I'm going to be starting mushrooms soon. any other raw foodies grow their own shrooms? I ordered a cubensis syringe this morning and am going to home depot/walmart later today to get my supplies.

Is it easy? If it is, I'm definitely on board for this!

I lived with a guy who grew them. As long as you keep a very sterile environment then it is actually quite easy to do. I didn't do the growing so I don't have any tips. Good Luck!:D

I grew them once from a kit. They were ready sooner than I expected and I had far too many at once. The thing looked nasty too.

Never had to Courage to try to grow any, remember the Movie with Clint Eastwood, can't think of the name.

There are only a couple of mushrooms I can grow in Florida. Shitake being one. Good use for my oak trees. They grow in oak logs. However, I am too bush weeding the garden and growing food to go around chopping down oak trees for mushrooms. Maybe later in my life when I retire.

I grew that species back when I was in college. Suggest making a liquid culture using karo, and then inoculating bags of sterilized Rye Grain.

Jars are huge PITA for the yeild....

Also, be careful, that species comes with a hefty jail term if caught.
