Well sloppy pretty much hit the nail on the head. I’ll chime in to say those were 55 grams when harvested today (wet weight), so about 5.5 dry. That’s about 2 trips for me, or 1 big’un and a smaller chill dose. I mostly microdose though, these will most likely be heading for the mortar & pestle then into capsules!
I did a grow from MSS a while back, and one fruit popped up and matured basically while all the other pins were still teenytiny. Cloned that puppy to agar, and it’s been one of the most aggressive fruiters I’ve had so far! This is a 90 sec rice bag inoculated with agar wedges. I was munchin’ shrooms before I even went S2B...
Can anyone help or give advice. I’d like to grow my own but the process is so overwhelming. What is the easiest way to just start and not worry about introducing additional microorganisms?
I agree with Indicah, if you’re a first timer Uncle Ben’s tek is the way to go. You can always move up to sterilizing your own grain. I also recommend making and using a still air box (SAB), it will greatly reduce your risk of introducing contamination and make your growing experience much better. Learn and practice sterile techniques. You can never be too careful with sanitization and sterilization.
If you’re a visual learner watch the videos on 90 Second Mycology youtube channel, and PhillyGoldenTeacher is awesome too, link also on the sidebar.
shroomery.org has a metric fuckton of information available, but it can be kinda daunting for beginners. Don’t let it intimidate you tho, there’s lots of good info there. Use the search bar.
Just know that even though there’s plenty of ways a grow can go wrong, most of it can be avoided by using sterile techniques. But you dont need anything fancy, just some spores, UB bags, SAB, couple small clear plastic tubs, and some coco coir. Start simple and grow from there :)
If you have any specific questions, ask us! I’ve found most online shroom communities are chill and helpful, and I’d like to continue that here on lemmy :)

I can’t seem to stop saving (hoarding?) little containers that I think would be fun to grow mushrooms in.
