He's the owner and theyre all pretty much the same. Penis Envy is suppose to be the strongest though...

I personally went with the classic PF strain, Ecuador, and the Wolly's

Of course not! If youre looking for a good tek, check out the PF Tek. Its suppose to be very easy ;)

hmmm.. I looked over that page, and saw that he individually packed all of that vermiculite and whatnot, and only got a few caps each. is this supposed to be a more effective method than just a plastic tub filled with the stuff and sprouting hundreds in one tub? :peace:

If you have never grown mushrooms before I would suggest you master this tek first and then move up. When you start to grow in the tub, its going to be nearly the same principle (mycelium jars of grain constanly shaked to keep apart and then layered in substrate) If youre a little shaky with the PF tek then youre going to have a higher chance of failure. Just do a few PF Tek's and get some spore prints so you can ensure you have a steady supply of spores for yourself and maybe start a little collection. Its all up to you, just my opinion

yeah, im not versed in growing mushrooms at all, but had a friend that did it successfully in some small tubs. I dont understand the prints or the spores or the necessities of growing and everything, im a little filled up with info about growing weed, im just going to wait until i can take in more information haha..:blsmoke:

Yah well he only got a few caps each, because of a few things -

His cakes where very dehydrated and the picture shows clearnyl how he missed out an important step - the fungifun thing is a very very simple simple method.


But you have to " birth " your cakes,

which is soaking them in water for 12-20 hours or so

Then roll them in vermicullite,

he onyl got a few caps because his substrate wasnt so hydrated and was just showing a very very simple method, if you add a few more simple methods ( dunk and roll ) you can achieve alot more

thats pic of growing cakes

Mycotopia Web Archive: Mazies double stacked

thats pics of harvest and you can see the cakes just begging to fruit all rolled in Vermicullite


I suggest you surf the forum shroomery for a while and i garuntee you will be succesful.

Mushroom cultivation DVD - Let's Grow Mushrooms

watch that and follow the PF tek or BRF tek to a T and you will be a happy man :)

Peace

Dunk and Roll! Yeah that works great too. You can always do the PF Tek then crumble your cakes and case em after you get a harvest out of em

Start with the PFTek method, (rice cakes & small jars). You'll get shrooms, if youre clean enough with everything, then you can make your own spre prints. Sterility is the key. Use spore syringes instead of prints the first time out - less chance of contamination. Only move up to grain jars after you've had success with the rice cake method - (just google rice cake pf tek & you'll find a good guide)... As for a reputable place to buy spores from, I always use earthstongue.com - (follow the link for "spores for microscopy study). Best prices and top quality strains. I have seen personal results. The guy is fast, reliable and honest about his product. (I've been ripped off by several other mycological suppliers before). Good luck and happy shrooming!
