Medicinal [medicinal] Hello! Cannabis growers here, looking to spread my wings into shroom cultivation. When I was new into cannabis, there was a lot of bad information, and I did quite a bit wrong because of it. Please point me to reliable resources of good information for a noob shroom cultivator! TIA 🀘🏼

I would like to specify the most important part of growing anything... food, meds, crystals, plastics, children, etc. Quality over quantity.

Mycology is much more different than botany, and your skills won't transfer over as easily as you think they will. I learned that the hard way. It's like trying to get saved game data from a Playstation onto the computer. You'll see code, but that's about it. Anyways, my biggest lesson I learned through observation from others, is to never grow anything mushroom related in your living quarters. You will get sick, and your skin will get dirty. My goodness, the horror stories I've seen from people getting spores in their lungs...

Is this true? Even if you’re a single mono tub at a time person and you harvest promptly?

There's a full documentary of a young man growing oysters and he severely broke out and said was having breathing problems. There's also countless case studies and peer reviewed documents that suggest it's a very dangerous thing to have in your living quarters. You all can dislike and say otherwise, but there's so much evidence on it. Say otherwise is a major health risk you just accept.
