if the shroomery stands behind the sponsor you choose, then you shouldn't have a problem...

I wouldn't know,I make every thing easy on myself and just leave it IN the greenhouse as is,I have seen plenty of pictures here of people doing all manner of modifications on them so I'm sure you can find some if you search around,I would have links for you if it was something I ever did but as I said,I just leave it in there,once you get your timer set right you have near perfect humidity at all times

You're going to want at least a 16 quart PC. I think just about everyone buys one too small to start with... don't make that mistake :P

Here ya go. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/BRF-Pf-Tek Watch all four parts. You don't need mechanical humidifiers and all that crap. They don't work nearly as well as the simple method. I'm an electrical engineer by profession, but swore off mechanical/electronic stuff for growing mushrooms years ago. RR

It will smell like fresh mushrooms if done correctly.... other wise, there have been some pretty awful smells ruminating out of some peoples jars! LOL pay attention and do it right.... cleanliness is key.

I've ordered from Ralphsters twice and have not been disappointed. If you don't choose Ralphsters, then choose another vendor from this site. They Shroomery wouldn't recommend them if they weren't dependable.
