romeo, whats the main difference between truffles and cubes? I would love to see a grow log of it as well.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TEACH ME A-B GROWING SHROOMS.

.......sorry its a bit bold but I love them and have been curious about them for years and im ready to give it a go... just point me in the right direction, sounds lik its not to bad to grow and im more than willing to throw everytning ( including the kitchen sink) at this if I have to

There is tons of information out there: http://www.shroomery.org/11323/Getting-Started There is a steep learning curve, but you just have READ alot of the information before getting into it.

8.6g of very very dry atl#7 truffles.......way to much. Just sayin. Details later.

Shrooms are easier then weed IMO. Was the first thing I ever gave a shot. The cops actually came to my house and I got arrested because they smelled weed outside my residence... Total bs lol. But anyway they searched my studio apt and didn't even notice them. Took me about 4 says to bond out because holiday weekend and when I came home my shrooms were huge. When I was home I was checking them way to often opening the lid and letting key moisture out.

Doing two bulk grows of PESA.
Fruited one today and noticed it has some pins. This tub is 6 quarts and my other one which I will colonize sometime next week will be 8 quarts.

Hey all. . I finally got 7 grams of pins.. They are dried out of course. . Anyway to get a spore print from these. . or are they to dried out for that. . Also any one know an easy way to do it? Thanks again all

Hey mole, check out shroomology or shroomery or mycotopia.
Shroomology has a tek for takin spore prints.

Thanks bro.. will do[emoji6]

I've a friend that just rehydrates the biggest ones and gets some still viable spore prints.
I think the really important thing is how long they've been dried..

That I dont know.. I was reading just to use a white piece of paper for prints. . Is that right? I still have to read up on it. If I get a successful print, I'll need what to do with it after that. . Lol

Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is starting to invert.

Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it. The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to live and drop its spores. One note of caution. Some humidity usually needs to be allowed to escape. You want the environment inside the glass to be slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.

If everything goes well, after a day or two the cap will drop its spores. Adaptation-26 There will be a purple-brown dust underneath the cap. These are the spores.

Eye glass lens paper is good source of sterile tissue paper. A box of waxy tissue paper that deli's use to pick up donuts and rolls is another excellent source of sterile tissue paper. Card stock (such as a recipe card) is a bit easier to use later when you want to prepare a spore syringe, but you have to expend the extra effort up front to sterilize it. To use card stock, place in a 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Let it cool with a glass over it before you place the cap on it.

Once you have a spore print on the paper, remove the glass and cap. Fold the spore print in half and seal the edges so air can not get in. A piece of scotch tape on each side will do nicely. The spores will stay viable for 18 months if they are kept in a cool, dry and dark spot. If you place a small amount of desiccant in the bottom of a film container and place a cotton ball on top of the desiccant, you have an ideal container to keep the spore print. The cotton ball will keep the desiccant from touching the spore print. Seal the spore print in the canister and place the canister in your refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Note that if you want to be self sufficient, it is a good idea to have multiple spore prints and store them separately. You just never know when you are going to be surprised with a massive contamination problem or thermal death. The safest thing to do is have a couple viable spore prints so it is easier to recover from disaster. A spore print is typically viable for about a year if it is stored in a cool, dark location. As a print ages, germination gets slower and this process becomes more prone to contamination. [/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Obtained from Erowid... May be somewhat useful but it mostly just recites minimle knowledge of sterility and shit that anybody even thinking of cultivating M.shrooms has already had beaten into their head. My knowledge of Sterility comes from many failed attempts at just inoculating my jars. So, After like 200+ black or green slimy outcomes I stepped back and remembered that when I was teaching myself to cultivate Marijuana at a somewhat Exp. level I had to really study and read a lot combined with hands on learning. I had grown tired of throwing piles of cash at Seed vendors just to over water or kill them with my love, I'm just jabbering at this point so I'll wrap it up...
