I'm eager to hear of your experiences..

For those of you who've spawned indoors to create outdoor patches, I was wondering how much you could cultivate in a grow season.. Many pounds, possibly? I remember seeing a cultivation picture on here a while back and someone had a large, burlap sack filled COMPLETELY with dried mushrooms. IT CHANGED MY LIFE lol... That was when I knew I had to start growing. So might a good season of growing outside produce enough to last someone over a year? Just wondering.. thanks.

what type of mushrooms. I grew a pound of mushrooms using a 1/2 gallon jar full of spawn mixing it with wood chips and growing it outside. That is a pound dry.

In case your question is about wood lovers:
Theoretically you can grow as much mushrooms as you want. All you need to do is to prepare enough substrate and spawn it to enough wood chips. Theoretically!
Your chances to succeed ain't low, but there's still a chance that everything you do contaminates and since you'd do the whole thing outside there's not much you can do about it.
What you can do is to work as clean as possible. That's it!
But even if you'd trip once a week and... let's say two grams of Psilocybe Cyanescens (which would be a hell of a trip for me), you'd only need about a 100 grams. And even if you'd do it with a few buddies, it's unlikely that you'd need more than half a pound!
It isn't such a good feeling to pick so much mushrooms you do know what to do with them, anyway believe me, i know that feeling

I don't know, man! It might be a hassle drying them all but I'd love to have a stockpile! If I were to get too much I could definitely sell some... though I wouldn't normally. I hope I can do this right.. I have a good idea.. and I have the time to make it right. I've written down definitions of substrate, mycelium, cultures, etc.. I understand for the most part, but the more I read the more I'll understand what everything is and for certain what I'm doing.

If you want to understand what it is that you're doing, buy a copy of Growing Gourmet and Medical Mushrooms (Stamets) and a copy of The Mushroom Cultivator (also, Stamets). Read them BOTH cover-to-cover. Then, come back and look up "easier" or DIY methods here. Much of what is in those books can look complicated, but it really isn't. The two books used should only cost about $10-20 each. Small investment for the hobby- especially considering that information will aid you every single time you decide to grow mushrooms, of any kind.

If we are talking about psilocybes then i believe that this would be illegal in western pa.

Or you could visit your local library and get a copy of "Let's Grow Mushrooms" DVD for 5 bucks (cost of library card). Or have them order it.

You really should do some reading, starting by the rules!

You should know, that spreading illegal substances within the society is indeed "more" illegal, than just taking them.
But that's not really what it's about. It's just about the rules, which were made for a reason...
