B+ with birdseed

**heywhatsthatsmell** · 01-02-2008, 08:01 PM

Ok guys been waiting all but 2 weeks because of the holidays and I finally received my B+ spores today from Sporestore.com. I got 2 10cc syringes for 15 dollars. I bought a bag of rainbow valley wild bird feed from walmart for 8 dollars. Also i bought 16 canning jars for 7 dollars.

I just rinsed off a bunch of seed and removed all the floaters. Now i have them soaking in a pot in my fridge. Will keep updating and hopefully get some pictures down the road

do you have a pressure cooker?

can you really produce enough shrooms to make a large amount of dough?? if so any ideas? i always wanted to grow shrooms but i need like a pound. at least dry and that sounds near impossible.

i dont have a pressure cooker yet im gonna get one in a few days. Im going to try and inoculate 4 jars and steam the jars in a pot for an hour

Ok so I got my jars ready by using a screw driver and putting a whole in the top of the lids. I stuck a cotten ball through each one of the wholes. I wiped the jars out with a disinfectant and put the lids back on. I took my soaking birdseed and simmered it on the stove for 40 minutes the seeds puffed up nice. Then one at a time i filled the jars up with now fully hydrated seeds. I used a large postal package bag thing that i had cut into smaller squares earlier. i put those over the jars and put the lids on over them. Then i put aluminum foil over each jar and ive been steaming them in a pot on high for the last hour im gonna leave it on for 30 more minutes to be safe.

let me know if you have any questions or comments

why not use vermiculite and brown rice flour? works for me.
