A friend of my brother-in-law's aunt, made up some compost... He used some straw for the bottom layer, about 2" thick. Some cow-poo next, about 2" thick. Some grains next, he thinks he accidentily "spilt" some spores into this grain and then kept it in a jar in a dark/warm place for a few days. He didn't see any significant amounts of white growth, but he "spilt" the spores into the middle of the jar and so could only see the edges. He then poured poo over these grains, about 2" thick. Then he covered it with cardboard, and left it for a week or so. Now he sees this white stuff coming up through the toplayer of cow-poo, he wants to know if he takes the cardboard off w…

Ok, i have no idea about shrooms/mushies or magic mushrooms, spores etc. Could someone give me a quick rundown of them. Like what a spawn and spore are? Reason i asked is, i met a girl this evening who just bought an ounce of mushrooms for $50 and i know all the effects and so on, but i thought hey i might try a knew adventure here and jump aboard the magic mushroom cult. I did a little research and found some kits, http://www.mushroommarket.com.au , but how easy are they to grow compared with normal eeryday eating mushrooms. Thanks, Dumbo Kel....

The Glove box is in my mind a very important thing for people interested in mycology , particularly if your having problems with contaminations. As you will see from this tutorial there is a variation of box choices that will cost different amounts, and I am sure that reading this will open up other idea’s in your mind as to what’s gonna work for you, as long as it is sealed everywhere but the arm holes you can make it work The Basic Glove Box What ya need 55ltr tub with lid ( you want it as transparent as possible ) Something to cut arm holes Ok this glove box is REALLY easy and simple , first measure up the fattest part of your arm that is gone need …
