Really, I was going to give Alacabenzi a try, just because I thought the name was different. I didn't like B+ either. I seemed almost like a tease. I would see alot of pins starting and think, wow this is going to be a good batch, and then most would end with an Abort. The one that grew, didn't amount to much either. I got some Whole rye, and i'm going to do like a bulk substate thing. I have a large glass container (holds about 8 gallons) Im going to pressure cook the rye inside it till its halfway cooked or so. Then once it starts getting all coated by the mycelium i'm going to shake it and break it up. Then continue the proccess for like a 2 months or so. Then dump it out into a big plastic tupperware with a CFL and humidifier and watch them grow. I havent decided on what strain I'm going to do yet, Maybe Gulf Coast or A strain.

Bins, Totes & Containers > Bin - GlobalIndustrial.com

i want to get that and the optional waterproof cover (use it as a humidity tent)
6 bins... you could use a bulk substrate or just cakes.
put it in a litter box to catch the condensation run off.

tubs are 25.5"x16"x8.5" and can hold 100lbs
the whole thing is less than 6' tall and about 2' wide
use rope lighting and an ultrasonic fogger for humidity

BE CAREFULL AMANITA MUSCARIA ARE VERY POISONOUS IF NOT USED PROPERLY...
with amanita muscaria, I would Imagion they would be havested and then treated just like the Other magic mushrooms. Take one and twist off the cap, put it on a sheet of aluminum foil, place it in a closet with the lights out for 5 days. When you check on it, if it has left an imprint on the foil that looks like a mushroom cap. Just follow direction on shroomery.org on making a spore syringe or you can just chop up the entire cap of the amanita muscaria and add it to a mixure of wet Vermiculite And Rye flour in a canning jar. Look at the PF-tek method on Shroomery.com for the proper mixtures.

A fatal dose has been calculated at approximately 15 fly agaric cap of amanita muscaria. Don't ever over due it. If you have them growing around there, why bother growing them?

also potentcy of amanita varies greatly from mushroom to mushroom as well as more violent side effects (nausia)

never heard of anyone growing them? they are not even illegal... you can buy them by the pound off of ebay and other sites

I got the rye from the super market. I will thy the whole grain rye method soon. It hear you get better yeild with whole grains, is that true?
yes it supports bigger growth. the brown rice or pftek method always seemed to grow smaller mushrooms but the grain is good because you can spread it out in larger compost piles easier because it stays seperated.

watch out when using whole grain i had to sterilize twice as long to get the grain clean. its not as fluffy as a "flour" mix also try experimenting put a piece of your rye"flour" cake inthe whole grain jar and watch it take off

i havent grown shroms in about 6 years what are safe places to buy spores in the US id love to grow out a few this summer.

ive grown b + , z strain, john allens, and alkabenzis all with great results. I used brown rice flour for all of mine and usually got 2 ounces from 5 jars with 3 flushes. Dunking in a mix of milk and water always seemed to help with small pins getting started

Those are increadible results, Congrads.That milk must be a wonderful secret ingredient. Personaly I have have yet to see a single jar produce more then 7 grams, certainly not 11, even after 3 flushes. It's common to get only 3-5 grams per jar. With both Brown rice and Rye, The yeild is very close. But In almost every case The mushrooms start growing twice as fast with the Rye flour though. Are you using 1/2 pint jars?
Which strain is your favorite?

Ya, I think with B+ or any strain for that matter, You can have different results. Who really knows what we are getting anyway. They all look the same in the syringe. I have some B+ right now, I might give em a try. Funny thing is, I haven't tripped in years.. Maybe next weekend..

ya for sure. well good luck and happy tripping
Thanks man...

To the person who asked how many shrooms to eat.
Everyone will tell you something different but, If I were you I wouldn't eat more then 1/8th your first time. Infact, The last few times I tripped, that was all I took. They are all different sizes so wiegh em out before you take em. If you have tripped on acid before, you could eat a little more.
From what I have read, it's nearly impossible to OD on them. You would have to eat like 5 pounds or somthing like that. But, you could have a terrible trip if you take to much your first time. Just think happy thoughts and know that no matter what, everything is going to fine and your not going to die or anything like that. It's common for people to throw up an hour of so after eating them, so don't be worried if you do. Either way, an 1/8th is a good amound for a first timer.
Good luck, happy trips
