Yall will be srprised at how easy it can be!

Grab some spores for your microscope and some gourmet cultures for the entourage effect from MushroomManMycology (use code Overgrow for 15% off and an extra freebie!) and then save 10% on grain bags and substrate and agar from my partner aPlusGrain using code MushroomManMycology on their website.

You’ll be doing great in no time! I am known for quality and freebies so you will have plenty to work with. There is always a learning curve wtith new hobbies- I do recommend reading a lot to increase your success first time but there is so much nuiance and pattern recognition that getting your hands wet and getting into a project is some of the best experience. Especially with the monetary cost being a low barrier of entry.

Get your mush on!!

Read up about how to grow truffles.

When I first started looking into growing my own shrooms (and before realizing that I just don’t have any place at all where I can do it), I wondered,”Why isn’t everybody growing truffles?” I mean, since you can get thousands and thousands of dollars for them, it seemed like the obvious thing to do.

Then I read about the process and the amount of space, time and conditions required and was like,”Oh… Okay. That’s why everybody isn’t growing truffles…” haha.

I think I did pretty o k for the first time growing black pearl oyster kings. Nice texture and I found them to be a little bit nutty tasting.

Beautiful fruits! How do you like the wood pellets? Your monobtubs do they have 4 or 5 quarts of spawn? What’s your spawn to substrate ratio with cubes?

I was eating shrooms yesterday. :dizzy_face:‍:dizzy: I always get deppressed in late winter because of the lack of sunlight and the wet cold. I trip on shrooms for one day and it fixes my brain. I woke up today and I feel like I have been reborn. :heart_eyes: The sun is shining and the birds are singing. :sun_with_face: It is a brand new world !
