I think these work ok. Might not n be small enough micron level. I think.22 is recommended but.25 should be fine
Here is the book I purchased to get started. I skipped over PF tek and went straight to bulk substrate method. It’s got some holes but those holes can be filled by the internet.
How to Grow Magic Mushrooms The Easy Way!!!!!
Hey Lovely Earth Family! This is My first post on the Forum. I am a passionate mycologist who loves what learning. My main goal is to spread love in everything that I do. So, the best way I knew how to do that was writing a book for the community!! I Wrote and published a book on amazon called "How to Grow Magic Mushrooms the Easy Way by Mycolangelo". It is a straight forward guidebook to how to grow Cubensis easily and affordable using liquid cultures and monotubs for research purposes only. There is so much information included in the book that I learned throughout the beginning of my mycology career. My goal for this book was to make it as informative, simplified, and as easy to follow as possible. You can find this book on amazon by searching the full name or by going to the link provided: https://www.amazon.com/Grow-Magic-Mushrooms-Easy-Mycolangelo/dp/B08T6241KM/ref=sr\_1\_1?dchild=1&keywords=mycolangelo&qid=1622843753&sr=8-1 ...... I Just finished writing book number two which includes way more advanced techniques and should be up on amazon soon!!!! stay tuned. my instagram is @mycomushloveee if you want to reach me. Providing spores and supplies for the community as well. Please check with your local laws as spores may be illegal in your area. So mush love to the mushroom community and wish you all a beautiful day, week, month, and year. HAPPY GROWING.
Looks like it's on the right track! As for temp, you can get a seedling heating mat for relatively cheap. Im sure they have something like this on Amazon's UK site. Make sure to get the temp controller too.
This is what I use:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VTL8STO/
It's a standalone unit in that it plugs into the wall, no stove needed. It's great since it turns itself off, and you only need to watch it for the first 10 minutes or so until it gets up to pressure, then you will turn the valve and let it be.
You will be set for at least 2-3 years.
You can buy one brick but it’s like 10 dollars, why not get 9 for 35? 🤷♀️
Here's the Amazon link, it didn't get into the post for some reason
You can do the bars two ways. The proper way, and the lazy way.
Proper: melt some chocolate to 102-105F. Then remove an amount of chocolate that will fill up a little less than 1 bar. Add your ground up mushroom stuffs, and add it to your small mass of chocolate. Using a metal spatula fold the chocolate over on itself, while it slowly cools down to around 95 degrees, then warm it back up to 100F, slowly mix it some more, and then fill your chocolate mold.
Lazy: melt chocolate to 100-105F, add in the complete quantity of ground mushroom to the entire batch, stir it all up real good, and then poor the mix into the mold and scrape the top of any excess.
The proper way will come out more like a chocolate bar you get in the store, and the lazy way comes out as a flimsy bar that has the consistency of chocolate fudge. The lazy way will need to be refrigerated as the cocoa will lack any sort of crystalline structure to give it rigidity that would otherwise hold the cocoa together.

These work well. I agree, marthas look awesome with a light inside....especially a grow light. I grow tropical plants in them as well

