okay check it out, heres what shroomery taught me over the past years
lets say you're making 8 jars of vermiculite/brown rice flour:
-step 1: preparing the substrate
use 2 cups verm, 1 cup brf, 1 cup water - mixed together nicely
put the stuff in the jars, but leave about 3 inches of space up top, then fill those 3 inches with DRY vermiculite.
seal the jars, poke 2 holes on each side of the lid near the edge
cover the jars in aluminum foil
pressure cook for 1 hour & let them sit for 5 hours to cool
-step 2: inoculation
make a glovebox (research it on shroomery, theyre easy and crucial)
put everything in the glovebox including a bottle of lysol to spray
spray lysol around and inoculate the jars with the syringes, use 1cc per hole in each lid you made
once youre done, put them in your incubator (i use a fish tank heater and 2 rubber maid tubs, this can also be found on shroomery)
let them incubate for about 1-2 weeks, white mycelium hyphaes will reach around the entire jar, once the jar is completely covered - take it out and fill the jar with water and a tiny tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide, then put the filled jar in the fridge for 24 hours (this rejuvinates the mycelium with fresh water to produce shrooms, the fridge part "cold shocks" them into fruit mode, just dont put them in the freezer)
-step 3: fruiting
after you take it out, put it in your fruiting chamber (i use a plastic igloo), the fruiting chamber should have 4-5 inches of sopping wet perlite in it, you can even add a teeny 1cm reservoir of water at the bottom, but no more than 1 or 2cm.
fan the chamber 2-3x daily and in 1 week it will produce pins, the pins will turn into giant shrooms as long as you fan them and dont mess anything up.
-step 4: harvesting
for harvesting, pick off the shrooms from the mycelium cake and make sure not to leave ANY residual shroom or they will rot.
after harvesting, take the cake and "dunk" it, which is what you did when you took it out of the incubator - fill its original jar with water and a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection and then put it in the fridge for 24 hours. if you want even better results, you can roll the cake in sterilized vermiculite
after dunking it, that way fresh mycelium will grow on it and have more substrate to make shrooms with.
as for temperatures, the incubator should be between 80-84 and the fruiting chamber should be between 70-74. i think thats about all you need to get started, let me know if anything confused you
