they look good, but ID is critical that your 100% sure. i bought a mushroom field guide from my local book store to help me id all kinds of mushies. i always did spore prints but now i hate shroom hunting, growing is so much easier if you have the ability

i had a quad of dry after my fist batch i ever grew and that was pretty intense. i ate them rite befor i went to see blue man group and i started tripping during the show and my trip sitter had to drive me home. it was fun. but it was nothing compared to my lsd expiriences. lsd is another world.

honestly,

thge whole reason i started growing was because i dont trust outdoor shrooms. they are at risk to the elements, they could get contam's, and its cool to watch them grow in my opinuion, and i think(in my theory, but not a proven theory) that they jus have more consistancy in the amount of psilocybin in them. its nice working hard for something and having a sweet payoff. but iv only been growing for 6 mounths now. and anytime baph says something i take his word for it. he knows way more then i do.

dessicant is the stuff you get in a new box of shoes, its something that will dry out the moisture in the air.

be vary careful if u use a blowdryer. if u heat the mushrooms they will lose their potency. psilocybin is sensitive to heat. desicants work good but i think they take a while. i like using food dehydrators. but any method is good so long as you dont apply any heat to the mushrooms. iv never used a fan or blowdryer but from wht i hear it works relativly well.

sorry the white or rather off white contamination could possibly be cobweb mold Dactylium Mildew

 there is a contamination that is a kinda "off-white". mycelium is white. if its off white or grey it is contamination. the purple color your talking about could be the mycelium is bruised. im not an expert on shrooms but this sonds exactly lik a problem iv run into befor

best of luck. hopefully its just some bruising

would you suggest a humidifier over perlite?

im looking to try an isolate strains using agar media. this will be my first time doing so and i want to hear how efficient or how troublesome it was to do. my plan is to inoculate 3 petri dishes and see witch one grows the best. ill take the one that dose the best and ill isolate the mycelum strain and use it to inoculate one jar. and then see how my mushrooms do. this is going to be a trial and error expirament for sure. but my hope is to isolate a good strain and keeps isolating the strains after it. is this a viable way to produce god strains. my reasoning behind this is that i want a strain that will grow and fruit well.

try a health food store. brf is a specialty item and a specialty shop should carry it

and if you wish to grow good mushrooms your first investment is gonna have to be a big one. after tht its is relitivly cheap because you can keep making spore prints or grow your favorite strain on agar and save it for future use. also you can you then use just rice method to inoculate 10 jars, then use those 10 jars to inoculate 100 jars. the mushrooms sustain themselves. the perlite and vermiculite are the things you can run out of regularly. and i jus got a bag of verm for 5.56 from the store and perlite was 4.50

good luck

would a humidifier be good in combination with the perlite or would my efforts be futile :huh:
