how to grow mushrooms the easy way

Sorry I hate to be the newbie here but I wanna start growing my own shrooms. So @canndo after placing the baggie on top of the jar it says to put it in a box do you just mean any box? Or like a sealed plastic tub?And it says to spray them(the jars) with water after this step do you mean the medium or the shrooms themselves?

Put them in the box they came in.


Spray the casing. You must keep it moist qt all times.


The point is no chambers or birthing.

I wondered how long it would be before I ventured into this thread for some info, and here we are haha. Nice to see you still posting on it canndo. I'm inoculating some Uncle Bens bags right now they seem to be colonizing nicely.
 
You put too much casing in there. But look at that mycelium branching up toward the top. Patience. A couple sprays a day is fine.
The branching took place in the first two days and has not continued. That is why I was thinking not moist enough. Should I remove some of the casing?

Canndo...I’m too new to ‘like’ anything yet, but I love your thread - and I admire your patience!

My only shroom-growing so far has been with a Matias Romero kit I bought from Steven Pollack back in the 70s. Since then, I’ve memorized large chunks of the Shroomery...and I love your tek: then again, I love to cook, so a decent pressure-cooker is an easy sell for me. As soon as I can find a way to acquire spores (yes, I’m in one of those three states), I will jump in using this thread, and branch out from there. Theory being that shrooms will get me through learning to grow shrooms quicker than learning to grow shrooms will get me shrooms....

that would be it - notice the profusion of fruit all coming from the same direcction - a PF cake will not do that, and note also that you don't need any sort of fruiting chamber at all. Of course harvesting (picking is more accurate) is a chore. do the best you can to keep the substrate undisturbed and try to patch holes you made with new casing. If you do that, and you continualy increase your spraying (from once a day to three times a day) you will get at the very least 3 flushes. I have experienced as many as 6 flushes and some times the final flush is a HUGE mushroom.
Should I use coco coir? And specific tyoe of vermiculite?

Idlewilder is right. In fact you could use a fraction of a drop and it would likely work so long as there are two compatible spores in it.

I appreciate the response and recommendation...I have family in safer places: I would trust them to repackage and send safely. Plus, PS doesn’t have what I most want, whereas SporeWorks does indeed. I’ll keep them on the list, though, and thanks again!
