If you carry a bunch of death caps against your skin long enough, the toxins may be carried into the blood stream. You certainly won't die from just touching them, but continuous contact will do it. The absolute worst part of all about afflatoxin is that you get a bit sick, then you seem to get better. Then, two days later, (when you think you're in the clear) the real fun starts. By then, your liver (and often your kidneys) are lost. So I am saying touching when I should have said this long ass statement, I didn't mean walk up and lightly touch, and your dead. I am saying be careful at all costs. If I had not loaned my damn mushroom guide out I could have written it better. So you can get off the touching thing now. It's dangerous period

How long do these take from start to finish before you can eat some?
are the kits expensive & is it easy?

Just a warning from a once avid hunter and home cultivator of party varieties. After years of foraging and reading volumes of books and manuals I still will not forage without a trusted old timer by my side.

Just buy a spore syringe (~$50), 12 x 250mL wide-mouth Mason jars ($10), a small bag of vermiculite ($7), a small bag of brown rice flour ($1), and a bag of Perlite ($10). The jars can be reused, the vermiculite, Perlite and brown rice flour will last for several grows. After the first grow is done, you can even re-fill the spore syringe yourself.

You'll also need rubbing alcohol, a mask (I have N95 masks) and latex gloves. You'll need an environment that you can keep at 24-27F.

It's very easy, but the first time can be time consuming as you've got to get used to being meticulously sterile with everything.

Same with me. I know for fact a good few mushrooms, but I never pick any that I haven't been advised by someone with more knowledge at least a few times to be safe.
