dude...

the cakes are easy but the bulk trays are a lot better they get bigger and a lot bluer when bruised and make sure to take spore prints the best strain I've had was brazilian it had the best yield I ever had you want to dry them to the taste mellows down in the dry ones I can't stand fresh ones there slimey and nasty and the penis envy looks like a penis

Are you going to grind the rice or leave it whole?

do you suggest one over the other?

grinding it sounds promising

you use brown rice flour for pf tek you can buy it at health food stores and you need vermiculite some nurserys have this

lmao, alright, thanks for the tips man

i have ready access to fresh horse manure

i have read that donkey dung is usually used. i bet horse shit is almost as good

what does that method use as food?

their are tons of videos on growing shrooms on youtube.com step by step pf tek and other shit

horse manure works you need to mix with straw you need to make the spawn I used wild bird seed but its not the best and also popcorn,rye,millet and a few others you sterilize in a pressure cooker with some water let it cool put some spores in shake and leave in a warm place the mycelium grows shake a few more times to speed colonization takes 3-4 weeks
I used coco coir with some nutes for the substrate I copied somebody from shroomatopia.net I think its a forum but I used a aluminum oven sheet layed a thin layer of substrate then spawn like 2 quarts and some substate on top let it incubate 1-2 weeks put in fruit chamber like 1 week latter boom tray full of shrooms big shrooms I got over two zips off each tray and they whern't that big of trays you get a few flushes
You should go to one of the shroom forums they got every thing you need I liked shroomatopia.net best I may have spelt it wrong but they got recipes for every way to grow shrooms

Straw is a big contam vector and some prefer coco coir over straw.

I just mix what ever I have laying around, the most recent monotub I made consists of 8 cups coir, 4 cups verm, 4 cups straw, 4 cups store bought manure.

You could use that ratio and replace the straw and the store bought manure for horse shit and it would work out well.
But you would need a lot of PF cakes to spawn a monotub, like 12 1/2 pints or so.

Grain is used for bulk, if you have a PC you could start off with grain/bulk, if not you don't need a PC to grow from BRF cakes.
I've heard of people leaving the brown rice whole in the PF cakes, but I've only ground them.

It is better to grind your own brown rice the to buy pre ground BRF from the store.

Just grow them all. Pussy.

Jury is still out on the nutriative value of coir, but I don't find sraw to be much of a contam vector if the straw is pasteurized.

Shrooms have been very hard to find around my area lately and I've been wanting to find them very badly. They're VERY easy to sell in charleston. I wish I could find a steady source for around here. I need to make money for during school.

It's all speculation of opinion at this point.
I haven't had any problems with straw either but many have, even with good pasteurizing.

Shrooms are easier to obtain and are always legit. I've never been able to find a hook up for acid.

lol pure acid is so hard to get, you gotta know the chemist that made it pretty much or a close source. Shrooms are easier to get like trolling said. And if you can't get em, grow em. Try making acid without extreme knowledge of chemistry and a whole lot of expensive equipment.....
