Ok guys so I finally decided that I'm gonna grow mushrooms once I get the money to order it with. I'm looking for growing kits online, any suggestion. I don't know if we can post links here so if not then just pm me a good growing kit. thanks Edit: Also, how the hell do I get spores and syringes if I'm in CA and there illegal? anyone question, whats the easiest type of shroom to grow?
no man i would highly reccomend mixing your own substrate and containers, sterilize them yourself, and CASE CASE CASE your cakes!! Shroomery - Magic Mushrooms (Shrooms) Demystified ^^ Everything you could need to knows in here good luck
this oh, and NOONE is gonna send you spores in any state where it is illegal, no reputable sites anyway and if you get one from an unreputable site, you prolly wont get your shit your best bet would be to get it mailed to a friend that lives out of state, and have him/her mail it to you
DO not buy kits. It is much better and cheaper if you buy the materials seperate. go to the message boards on shroomery and then go to the mushroom cultivation section and read the stickies. For personal yields I like PF tek.
DO NOT under any circumstances pay for one of those kits unless your a complete moron with the IQ of a 3rd grader... You can buy all the stuff you need for much much cheaper than what they charge for those kits... Basically you need Organic brown rice flour Vermiculite Tin foil Water Blank syringes and spore print 1/2 pint tapered jars or 2 quart tapered jars Pressure cooker that goes to 12 psi or large pot with tight sealing lid An stove Perlite (if you want to go with perlite humidification) A plastic container that seals, such as a rubbermaid bin Lysol alcohol disinfectant spray Rubbing alcohol A lighter or other flame source Mixing bowls and spoons with measuring cups After you have all this, look for a guide, such as the Pf tek on Shroomery. Heres the Pf tek: Shroomery - PF Tek Cut out the damn middlemen and don't buy those kits for god sake, save yourself some money and buy an eight of some super dank Good luck and god speed
how come spore kits are bad? i was thinking about getting one, can someone elaborate. like are they ridiculously expensive or something?
ridiculously expensive compared to the small amount of research that would need to be done on shroomery.org

This is probably the unpopular response but I gotta say that there are legitimate reasons to getting a kit. Like if you don't have a pressure cooker and not good at sterilizing. If you need to be stealther and can afford to explain why your boiling jars of flour. While just following one of the teks is ultimatly cheaper and gives more flexability in yield it doesn't make someone an idiot for using one esp. A first time grower. To answer the OP search the internet you can get a allin one kit that requires no work for about 125-150 dollars. Theres an internet book company that even sells one where the spores come in the growbag and you just pull a tab to realease them into the medium. With any of those thing YMMV though. Disclaimer: Used a kit once and it worked after that I just did it myself.
