Everything one needs to grow mushrooms should be available for purchase at your local hardware store and nursery, except, of course, the spores.

As for what supplies one would need, it depends. There are many methods out there and the supplies needed may vary. Read all the teks that you can find, starting with the PF tek until you are familiar with some of the basic procedures.

Good Luck.

Basidia is right, everything you need for a growing medium you can get at just about any good retailer. also, make a terrarium out of a rubbermaid tub (i personally prefer using an aquarium) The spores are the only problem, or obstacle, if you will. The only way to get spores are to order them (I don't reccomend that) or get a spore print yourself from a trusted friend or from the wild. DO NOT GO OUT INTO THE WILD AND TAKE SPORE PRINTS TO GROW AND CONSUME, EVEN IF YOU THINK IT IS A PSILOCYBIN STRAIN IT IS A BAD IDEA UNLESS YOU ARE A CARD-CARRYING MYCOLOGIST! The way a spore print is taken is simple: just take a LIVE psilocybin mushroom, wait until the "veil" underneath the cap has broken away from the stem but BEFORE it has dropped its spores. This is a time window in a shrooms life cycle of about one to two days, maybe. Cut off the cap. put this cap in the bottom of a clean, disinfected mason jar with the gills facing down and cover. wait 24 hours, and it will have dropped its spores onto the glass bottom, making what else? a spore print. fill the jar about 3/4ths of the way with DISTILLED water, cover with an airtight top, and put in the fridge for later use. There are a few other ways to do this, like taking spore prints on paper and mailing them or using the mycellium culture method, but I find this way to be the best, by far. When growing mushrooms, you simply cannot cut corners, and that is the bottom line. Using tap water, failing to properly disinfect of scimping on anything is simply not acceptable. It DOES affect the outcome of your crop, trust me I've already tried a lot of stuff, and the PF TEK method dis just about as basic as you can get. If you need to know anything or if my logic has some holes, PM me and I can walk you through the whole thing, from start to finish, as I am a brother of the Mycellium.

In england they sell shrooms in shops and in markets they are legal to be sold as long as they are not dried.

I tried them once ate loads I was rushing like a mother fucker but never hallucinated though. I was real high and was smoking some Rhino with it mmmmmmmmm tasty.

Aeroguy: why wouldn't you recommend buying spores? I've been thinking about ordering some online. They're, technically, not illegal in the U.S. We do this strictly for mycology research.

I ordered spores without any trouble at all. I got them at sporebank.com they shipped really quickly got my package in about 8 days. Anyways spores ARE legal in the US...just not in Cali I believe. So dont worry about ordering them you wont be tracked hahaha.
