First Mushroom Grow!

Trip report:
Me and a bunch of friend tried these out last week. Each ate half an eighth.
Took them at 10pm and tripped till like 4 am!
They were pretty damn good and they impressed me :)

Bag grows are nice. You can buy the empty bags, mix up equal parts compost cow manure ($4 for 20 lbs), Vermiculite and coir, pc the bags and innoculate with a grain jar at about 1 part spawn to 1 part substrate. Never had a single problem with contamination doing open air transfer of a colonized grain jar to a bag. Only other thing you need to buy is an impulse sealer ;)

How do you pasturize your straw?

How do you pasturize your straw?
I put the straw in a pillow case and soak the straw in cool water and a few drops of dishsoap...this breaks up the patina on the straw and allows it to absorb moisture...after a 60-90 min bath the straw gets placed in a pot on a burner and a cup of lime is added...get internal temp to 160-180 and maintain temp for another 60-90 mins...drain and cool straw( I hang the pillow case on a hook out back...when cool hit it with spawn...hth
