First, I'd bank like 1300$ of that, get a few big rubbermaid containers, a large bag of perlite, 50 lbs of hpoo, and an equally large amount of either wbs or popcorn.  Maybe some petri dishes, sterility equipment like those rubber gloves, some aluminum trays, and desiccant.

Thats all I can think of.

Spend about half of it on an AA pressure cooker and a good flow hood, then save the rest for future needs such as tubs, grains, substrate bags, jars, lights, hygrometers, perlite, spores and/or cultures, blah, blah.

Second the PC and Flowhood.. 

Then buy your grains and tubs and various things needed to grow.. Which should come to around 100-150 bucks depending on what kind of setup you are going with..

INteresting i was just pondering on my way home in a taxi from work on my ideal grow room, it would cost much more than that though.

Filing cabinet for pints, fridge for LC petri dish and master cult slants. Cupboards for substrate casing and spawn, cupboards for tools jars petri dish storage etc. Medium sized flowhood for inoculation procedures and transfers, fridge forincubation, large flowhood for spawning. 2 large closets for fruitng :-)

damn that was a good wee daydream (after some nice weed)

This mourning faced with boredom and new ideas. I decided to pimp my closet out for fruiting. Pretty excited about it. When Im older, Ill build a house in the middle of the woods with a separate room maybe even a pole barn type structure for my hobby. You cant beat owning property where you can hunt mushrooms and grow them. Paul stamets has it made, he has several buildings devoted to his hobby. I wonder if RR has something like it.

$400 aa 1941
$200 Industrial Electric Burner
$600 Homemade 48x30 hood
$300 Bags, verm, rice, Jars for LCs, Agar, Plates, Vacutainers, Syringes, Gloves, Tyvek sleeves, Alcohol and other etc


Then you need to buy your tubs for doing up monotubs stacked high. That would run you a few more hondo. You will also need a pasteurizer this will run you a few more hondo if you want to get elaborate. Burlap bags for pasteurizing, about $50 for a bundle.

Spend the necessary 500 of it to get starting materials. Then I'd blow the other 1000 on something else. Then if you wanted to you could use your initial investment for further ones:mushroom2:

I actually spend a startling amount of my free (and not so free) time pondering stuff like this. A couple of shiny new All American pressure cookers and a flow hood would be awesome.

But one could probably build a flowhood for cheaper than that

Getting there.  Mrs rabbit and I bought a cabin in the Pacific Northwest mountains this year at the edge of a 1.5 million acre national forest.  Our property line on two sides is that national forest. It's also open rangeland, so we have cows, llamas, and horses everywhere for free manure, not to mention deer, elk, bear and mountain lions to complete the experience.

I'll be cutting a couple of mushroom caves into the side of our mountain over the winter.  A neighbor has a huge mining backhoe on tracks like a tank, but he can't operate in the area(septic drain field) until this winter when the ground freezes.

Gonna cost a bit more than $1500 though. :wink:

I buy two mini greehouses (see the double plastic closets) for about $100 (including the shelving).  I'd spend $130 on a  couple coolmist humidifiers and a foggers with required tubing and fittings.  ...maybe $20 on perlite and bins to catch drip-age.  I'd then spend maybe $50-100 on sets of shoebox sized plastic bins to use as substrate trays.

Honestly though, I don't even want that much.  I really just want a simple two tiered wide martha that I can use to maintain a few projects that don't have the same time-tables.  If I was going to build my ultimate setup, it would fit in the corner of my bedroom.
