'm new to growing medicinal mushrooms, I suffer from cluster-headaches and was told by a fellow patient that this is a natural-wonder medicine..and wanted to get some fellow BL's feedback ...here it goes - my substrate jars are just about completely colonized, ready to begin fruiting, but the directions I got from the grow kit company, are not very clear, and short..I do have all of the white perlite (1 big ziplock bag full, so about a pound) and was told that I should "fill that up to an inch in the "sterlite grow chamber"" they supplied me, "and then to drain the water, so the perlite is damp. Then to knock the cakes from the jars and to place the cakes upside down on top of the dampened perlite..and to wait 2-3 days. That's it..nothing else..maybe this is the "beginners" way of growing mushrooms, but I just want to ask some of my fellow bl's...as it didn't tell me when they'd be ready or how/when to pick them or anything...so today, I've been going searching around YouTube and have found all sorts of videos, but nothing about how to transfer the cakes inside the jars (all white filled with mycelium) -into the dampened perlite..and all of the youtube growers kits were extremely nice (some had humidifiers, hydroP's, etc.) ..I just bought the "beginners kit" as said above, it only came with a sterlite box (the terrarium, a lb. of white perlite, a few LED lights, gloves and a temp./humidity gauge... I am wondering if anyone could let me know what I should do so that I can have a good yield...if Anyone has Any info on how the "begin fruiting" stage...how to: from jars to terrarium filled with perlite, or any tips..I'd really appreciate it! Thanks. - Jon