this is where I got it ... not a terrible price but Im thinking the yellow tee might have been the move what do you guys think
I use a bathroom and take out anything and everything I can. I run the fan for an hour before and then turn it off and let the air settle for 10 minutes before I start working. I put my SAB on a table that I move in there and clean the table as well as the walls (have been using 70% iso but gonna switch to 10% bleach water so I can flame sterilize). Then I wipe down my sab and all the tools I’m going to be working with inside and out of sab with the disinfectant that I choose. I use a fresh pair of gloves and sterilize my hands up to my elbows (also shower before). Whatever substrate I’m going to be using I keep it open as short as possible and seal it as quickly as I can. Flame sterilize needles and scalpel every bag or jar or dish. How many mss did you use to inoc those dishes? It could be that the mss was contaminated and not the dishes, but could also be that the steaming doesn’t get it to the proper temperature. Presto 01781 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000BYCFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5KWW4EQS5GG5P586ZCND this is what I use for a pressure cooker. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. I can fit 6 3lb grain bags in it, also use it for agar and can use for jars. It’s got a gauge so you can see what pressure you’re at, I’d recommend getting more of the metal plates with feet so they can be raised an inch or two off the bottom so you can put more water in it so you don’t boil it all out. Make sure to read the instructions cause those things build up some pressure. I thought about instant pots but they only build up to about 11-12 psi I think only one model builds up to 15.
Also how were your dishes stored before you used them? We’re they bagged sterile? Could it be a storage technique that allowed contam?
Well. So it's my understanding that an incubator is really only necessary for agar, and if you live somewhere cold to regulate your inoculated substrate of choice. After that normal house temps seem to work just fine. I just harvested upwards of 150+gs of GTs. But I get the desire to use the item you purchased, or at least incorporate it into your grow. It's a neat looking device. (Much better than my fish tank heater and bubbler in a double tub.🤦🏻♂️) But yes. I don't have any personal experience with the verm foil tek, but I have this book and highly recommend it for anyone who grows. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1937866289/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_TNHHGGFGPBKD2V8AF9DG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) it's got your verm foil tek in there with step by step instructions. Hopefully that answers your question.
No offense, I mean nothing but to inform you of a better, easier way. What you're going to want to do is get yourself a tub. (Here's what I used for my grows.[Dubtub] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C858S1B/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_G3NC290WN5JSN4MXP01N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) then what you're going to want to do is get some silicone sealant for around the rim of the lid. Or micropore tape to seal the space between the lid and bucket. Then you're going to want to coir verm tek in a 5 gallon bucket. You're going to put 6holes in your tub. One on each end just under the handle and the other 4 on both sides of about 3-6inches from the bottom. That's the level your bulk will go-to as well. Now cover the hole with micropore tape inside and out. (Don't forget to be doing all of this with sterile technique in the forefront of ur mind.) Then make yourself a liner for the inside, mix 3 inches of coir/verm with your colonized tub, being sure to break up the entire thing back into individual grains and mixed in evenly. Then cover with a top layer and pack it in pretty firmly. Put your lid on and seal with micropore tape. The placement of the holes in the tub will create a natural flow of fresh air. No fanning, no misting, no extra chances for contamination to get in everytime you take the lid off. Especially since by the time you get to fruiting conditions spring and all of its airborne nonsense with be starting up. Don't worry about making the bottom black, that's a nonesense extra step. Let me know if you have questions.

I used the same tubs, plant growing trays with lids. Really convenient. 3-Set Strong Plant Growing Trays with Humidity Domes for Seed Starting, Germination and Seedling Propagation, Holds 144 Cells in Total (Cell Tray Not Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KP3NH57/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_1534CQH1A4PBHCMVJQ6N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It’s more difficult which is why you have to make sure it’s right from the beginning. However, you should consider spending $20 at Amazon and buy yourself a digital meter that will tell you the moisture and pH level of your substrate. It’ll give you a peace of mind when you’re in doubt…
Sclerotia (truffles) are probably the easiest to grow.
Try to find a spore supplier within your country, so they won't have to pass through customs. Look for P. Mexicana, P. Tampanensis (my recommendation), or P. Galindoi (I did not have luck with this species for some reason and there seems to be a lot of disagreement about whether it is a species in its own right or a cultivar of P. Mexicana, so YMMV.)
Watch this video; just invest in a pressure cooker (my pick), and never live a life without access to medicine again.
Yes, dry them in a dehydrator.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008H2OELY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this at Amazon they sent me a pack of 10 for the price of one and told me … Keep the change you filthy animal
I bought this bad boy and it worked great. It heats to around 165' but I think you can take the heating element out of it and just use the forced air to dehydrate if that's your preference.
That looks amazing! I want to try doing this but not sure where or how to start? Are either of these any good?

Pick it now before the veil breaks. Also Amazon has a small telescoping mirror that you can look under the veils when you have a large flush is really useful.

Do a lot of research and don't eat anything until you're absolutely 100% sure - there are a lot of look a likes in the woods, some of them can hurt you (no joke).
I'd recommend getting involved with a mycology or foraging club in your area, it's a great way to meet like-mined folks and have someone walk you through identification of different species, what to look for, where to look for them, and when.
Here’s what I first bought out of simplicity. It’s the cheaper bang for your buck on Amazon but you need a scale to weigh it out. Otherwise, coco coir is commonly sold in a 650g brick, and sometimes in a 3 pack. Standard substrate recipes call for 650g’s coco coir, so the bricks can be convenient. If you have the funds, you could also add vermiculite, but again not terribly necessary.
