@Alexander B. - SC I am open to whatever works best
@R O M A N V S I know a fish tank would be a good place to let the spores grow.
Fish tank with a piece of glass inside to spray water on(enough to keep a humid environment, not make mushrooms wet) ambient light (such as in the vicinity of a window, not in the direct sunlight) everything must be thoroughly sterilized beforehand
Thomas has hit the nail on the head as far as indoor growing is concerned. Spores are injected into mason jars full of nutrient pellets in order to create the mycellium (spelling?) which is the "heart" of your mushroom growth. The contents are then removed from the jars and placed in a sanitized container, in ambient light, and then spritzed with water periodically.
When it comes to heartier mushrooms, you can easily grow them outside given the right conditions.
^ this is a great resource for ordering "log plugs" which are exactly what they sound like. Simply drill holes in logs, insert plugs, boom - shiitakes. The conditions have to be fair, but shiitakes are pretty resiliant. I imagine you have to spray the logs with water once every now and again *maybe*. But I can't imagine it taking any more effort than that.
You can also use a medium of vermiculite and organic brown rice(ground)
Yes?
Thank you for the input thus far everyone, especially Alex and Thomas. I will do some more research and probably be back to further the discussion.
Ah, yeah your mushrooms. Good luck with them!
You got it, brother
Simple lesson coming soon on how to keep critters and varmints from getting your cantaloupes!
Is it a Ruger 10/22?
@Grenadier lol

How does one know if a plant is getting too much direct sunlight?
@WhyTea-Gardener i have a kiefer pear tree and the fruit is starting to come to term. The fruit does not taste very well to eat straight from the tree and I was told that it is best used for jams and jellies. Are there any other uses as far as cooking is concerned that you are aware of? I've never seen a pear cobbler or pie etc.
@Dan iiii for some plants it's not the direct sunlight but rather the high temperature
@Dan iiii Depends largely on the plant but the surest way to tell is if it gets sunburned. Yes, plants get sunburned. They affected portion will turn white and papery (I'll post a pic below). If you're asking about time of exposure, remember that plants do their actually growing in the dark so too long exposure can cause the plant to grow more slowly or not fruit, etc.
@Deleted User I'm more familiar with the jams and jellies myself but a cobbler or pie might be nice. Follow the same recipes as for apple and I'd expect it would work out fine.
@Grenadier lol no it's little cages made of hardware cloth!
Keeps them off your crops and free meat!
And you get to shoot something!
Have any of you dealt with or been a beekeeper? I think I'd like to get some hives soon
Nice, do often sell a lot of honey or do you end up using most of it on your own?
We have a fella that sells it out. They crank out quite a bit of honey. Tens and tens of pounds
Wow, how many hives do you have?
3.
We've pulled north of 30 so far out of two this year
If you don't mind me asking how much do you get from all that money wise?
A bottle (about half a pound) retails at about eight bucks. Beekeeper charges about 1/2 to 2/3 of that.
@Deleted User could you describe the flavor/texture of the pears?
Juicy as hell, little gritty and have an earthy taste moreso than you'd expect
@R O M A N V S sterilization is key
Nice
Can anyone ID this plant?
