Ok guys been waiting all but 2 weeks because of the holidays and I finally received my B+ spores today from Sporestore.com. I got 2 10cc syringes for 15 dollars. I bought a bag of rainbow valley wild bird feed from walmart for 8 dollars. Also i bought 16 canning jars for 7 dollars.

I just rinsed off a bunch of seed and removed all the floaters. Now i have them soaking in a pot in my fridge. Will keep updating and hopefully get some pictures down the road

can you really produce enough shrooms to make a large amount of dough?? if so any ideas? i always wanted to grow shrooms but i need like a pound. at least dry and that sounds near impossible.

Ok so I got my jars ready by using a screw driver and putting a whole in the top of the lids. I stuck a cotten ball through each one of the wholes. I wiped the jars out with a disinfectant and put the lids back on. I took my soaking birdseed and simmered it on the stove for 40 minutes the seeds puffed up nice. Then one at a time i filled the jars up with now fully hydrated seeds. I used a large postal package bag thing that i had cut into smaller squares earlier. i put those over the jars and put the lids on over them. Then i put aluminum foil over each jar and ive been steaming them in a pot on high for the last hour im gonna leave it on for 30 more minutes to be safe.

let me know if you have any questions or comments
