Dear blog, today i feel like growing mushrooms this summer. I dont really know how, but i saw a History channel documentory. I will need: -spores
-humid environment
-compost/decomposing materia
-darkness
-Ammonia nitrite(pee!)
so far ive got the environment, darkness, and pee down.... just gotta wait for that compost to decay..and how do i get spores?
growing mushrooms is going to be quite a challenge...

yeah alex is correct. just go get some spores from mushrooms somewhere when the news's spore/pollen count is on high or very high. its usually just before or just after the weather.

Day 2,..... need moneys................and equipments.........so, so poor...... here is a cool video guide, but they are making halucinogenic mushies..i plan to make tasty or colorful ones, my previous method will be scratched, for it take WAY to long for compost to be prepared....(stupid bacteria!) so i will be using many of the indoor methods... video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3286686859329905674you can get some spores online, from another mushroom's tissue, its mycelium, an augar plate, or a spore print.... any one wanna help me?I needs money,and my parents will only go so far for a few 20-30 dollars...

Are you going to eat them after they're all grown?

Go a-hunting in the wilderness~ I think Merell mushrooms are starting to go out of season.. I was going to try to look for those around my house.. (I wouln't want to spend more than 30 dollars on mushroom growing myself..)

Are you going to eat them after they're all grown? With pee all over them? That would be a tough decision. They'd have to be some kinda gourmet 1-Up Mushrooms or something...

no... pee is not needed for this new method.....its morel..i think..and yes i might eat them -you cant grow morels at home, its too hard to mimic the conditions! I did my research! but morels look cool, and they are said to be delicious!!! youtube.com/watch?v=649GRyECfZcand i would like to try truffles too!

Just get one of those puff mushrooms and BOOM spore galore. (I used to think they were cool when I was little; but after learning those were spore flying everywhere.. it's not so cool)

How much does it cost to grow them?

well you can pasturize with a pressure cooker, or hyrogen peroxide, a pressure cooker is like 50-70 dollars, and i dont know much about hydrogen peroxide..
so maybe around 40-80 dollars
