good luck man. Growing shrooms is hard. Takes a lot of practice cuz so much goes wrong. Your gonna need a pressure cooker too. If you lucky you can mabey expact some shrooms in about a month. But its probably gonna take longer. Good luck.

Yo bro growing shrooms is a project not much harder than growin ganja as long as you do your research and know what you are doing... And just like growing weed there are plenty of resources available, the only limitation is yourself bro.
Check out the shroomery it will contain everything you need and MORE, lol.

not an impossible task bud!
id suggest start out with the PF tek (whats described in the above videos)
you will spend about $2-3 per jar (jar, brown rice flour, vermiculite, water, spores) and pressure cooker is about $35 at wallyworld
or you can buy them premixed and sterilized for about $3 a jar
a very fun hobby, can be frustrating but stick with it and tis very rewarding.
suggest a few strains, cambodian, alacabenzi, south american

good luck!

once you get the system down you can mix like 120 jars an hour... :-)
its STERILIZING them thats a pain.. thats why you end up with 3 pressure cookers..

you can expect 3.5g-7g dried a per jar/cake once you get the hang of it
heres my fav suppliers
http://www.mushbox.com/ sterilized substrate jars, bags, kits, substrate, glove box
http://www.spores101.com/ spores
www.shroomtalk.com forum and magazine
http://www.mycosupply.com/ tons of stuff, i buy their BRF by the kilo.. good stuff

any questions ask!

yea dried mushrooms will lose all potentcy fast once they start getting over 90.. dry them out very very well before storing. i usually add some silica packets from beef jerky to the bag. and store in a cool place.

stored like this iv had mushrooms be good for 3 months or more.. they always get eaten haha
you want them cracker dry

oh .. man.. seriously. fresh shrooms are a treat few people get to try. and once you share em your friends will go crazy and want them all the time. "lab grown" mushrooms are just special. and its neat once you realize youv grown enough shrooms to trip a few 100 people out ;)

Dude I came across a Q/P of shrooms as of late that all i had to do is eat 2 grams to get fawked man..Close the blinds lock the doors and get the lights out haha.. I wanna grow shit like this... Fresh haha u mean chewy? Yea im going to grow shrooms. For free.

well fresh as in.. wet yea they are good too (as a little like bitter, white button mushrooms) but fresh as in.. havent been sitting around forever. as stated before.. people dont tend to know how to keep them, so when you get them are about 1/2 as potent as they were.
but yea "wet" mushrooms i read get you a little more fucked up because during drying you lose most of the psylocin(sp) and are left with mostly psilocybin , but wet you get all of both.

I did my first batch of 4 jars on monday...
1 has some green shit like bread mold in, so I will chuck that one.
Two are going white fast :)
1 is starting to make a few white things... (had a very faint spore print to start off.... so it probably just got a low dose)

Bought 4 extra jars yesterday... so I will spread the joy from some of the pots that are doing well into some fresh medium to get more jars filled.

Its so easy so far, can't believe I haven't tried it before...

I used two diffrent kinds of media... some pots with popcorn, some with rye... the popcorn seems to be the winner...and will be what I use in future..

nice to know man! i did some rye-to-straw and really didnt like the rye, i think ill try it again with popcorn
the BRF method is the old standby but its a pain in the ass and the lowest yeilding.
