This guy is awesome. I took a Permaculture class in September in Colorado, and he was one of my teachers.

check out spores 101 dot com, they are much cheaper than stamets.

you can also go the the woods and find one. then do a spore print. i have yesterday and have seen the spores under microscope. now im on to growing them in a bag like this guy.

or corrugated cardboard as a substrate. You can take tissue clones if sold locally. I wonder when you put the holes in the bag, i guess near the end of colonization, but not too late.

Great idea - the baggie. I'm growing mycelium in a medium-sized tupperware bowl of coffee grounds, which are pasteurized by the brewing process. It's growing like gangbusters; I transferred some "starter" to a larger basket with holes in the sides, a mix of straw and paper soaked in boiling water to kill any competing fungi, and more coffee grounds with the filters, as mushrooms need more cellulose than coffee grounds provide. In a garbage bag until mycelium spreads, then air for fruiting.
