Hello

I plan to be growing mushrooms soon for the first time and I really want to do it right. I've got plenty of time and patience so I don't plan on rushing in to this and because of this having been reading on and off about shroom growing for weeks now. This has left me a bit concerned and confused, the PF-Tek for Simple Minds guide here seems to cover everything and seems to be the easiest to follow about but I was wondering if it's the best? Is there anything missing? The original PF-Tek seems much more complicated but am I right in thinking that just by following this guide everything will be ok?

Thanks!

Pf-tek is the best for beginners. Follow the guide, dot your eyes and cross your tee's and you will be fine.

Great, thanks!

I'm on the hunt for an alcohol lamp, am I right in assuming I can use Methylated Spirits in place of alcohol? This might be a UK/US difference here..

You can use a bic lighter.
If that's not your gig you can always make your own alcohol lamp.

Alcohol is alcohol when it comes to burning.
The point is to flame sterilize the needle.
Fire is fire no matter Methyl or Isopropyl.
Use Isopropyl,it's cheaper and just as effective.
