Really, I was going to give Alacabenzi a try, just because I thought the name was different. I didn't like B+ either. I seemed almost like a tease. I would see alot of pins starting and think, wow this is going to be a good batch, and then most would end with an Abort. The one that grew, didn't amount to much either. I got some Whole rye, and i'm going to do like a bulk substate thing. I have a large glass container (holds about 8 gallons) Im going to pressure cook the rye inside it till its halfway cooked or so. Then once it starts getting all coated by the mycelium i'm going to shake it and break it up. Then continue the proccess for like a 2 months or so. Then dump it out into a big plastic tupperware with a CFL and humidifier and watch them grow. I havent decided on what strain I'm going to do yet, Maybe Gulf Coast or A strain.

Bins, Totes & Containers > Bin - GlobalIndustrial.com

i want to get that and the optional waterproof cover (use it as a humidity tent)
6 bins... you could use a bulk substrate or just cakes.
put it in a litter box to catch the condensation run off.

tubs are 25.5"x16"x8.5" and can hold 100lbs
the whole thing is less than 6' tall and about 2' wide
use rope lighting and an ultrasonic fogger for humidity

i live on the gulf coast.the only shrooms ive ever done were the ones from cowshit.have alot of amanita muscaria growing around me but ive never been taught the proper way to prepare them if anyone has any advice plz pm me thanx

BE CAREFULL AMANITA MUSCARIA ARE VERY POISONOUS IF NOT USED PROPERLY...
with amanita muscaria, I would Imagion they would be havested and then treated just like the Other magic mushrooms. Take one and twist off the cap, put it on a sheet of aluminum foil, place it in a closet with the lights out for 5 days. When you check on it, if it has left an imprint on the foil that looks like a mushroom cap. Just follow direction on shroomery.org on making a spore syringe or you can just chop up the entire cap of the amanita muscaria and add it to a mixure of wet Vermiculite And Rye flour in a canning jar. Look at the PF-tek method on Shroomery.com for the proper mixtures.

A fatal dose has been calculated at approximately 15 fly agaric cap of amanita muscaria. Don't ever over due it. If you have them growing around there, why bother growing them?

also potentcy of amanita varies greatly from mushroom to mushroom as well as more violent side effects (nausia)

never heard of anyone growing them? they are not even illegal... you can buy them by the pound off of ebay and other sites

yes it supports bigger growth. the brown rice or pftek method always seemed to grow smaller mushrooms but the grain is good because you can spread it out in larger compost piles easier because it stays seperated.

watch out when using whole grain i had to sterilize twice as long to get the grain clean. its not as fluffy as a "flour" mix also try experimenting put a piece of your rye"flour" cake inthe whole grain jar and watch it take off

i havent grown shroms in about 6 years what are safe places to buy spores in the US id love to grow out a few this summer.
