The kits i know that come from holland to austria contain perlite at the bottom, the substrate is rye, and the casing layer is vermiculite.

Then that's probably what this kit is too. It grows some very pretty mushrooms, though they seem a bit small, but we'll see. If that is what this kit is, it'll be EASY to duplicate!

Hmm, this kit seemed to be VERY successful, especially for a 'first time grower'.... yet I dont think I've ever heard someone say to use perlite inside a casing (even tho I have seen people ask if its a good idea). So, is it pretty much the perlite is needed in order for the kit to be good when you recieve it, and that if your doing it yourself, there are better ways?

Think of perlite on the bottom the same way you would think of puting gravel at the bottom of a flower pot without a drainage hole. It simply acts as a reservoir for excess liquid.
Grain typically produces smaller mushrooms then manure.
The results seem typical for a homemade grain casing. VERY NICE.
Perlite on the bottom, vermiculite on the top, VERY DIFFICULT TO OVERWATER.
Looks like a GREAT KIT.

I KNOW!!! It;s SOOOO Trippy!! One of the best (if not THE best) shroom pic I've ever seen, if I do say so myself. ?I've been staring at it for several minutes at a time, and just looks totally amazing.
Thanks for noticing.

You're such a conceited bastard! I read that the mycellium, before they begin fruiting, don't contain any psiloc(yb)in. So, it might be hard to prove that it's illegal. I got my first pins today. I'm just fruiting cakes so they look nothing like your abomination. Read the Results and Discussion Section at the following website.

Yes, I've been eating them, for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once.

People (desperate) consume mycelium/extract from the mycelium to trip. That being said there was an FBI (think it was fbi) funded study a while ago on mushrooms which found no psilocybin in the mycelium. It is weird because there obviously is something in there.

Hey there,
Why does the mycelium grow up thru the vermiculite when there is nothing there to eat...force of nature? I have a couple of pints jars of T3 on rye berries that I will try the same thing with (i.e. perlite on the bottom, rye and then vermiculite on the top. Could the vermiculite be replace with Fuller's Earth (this is used in aquarium as the soil as it is not affected by the water...it is ceramic material)? It is sold in bags just like the perlite and vermiculite but costs a bit more. I think I have been getting my substrate to damp in my last few tries as the mycelium dies off strangely....thankfully I have plenty of material to work with and it is cheap to make . Who is the pretty lady?
Best regards,
King Bolete

Hey there KB...
The mycelium grows up through the verm 'cause it "sees" light and moisture up there. Verm can't be replaced by Fuller's Earth simply because it doesn't absorb moisture. You could replace the verm with peat/lime (Jiffy mix) or coco coir, or any 50/50 combination of two of the ingredients. (verm/coir, Jiffy/verm or even coir/Jiffy), but judging by the results you're seeing, pure coarse vermiculite is probably the best casing for rye fed with moisture by perlite.
One of the major things to consider before creating a duplicate of this kit is that fruiting cased rye obviously produces many but small fruits. I think a better use of your pint of colonized rye would be to spawn horse poo with it. You'll get much larger fruits that way. If you like, you could colonize the poo and case it just the way this kit is cased (pure coarse verm pressed perfectly flat). That will tend to give you the type of pinset shown by this kit, but will end up producing LARGER fruits.
I hope I've helped, and I didn't mean to step on Anno's toes here. Anno, please add any comments, and answer the avatar question. Thanks.

Many broken veils, I pulled all but the second flush pins.

77.5 Grams, not including the biggest one, being cloned and three caps being printed.

In reply to:

So that about a ? ounce dried. How much did you pay for it including shipping?
Good luck

First of all, that's just the first flush and the second flush pins are MORE numerous than the first!
Secondly, it's NOT about the money! You guys are all hung up on cash. WTF??
I have the money, I can do what I want with it. If I want to buy 100 of these kits, I will! (I won't, but I could!)
To me, good shrooms are practically priceless. They're worth more than money. You can't trip on paper and metal. Granted, I can grow bulk a lot cheaper than this kit produces. I bought it out of curiousity. It tuned out to be WELL worth it if only for the pictures I got!!

TripMeister, I have been collecting awesome shroom pictures for a while now, and those shrooms look gorgeous! I'm just a beggining culitvator, as you can read about here . I plan to use a casing method next, and when you finally figure out this tek completely, I think I'll try it. Keep up the good work and keep those pictures coming!

Not at all, I was asking the price to see if the kit was value for money mmmkay?
I may want to recommend this kit to a few friends, so instead of flying off the handle, how much was the kit including shipping? Reasonable question in a post containing a grow kit, no?
Good luck
