        @Brock:

        @Filthy:

        Damn, you've got quite the brown thumb Brock. That's more luck than I ever had growing any cubes. But I think the kind I had wear not really suited for the climate I'm in. I was shopping for potency and not viability back when I did that the one summer. I never got more than maybe two flushes, like enough to give to my friends.

        Thanks man. This was my first go at it and I think I lucked out. Especially since I went from multi spore syringe (MSS) straight to grain instead of using agar. It’s all about keeping it sterile until you have colonized substrate. But I’m still a major noob and I’m excited to try cultivating gormet mushrooms!

        I saw an interesting vapor lock device that is dry autoclavable (oven) that goes on the top of a mason jar. But I guess you do the agar thing and inject the spores into a liquid, then put it on birdseed, then into your fruiting chamber. Google PF TEK to see the procedure I used. Like I said, I think I should have just gotten some easier to grow spores and I probably would been fine.

        I have the death cap mushroom that grow around my house. One bite of them and you'll be needed a kidney transplant in a month… But by the time you realize you're sick it's already too late. 🤷

                          Nice! @Chap I have seen similar looking mushrooms in the forest around my city, but I'm not sure what they are exactly. What do you do with the ones you have in your photos?

                                  Wow @Chap I would love to try those!

                                  Here is a cauliflower I found this morning but it was too buggy with eggs on it and looked a bit old. First time finding one I was thrilled.

                                  Found a few chickens too but they were too old also

                                    Yep @Oaktavia they are nice but what I know about the ones growing here they should not be to old if you want to eat them.

                                            Lots of interesting looking ones growing where I’m staying this week. No idea what any of these are so leaving well alone. They also look better than me in photos, but I’m not going to get jealous of a bunch of mushrooms  😃
