So I have been contemplating the issue of growing my own P. cubensis seeing that here in AZ they are pretty tough to come by well at least with me. The only way I know where to start is supplies. what all will i be needing and what can i be expecting to spend? and where do i get the supplies? especially spores?

just to elaborate a bit, if you can't find brown rice flour you can get brown rice and grind it in a coffee grinder. i get my verm at lowes. they've always had it where I live and I hear some places don't sell it all the time. Read the basic cultivation guides on here. read read read.
also, if you use a Tub in tub incubator I got my fish tank heater at wal mart. it was 28 bucks and it has to be the one that you can adjust the temp on.

just dont buy a pressure cooker yet if your low on money. you dont absolutely need it, if you have a large pot, your set.

the mmgg and stick to the directions www.sporeworks.com for the spores
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

If you can afford it then get a pressure cooker, you will definatly need it if you wish to progress to using grains.
but for now, the pf tek is pretty good for getting started with minimul spending.
For spores check out the shroomery sponsors.
Verm - most gardening stores, home depot b&q etc Perlite - same as above
Fruiting chamber - plastic container with holes drilled in all sides (check out shotgun)
Jars - if you can get wide mouth half pints ideal, but drinking glasses with foil lids work great (which i use im in the uk , canning jars aint to hot over here)
Search you tube for lets grow mushrooms.
Oh and use a glovebox (also search)
-------------------- PF TEK - writeup by EvilMushroom666 Lets Grow Mushrooms - RogerRabbit & RoadKills website with sample videos plus the full PF TEK video series. Alot of great information - BUY THE DVD Cakes can and will pin! - So you think cakes suck for pins. Your wrong Franks Simple Coir/Verm Tek Franks Proper Pasturisation Tek Franks Spawning To Bulk - Monotub Professor Pinheads RTV Injection Port Tek Foo Mans No Soak WBS Prep Tek
