I used the MYG grow kit which came with: a fruiting chamber, a jar of rye grain, a bag of shredded straw, a bag of casing soil, and some casing starter. www.mushbox.com/myg.html
First, inoculate the rye grain jar and waited for that to colonize.

Once that was fully colonized, I pastuerized the straw and transplanted the mycellium to the straw and once again waited for colonization. (sorry no pic of colonizing straw
)
After the straw was colonized, I put the sterile casing soil on top (I used the microwave to sterilize). And yet again we played the waiting game.

After a few days of misting (possibly a little too much), fanning (although not enough), and anxiously waiting I finally saw a little pin poking through.

Once I saw the pins I was excited, but just kept on misting and fanning occasionally. Nothing else that I did was very important, so I'll get to the fun part...PICTURES!
