozen jars will produce plenty for a couple people. Pans are variously called bulk growing or casing.

> 3.

Don't have any experience there.

> 4. Any suggestions on a website to order spores from would be great.

Only use shroomery sponsors. Quality is enforced by the shroomery and the public discussion of vendors here. Ralphsters is probably the most highly recommended.

you should try the cakes first. or at least if you are going to try the h/poo method then do a dozen jars along with it. the jars are a good starting point though. also if you do your jars right you should get a good amount of mushies of them

I agree go with cakes first so you get an understanding of the process. If that is EZ for you though you could always spawn to poo. The only supplier I have used is spores101 they are very good and quick, they will sometimes throw in extra. Have fun and good luck  :biggrin:

I think you should deffinately try casings first if you wanna. People are always going on about how noobs should do PF cakes cause they are alot easier and whatnot....personally I've never even done them, but if you understand the process going on when you grow out a PF cake then you understand the procedure for a casing as well.

Granted it might be a bit more work the first time around (pasteurizing the straw/horse shit whichever you decide to use) and you'll probably need a pressure cooker to sterilize the jars of grain spawn you're gonna be using, but if you wanna have nice yields you deffinately gotta go that way.

And about the horse shit; I've never used any but from what I hear you need to dry it out first and let all the ammonia evaporate from it or smth. Basically spread it out on a tarp and lay it in the sun...

Anyway good luck, and just type CASINGS or BULK in the search feature. That should give you days and days worth of reading material.

In the upper left hand corner of this page click on 'mushroom information'. Then use the drop down for 'growing mushrooms'.

Read all of the sub-sections.

**Opinions incomming** You can start doing 'bulk' teks right away. These teks often use horse manure and straw. No need for the PF cakes first.
Fav. Vendor: Ralphsters.


Welcome and good luck!

Bad advice. Start with PF tek. Much, much higher success rates for first timers.

Encouraging people with no experience to jump right into tougher teks is not good advice.
