< The PF-Tek was developed and first made public in 1992 by www.fanaticus.com (mirror).
< This tek made the cultivation of mushrooms at home feasible for complete beginners utilizing commonly available materials.
< The growing method I describe here is based on the PF-tek but includes a few modifications that are time tested, and are in my opinion superior to the original PF-tek.
< I strongly recommend you to read the original PF-Tek, if you haven't done so already, to see a different approach to some steps.
< The PF-Tek for Simple Minds is as simple and as foolproof as it gets, but is not completely foolproof of course. Following it will give you good chances of succeeding and a good idea on the general process and time line and prepare you for higher yielding teks, like using whole grains and dung.
<
< The PF-Tek for Simple Minds uses ½ pint (~240ml) canning jars or drinking glasses and a growing substrate made of vermiculite, brown rice flour and water. The substrate is mixed, filled in jars, sterilized and inoculated with mushroom spores. After the substrate is fully colonized the substrate cakes fruit in a humid container.
