I have never done cultivation before, can someone point me in the right direction. Maybe show me the easiest tech, or drop me some hints? Thanks in advance.

Well theres plenty of teks,but I seem to have no contams using this method,and its easier with less steps involved.All I do is put 1 cup of rye in quart jar,3/4 to 2/3 cup water,put lid on upside down,then the ring,then foil,shake real good,(also I just put 1 tiny hole in lid so I can inoculate) try to keep rye off walls of jar,put in pc for 1 hour on 15 psi.I let cool overnight,or for 8 hours.Shoot up jars through foil,put another peice of foil on top to cover hole.Shake the jars real good to mix spores,Then I just use a cooler with a zoo med heating pad inside with lid cracked it stayes at a constant 80 degrees.then when you see spots all around in jar shake (I only shake once)Then if everything goes right about 3 weeks youll be fully colonized.After that I use oatmans coir tek. Other people seem to have a harder time with contams than me so maybe im just lucky.I dont go to any huge extent to be sterile, I do my work in a cardboard box turned sideways with just triethylene glycol burning.So anyways I hope this tek works for you cause like I said its the easiest way ive found. Good luck. Also keep with it. Ive been trying for over a year and ive just started having success.Theres alot more people here that know way more than me ,so ask around youll find answers to what ever questions you have.

It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me.

Search for Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek. Skip the PF Tek. You'll thank me later.

What you're going to want to do is take some of those spores and propigate them on agar. Once you notice growth take small pieces and transfer to other dishes until you notice sectors. Once you do that, begin taking each sector out to its own dish. Once you have several dishes that no longer sector, you have isolated several strains. Make sure when doing agar work you use your microscope to help identify contams. Once you're sure you have sterile cultures, take a bit from each of those strains and transfer, under aseptic conditions, to a jar of sterilzed grain. Grow several jars of different strains and fruit them. Note their various traits. Once you find your the strain that has all the qualities you want in a mushroom, revert back to the petri it came from. Transfer a piece to another jar of sterile grain and that's your master grain jar. You can then G2G from that jar and when it runs out, go back to the petri. You'll probably have enough spores to last a lifetime.
So, do just that. Take a small piece from your petri of the strain you life and put into a half gallon jar of sterile grain. Use that jar to G2G as many jars as you feel like preparing.
While you're doing all the agar work, you're going to want to be preparing a custom mushroom spawn. I'll just send you here for that http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=2&Number=5341136&PHPSESSID=&fpart=1#Post5341136
Now you have several hundred colonized jars and some great compost to spawn too. Pasteurize your compost and spawn 1:4 ratio to it with your grain into deep trays. You're going to want a 4-6 inch depth of substrate for optimal results. Let that colonize for about a week or so and in the meantime, prepare your casing layer. I hope you have a ph meter. By volume measure out 1 part vermiculite and 1 part peat moss. Add a good handful of CaCO3 and use hydrated lime to adjust to a ph of 7.
Apply an inch of your casing layer to your fully colonized substrate (make sure it's even) and let colonize for a few days. Once the casing is evenly colonized, put it into fruiting conditions. You're going to want about 80% humidity and 6 air exchanges per hour.
Congrats. You just grew several pounds of mushrooms that will last you and your friends the rest of your life.

You are right I am wrong. If that courtesy was common this forum wouldn't be so cluttered with posts by people asking for links to "cool techs"
I am being a dick and im sorry its just hard enough to find good info anymore most searches are riddled with posts like this without any actual information.
