how to grow mushrooms the easy way

[Lordhooha]

100 percdnt gunna do this metod for ages I thouthg of this as hard after reading this I think people are lazy 2 do all tje steps I have a few questions tho can I use one of those digitall pressure cookers and there was a few things I dont think im fully understanding is casing just topping up the jar and also im curios could one use a hemp or seaweed meal and also i all I can get is spore prints and I dont know how 2 do this from frpore prints im going to be doing magic ones but wouldent mind trying some edibles ones cheers

If your in the US you can order from several places. None of it’s hard. Most digital PC’s you can’t use for jars but I steam mine rather than use a PC for 90 mins or so. Plus if not doing bulk stick with the the brf recipe for now it’s cheap and easy.

I have a digital farberware pressure cooker and I works perfectly.. doesn't crack or bake any jars that I've put in it.. the only problem is the size.. I can only do four quart jars at a time.. four pint jars in pic

Interesting most say not to use them but it says for canning. Hell steaming works perfect for me and my big gumbo pot let’s me steam a bunch

For reference I can do 24 or so at a time

So, I'm giving this a whirl. I used a SAB, and shook the jars after innoculation, as one poster said he got excellent results this way. I'm on day 8 and no sign of anything. No growth, no contam., nothing. My room is fairly cool(mid 60's), so I'm wondering if that might slow things down, along with the shaking might make things a bit more difficult to see at first. Or my syringes were bunk. Opinions?

Yes,, 60°f 's isn't warm enough.. mine colonize fairly quick in a incubator and and ok at room temperature(70's) but lately I've seen slower colonizing at 69°f .took two weeks for them to start at that temp.. normally when I use 80 in the incubator, the start to finish time is two weeks..

Yeah the drawback to the digital is I can't stack .. I used to Steam too.. with pretty good results.. I bought this for cooking food but here and there I'll throw a couple jars in there for 30 minutes.. much quicker then steaming.. I wasn't knocking you by any means.. I was just stating that I use a digital with no problems..100% success rates, no contaminations and no brakes..

cool cheers for all the info every one whats brf I only no of thos method and iv kinda heard the na, e pf tek never done shrooms b4 its medical for me I wanna see of it can help me im in australia im only looking 2 tey once at rhis point n see if it helps so I dont need a bulk grow im assuming thia steaming its tje same idia as in the pc but a big pot how do I know how long to steam is tjere a rule of thumb I think tjeres a few things I still am not getting do I nwed 2 get one of rhose totes and make put gloves in it im hoping 2 srick as xlose as o I can 2 this method in a bit im going 2 look up all tjw stuff n where to get it im going 2 take my time getting everything together so I still have enough time 2 learn more And give my self the best chance I dont think we have lysol but shit this is growing weed allover again lol so fascinating just watched a peul stamets talk im sold

In a pot with a tight fitting lid you need to Steam for 1 hour and 20 minutes at least .. this is to insure that they are sterile. . May have to add a bit of hot water around the half way mark if the lid isn't real tight.. pf- bfr Tek.. was made by professor fantasticous , hints the PF .. brf is brown rice flour and vermiculite..

 

[giglewigle]

cool cheers our pots dont have anny lids tjat like attach u just put them on if that makes sense im really keen on rhos method is there like a name for it iv kinda got 2 be staelth lol but it seems simple and effective I dont know if popcorn corn comes in 25 pound bags at this point I only wanna try onnce but im guessing its better 2 do more so u have room for failyer but I plan on keeping the room as clean ass possable cant wait

The lid doesn't have to latch on the pot or anything.. just fit snuggly so not must steam gets out and to build a bit of pressure.. if the lid doesn't seal tightly you can use tin foil to make a gasket to prevent steam loss and help build pressure in the pot..

I just chekked out that link I think im def doing this way instead of pf tek now all I need is 2 learn how 2 start from spores n make agar n shit

Hey I have a instapot and I pressure cooked 7 jars, however moisture got underneath the foil and the holes on the lid started rusting. What am I doing wrong? Too much water? Went on for too long?

Did you wash the lids in bleach at any time prior? Bleach etches off the coating on some lids or rust will form around the punched holes . Mine rust if I leave them in the cooker over night to cool.. so I now remove then once the pressure drops and dry and cover them with a towel to cool the rest of the way.. if you can't clean the rust off, you'll may have to get new ones

I vacuum sealed several large bags of my composted stuff and steamed them I’ll be injected them tomorrow. Also have some morels I’m about to start.

Yeah I left them in over night. How long do you leave them in the PC after pc’ing? And you do 90 mins? Also there was moisture underneath the foil, is that normal? Was there too much water?

I only PC mine for 30 to 45 minutes but 90 is fine if you're to familiar on how good it works.. I remove the jars shortly after the pressure valve is down (about an hour)
Far as getting moist under the foil I would guess your water level in the pot is to high. I only put about an inch and a half to two inches in my p.c. with the jars in..

Thank you. I got them on a heat mat just now, so we'll see if that will jump start them.

Be careful heat mats can make the temps inside the jar to become too high. Watch for contamination.
