| | You might like this....and you might save some money Mushrooms How To Grow Magic Mushrooms
Psilocybe Cubensis Growing Technique (page 2) Equipment ***** Mixing Bowl Fairly large, plastic or metal mixing bowl for mixing up your substrate in. ***** Mixing Spoon A long, sturdy kitchen spoon for mixing up the substrate. A plastic or metal spoon is preferable to a wooden spoon. ***** Measuring Cups 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup sizes, for measuring out substrate ingredients. ***** Brown Rice Flour Brown Rice Powder (available in health food stores). To make your own brown rice powder, place some regular brown rice in a coffee bean grinder and grind it to the same size as you would coffee. Homemade brown rice powder is highly recommended. It will provide the nutrients to feed the mushroom spores. The rice powder must not have preservatives in it, that's why you should get brown rice from a health food store, most supermarket varieties are loaded with preservatives. If you can't find brown rice flour at a store near you, you can get some online. Be sure to get organic brown rice flour. ***** Vermiculite Vermiculite is a soft, spongy volcanic gravel used in potting soil. A good-sized (1-3 cubic feet) bag can be purchased for under $20.00 at most hardware/garden stores. If you can't find vermiculite in any of the well stocked garden centers in your area, order it online. Vermiculite is a alumino-silicate clay mineral that is mined and heated to expand the particles. It’s sterile and soaks up 3-4 times its volume in water, and attracts nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous. Vermiculite itself provides no water or nutrients, but will retain the moisture and nutrients you add to the cakes. ***** Electric Drill or Hammer and Nail For poking holes in the metal jar lids. The drill bit or nail should be about 2 mm (3/32") thick. ***** 1/2 Pint Tapered Wide Mouth Canning Jars They must be 1/2 pint (about 250 ml) size and they must be tapered (sides of the jar slant outward so that the top is widest part of the jar) so that the substrate cakes can easily drop out of the jar. These can be found in grocery stores, hardware stores, and drug stores. They cost under $20.00 for a box of 12 jars. ***** Aluminum Foil Enough to make a 6" by 6" (15cm by 15cm) square for each jar. ***** Rubbing Alcohol Have some rubbing alcohol or something similar for sterilization purposes. ***** Pressure Cooker The larger the better. Make absolutely sure that you know how to use it, and that all seals, valves, and safety plugs are in working order. For most people this is the most difficult item to obtain. New pressure cookers start at about $40.00 each, high quality models cost more but will last forever. Look in the housewares section of a department store or online. Pressure canners will work also, but can be difficult to find. If it is too expensive to get a pressure cooker or pressure canner, information is presented in this guide for steam sterilization so you can still get by without a pressure cooker. Equipment For Inoculation ***** Psilocybe Cubensis Spores The first time magic mushroom grower should get a strain of Psilocybe Cubensis that is easy to cultivate. As one gains growing experience, more exotic, harder to grow types can be tried. Psilocybe cubensis spores are legally available from various sources usually for under $25.00 each. ***** Pair Of Dishwashing Gloves Preferably new and unused. Equipment For Fruiting And Harvesting ***** Fruiting Chamber Aquariums, camping coolers, and large plastic (Rubbermaid) storage containers are examples of suitable fruiting chambers. ***** Perlite Perlite is a silicon-rich volcanic rock. It’s mined and heated to expand the particles. It will soak up water. For our purposes, it is soaked with water, drained and placed at the bottom of the growing chamber to keep the humidity inside high. If you only have vermiculate available, you can use it in place of perlite in the growing chamber or you can obtain perlite online. ***** Colander For draining water out of the perlite. Suitable substitutes include a piece of screen or cloth, or anything that will hold perlite but let water drain out. ***** Dust Mask (optional) Perlite is puffed volcanic glass. When you work with perlite, it tends to be dusty, creating a cloud of glass dust that can be harmful to the lungs, especially if you are asthmatic. Disposable dust masks can be found in hardware stores, often in the Paint section. They are very inexpensive. They can also be used to prevent breathing our germ filled air all over our your cakes and terrariums when working with them. Equipment For Preservation ***** Desiccant (optional) Desiccants are chemicals, usually sold in the form of little granular crystals, that absorb water out of the air. Silica gel is one of the more commonly sold desiccants, and can be found online. ***** Food Dehydrator (optional) The perfect tool for drying mushrooms. Make sure it's a model that can be set to run with no heat, or you may have to take it apart and manually disable the heating element. Look in the housewares section of a department store or online. Once you have all the equipment, you will want to get started growing magic mushrooms. How To Grow Magic Mushrooms. A simple Psilocybe Cubensis Growing Technique (page 1)

| | lol.... now you sound like one of my best friends who hates it when I want to build everything, and he just wants to buy it already made with less work to be done......hehe
I just like not having to pay the retard prices some of these companies put on things just because it has to do with marijuana, that can be made for way less.
An example is the retarded price for the Honey Bee Extractor ( Welcome to Buzznn.com, Home of the Honey Bee Extractor ) which is $50. here ,when I made the same thing for less then five dollars Canadian out of medal not PCV which would be cheaper.
Oil made that way sucks anyway.....IMHO
peace

| | well I'm into my second week of colonization/incubation....its not difficult. Spend A LOT of time reading, and then ....read some more...then ask some questions and listen to the answers....then read some more. Anyhow....I agree with silver....its not that difficult if you take the simple approach first and learn a little about what happens and can go wrong, and, the most important part....patience....but then growing weed takes a lot longer shrooms possibly in 30+ days vs weed 55-60 days?)
