B_rad92 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 What's the easiest, cheapest way to try out growing mushrooms for 1st timers? I'd like to try a syringe and grow them inside. I've seen ppl growing in bags, jarrs in brown rice. I'm not trying to spend a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipjargendy Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I grew my first home kit in a bag with saw dust in it. If you're looking to make your own kit be sure to get saw dust from logs. Don't use sawdust from lumber since it is heavily treated with chemicals and your mushrooms probably won't grow on it. The instructions with my kit said to save some coffee grounds from a few days before to mix in with the saw dust. Also, they said to mix in a tablespoon (I think) of hydrogen peroxide. It was to kill any bacteria that may have grown during shipment. I had 3 or 4 yields from it. They were some type of oyster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
