First Time Shroom Grower?

[Trick509]

Hi, I'm growing shrooms for the first time, I have bought a grow bag with substrate pre packaged and sterile along with a syringe of 12 CC of Cubenis-Mestizo strain, I was just wondering if anyone has any useful tips other than being extremely sterile while growing, anything will work and help, Thanks!

Be patient and keep a close eye on your temps. Having the proper temp can mean the difference between a mass of God's Flesh and a wad of beautiful, but useless contams. Can I ask which companies you went with? (spores and bag)

Yeah, I used the Mestizo from http://www.micro-supply.com/mushrooms.htm
and the grow bag I got was from this site http://www.mushfarms.com/index.html
The bag was one of the best sterile ones I saw, and it comes pretty well prepared, so you say to keep a close eye on temperature, meaning around 70 to 80 degrees right?

Tip: search many pics of cobweb mold because it's (maybe?) the only mold that can develop on fully developed mycelium.
But as soon as you spot it you can kill it with a mild hydrogen peroxide solution.
Cobweb isn't dangerous because it isn't toxic, but you know, it's better to be safe
