Never heard of anyone using a crock pot. Try studding the PF-tek found on this website. You will probably want to start out with a pot of boiling water on the stove. Just because it is the cheapest and easiest way to start this hobby. I have been buying my spores from RalphsterSpores and it is not an online purchase. Most reputable sites will tell you that they don't keep any records though. Also it is not illegal to buy the spores for microscopic use.

Dunking different strains together will not hurt them.

I used plastic wrap on my first FC and it worked fine. I didn't poke any holes in it though. The foil is placed under the cakes as a moisture shield so they are not sitting directly in the water.

I always wait at least a full week after the jars appear to be fully colonized. Like PW said just don't expose them to light and they should be OK.

You should stick with the methods described on this site until you know what you are talking about. The PF- TEK information is here for a really simple reason-IT WORKS.

It should be white. I also grind my own rice for flower and it does not make a difference in the color.

You can eat them fresh or dry them for storage. there are several methods of drying them. Try using the search function and choose the method that suits you. I just dry mine out under a fan on some screen material. It only takes a couple of days.

I have never had any luck with Myco bags. But, then again I never had luck with anything else that I purchased from SporeBank either.

Thanks for the photos PW. Thats pretty much what mine ended up looking like. About twenty-five off my first flush. I sampled four of them over the holiday. Damn, this is quite an amusing hobby I've stumbled onto.

Is there an advantage to casing BRF cakes over just placing them in the FC?

Thanks to everyone. this is my first question since I registered on this sight. I have six BRF cakes of PF classic that are almost ready to harvest. I am also currently colonizing six jars of the Tasmanian strain. I am looking forward to studding the PF classic in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait.

 Hey anyone,
       After I have harvested my first flush of mushies, how do I cause my cakes to produce additional flushes?
