Hi

So, i got interested in cultivating some Mushrooms for personnel use, so i decided to grow them. I bough a kit for around £12 which had all the necessary equipment bar the spores. I bough the spores (10ml i think), advertised as P.C. Amazon for £14.99, when they came they were labeled as P.C. Golden Teacher. I have no idea on the different strains so it doesn't really concern me. I inoculated the small pot as per the instructions, an also inoculated a small jar, using brown rice flour. I didn't use a glove-box, i kept it as sterile as i could, disinfecting everything with vodka and flame! So, i guess i will see how successful i was in a few days. I have included pics of the kit, the spores, the small tub that i inoculated and the separate jar. Feel free to ask any questions.

Peace out x

nice. keep me updated on your progress. have you incubated the jars yet? have u even prepared the jars?

Yeah, i have injected the spores in if that what you mean. Im just leaving them in my cubord for now to colonize. Should start to see it in a few days with any luck.

cool man, where did u get the kit from ,i would like to try growin shrooms,
whats going on with the skunkhaze, and did u get ur 5 free seeds from 'edit' that the owed u.

Hey man. I got the kit from an online head-shop. The kit is so easy to use. I looked at it this morning and the first sign of mycelium has appeared, will get a pic when its grown some more. The skunkhaze, the 13 plants i left outdoors, i haven't checked them since, its been about 55 days. I should be going back around 4th of June, so i can update then if they are still alive. And yes, i contacted them and they sent me 10 Nirvana AK48, so i will probably be growing that this summer.

Peace out x

Put love in your grow and they shall reward you a kick ass journey .

Just over a week after i injected them and this is the growth so far, it is the same on the other side of the container.

Peace out x

I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know... If you made the jar of BRF yourself, without pressure cooking it first or at least committing to pasteurizing it, it will not grow. Some mycelium might appear, but it almost certainly will also have some aspergilis or something of the sort in it.

Also, if you didn't combine it with vermiculite or some other course non-nutritious material, even if it does fully colonize... The mushrooms will not grow properly upon fruiting and will likely end up in a mess of aborts.

But kudos on the other one! That should provide you with a good amount for yourself, but I'd recommend you look into casing it if you want to get more bang for your buck (or pound, rather).

Good luck!

I did pasteurize it, only for about 30-40 mins. However, i didn't use correct substrate as you said, so yeah, i doubt if it will take off. Well, at least iv got the other one, and i have learned from my mistakes.

Well, I'd still keep it around. I'd be interested personally to see how it does. Just keep it in a warm, dry, dark area and forget about it for a while.

Pasteurizing it is mainly to keep intact beneficial bacteria in substrates such as dung. It can be done with anything in theory, but grains are much more finicky and prone to infection.

Keep us updated!
