How much of an initial investment is there? I'm thinking of dipping my toes into the fungus.
Next to nothing. Basic set includes:
Large clear tote for glove box
Shoe boxes or 55q clear tote for monotub.
Pressure canner (presto 23 qt can be had for under 70 online)
scalpel
butane/propane torch for sterilizing scalpel
Quart jars for grain spawn
Micron filters for jar lids
coconut coir (washed, no salt)
PP5 plastic dishes for agar plates (glad mini-rounds are perfect)
-potato flakes (Idaho brand is great)
-agar (easy to find online or in asian grocery store)
-food coloring if you want to color code plates
-micropore tape for lids
Spores from a reputable source.
That's a very basic list, and I'm sure I left some things out as I am stoned and very tired from protesting.
Did I miss anything
