Wow. I had 2 spore syringes, and used one of them winging it based on knowing a few basics.
No pressure cooker, just boiled/steams 3 glass jars with a bit of unmeasured brown rice in them. Distributed the spores amongst the 3 jars, which vary from a a bit over a quarts to closer to 2 quarts.
Then I found the Quart jar tech, did some reading and realized I probably had the odds stacked against me. I think I nuked and threw away one jar prematurely due to fear of contams. To my surprise, yesterday, I found pinning! Quite exciting. I'm still concerned that not having followed any tek properly and most importanly, the risk/probablity of contamination, that these little guys won't fruit completely without getting a mold or something. Is there a stage at which the shrooms are relative "safe", a maturity level where they're less likely to go bad on you once they start growing? These guys grow fast.
BTW I have a pressure cooker and quart mason jars, to follow the quart jar tek precisely now that I've found it. Lots of great info on this site, can't wait to try new methods down the road.

at fully colonization they are relatively safe. if you get contam it's usually during colonization.

Well, terrible pics, but I got plenty of rice starch on the sides of the glass while shaking the spores and rice up, and I'm afraid of taking the lid up for more than half a second.



Got a PC and some quart jars ready, to follow the Tek in the posted grow guides, gonna get started in a few.  Btw what might look like white spots on the pin-heads is actually on the glass. The heads are thus far pretty even brown color.
Btw I plan to follow the Quart Jar tek to a tee, though I'm first going to let the rice sit in the distilled water for some time, as I've read/been told online this can help bring out some pontential contams embedded in the rice. Hoping that and PC for over an hour at 15psi will kill it all.
