Can I please say that I would really wish that no one would download those videos illegally-my friends RogerRabbit and RoadKill(members of the Shroomery) spent over 100k in supplies & studio time to make those videos and pirating them is wrong. So, please don't steal from them-you can purchase them for $49.95(USD) at
Let's Grow Mushrooms! 2 DVD set and they are worth every penny of it-bought my copy when they first made them public. You can view them on youtube-that's ok, but don't download them illegally please?
Quote from RogerRabbit himself posted on another forum:
"I spent well over $100K in equipment and studio time to produce that video. It's copyrighted as well. It will take the rest of my life to make that money back a $49 per copy for the 4 hour DVD set, so please don't rip off my work. Please don't post links to illegal downloads. The sample clips on youtube are authorized. Sorry I don't have the time to make it over here much anymore. In fact, I hardly ever log into shroomery either. Working full time on a new book on mushroom cultivation that will have an attached DVD. If the mods will please delete the link to the illegal download, I'd appreciate it. You can legally purchase the dvd at Let's Grow Mushrooms! 2 DVD set or check it out of your local library. If they don't have it, simply ask and they'll get it. The DVD will also be available on netflix this summer. RR "
Just so you know-I really don't want anyone to think that I am an ass-but I know how hard they worked to make those videos.
Anyway
Hey Nuggets,try adding a couple of ml's/cc's of honey or "Light" Karo Corn syrup to your BRF mix-don't over do it and make it too wet though, just 1-2 cc's is sufficient.
Gives them a little more food.
You can also use those McDonalds straws and cut them into 2-3 inch pieces and insert one piece of straw directly into the center of each cake about 1/2'' deep-then you can add water to each cake by filling up the straw with distilled water(and maybe some honey-sterilized of course)-over a period of 24-72 hours you should see that the straws are about empty, fill them back up. By doing this you are adding water and not touching the cake(like you would if you dunk them), therfore reducing your chances of introducing contaminates onto your cakes. Your cakes will last longer until they are spent and no longer producing.
Just a little tip, you can use it if you want.
I posted these pics in another thread, so I hope i don't go across the boundries with me posting them here too. But, this is why I don't do cakes anymoreVVVVV
That casing produced 989.52 grams of fresh mushrooms(which weighed 98+grams cracker dry).
One quart of WBS(prepared using my tek"
Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek")spawned to 4 quarts of straw and cased with Coco-Coir(wetted to field capacity).
I hope you like the pics
Hey Miraclesmoke,
Since you have a PC now, click this link for "Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek" ---->
Shroomery - Doc's Wild Bird Seed Tek --->the best WBS grain Tek on the market=if you want fruits like in those pics with the least amount of preparation and work. I have been using my little tek for over 15 years now and I wouldn't change a thing!
Enjoy and have fun doing it!
Doc
Here is another casing that produced over 2 1/2 (cracker dry) ounces of mushrooms on its first flush.
This is how I do casings, which are placed inside of those bins with wet Perlite on the bottom for humidity.
Hope you enjoy the myco-porn!
Doc
