you should all be familiar with searching and using keywords.
shroomery.org is the place to learn. look under cultivation and grow teks.
heres the quick run down
1. spores are legal in all BUT 3 states. mushrooms arent.
2.order from recommended sites (pls search)
3. depending on temps and substrate content, shroom growth will vary. anywhere from 2 weeks of JAR GROWTH and 2 for fruiting UNDER BEST CONDITIONS. expect more like 4-8 weeks.
4. CONTAMINATION WILL HAPPEN FAST. i have experimented with some things and most of it got contam. a couple different varieties, cobweb, lipstick, green mold.... IT ALL HAPPENS FAST. if you get contam, and keep warm moist conditions, there is no way the mycelium can fight it off. only when the cakes are full do they have the resilince to contams.
5. fruiting, growing mushrooms on cakes, will happen when temps are decreased and humidity is increased along with a fresh supply of air and 4-8 hours of limited light. most people use plastic storage tubs or you can use foam beer coolers you get at the package store. i use old fish tanks. again please search for designs, they are out there.
6. young ones are more potent, and you eat less dry ones as opposed to wet ones to get off and trip. 3 dry mushrooms could make you trip where you might need to eat 2 or 3 times that if they are wet.
I AM NO GURU!!!!!!!! just a stupid stoner with nothin to do. i learned this for the last 3-5 months. i am on my second grow and there are better and other ways out there. this cake method is simple to learn and get to know how to do it.
i will post an update soon.
again, if you are serious about it, bookmark shroomery.org and read for one week. then give it a shot.
