Here is a simple tech almost anyone can be successful with.....
I used PK method with 2 parts birdseed (cooked like sticky rice) and 1 part brown rice flour to 2 parts vermiculite substrata with 1/2" dry vermiculite cap. Process for 45 min at 15 pounds or steam for 1 hour if a pressure cooker is not available. Inoculated with a spore syringe using 1cc or more through a single center hole in the jar lid penetrating to the center of the cake, then return the jars to the box for a week. After 7 days, turn the jars bottoms up and tamp them into your hand till the substrata pulls away from the jar bottom. Let them incubate at room temp in indirect light until fully colonized. When they begin to 'pin', birth them into a 1/2 gallon plastic jar with about a cup of perlite and 1/2 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the bottom. Just leave the cake in the jar lid and drop the whole thing onto the perlite and reseal the jar. Place the jars near a window or bright light and don't open them except to harvest. Harvest with sterile scissors cutting at the cake. Each time the jar is opened mist the open jar with 3% hydrogen peroxide
before resealing.
It works for me....
