Mushrooms

Hey guys :) 🍄so I've seen many other growers post their grows of different plants. So I'd love to share with you my very first mushroom grow that I did for research purposes🤠!! With barely any equipment at my crib.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 So the way I started is actually a lot of reading and constantly looking at other growers tips and pointers on Reddit was very helpful and was a key to what woke my interest(except the ending result 🤭) Most problem was is to get the spore syringe.(which contains the spores of 🍄). So one day I was lucky and I finally found someone I could get 2 spore syringes both different strain. For the begining I bought 1.Agar 2.About 20 petri dishes (used for labs) 3.Pressure cooker (very important, it's gonna be your friend almost for the whole process to help you keep your work clean and kill the bacteria) 4.Foil (to cover your petri dishes while they are in the pressure cooker) 5.Prolonged glass bottle (to sterilise your agar mix in) 6.Good senitiser , some alcohol wipes(another key for successful grow, you have to be very.. veryyy clean. Almost every time you touch some of your equipment you have to wipe it down with it. Contamination is just waiting to attack your mycelium ) 7.Parafilm taps (It is a ductile, malleable, non-toxic, tasteless and odorless, and self-sealing thermoplastic. You will use it to seal you petri dishes. This tape will keep them sealed and it helps for some fresh air circulation) 8. DIY time ahah you have to make your working space where you going to be doing all the work. If youre more cooler than me and you want to grow it for life you could invest in a laminar flow hood. If not you can make a "still air box" like me. I'll include some pictures.
