A few shroom questions.

[vwguy]

Well sorry in advance if my questions seem ridiculus. I just ordered a strain from www.thehawkseye.com, I ordered B+ strain of cubensis that i am planning on cultivating using the vermiculite BRF method. I have purchced a new plastic tupperware container that i am planning on drilling several 1/4 inch holes along the bottom on the sides for CO2 exchange. Also i bought the clear type container. I have yet to pick up a pressure cooker but i will do that soon. So now to my questions. When i get my mushrooms to full growth can i use a piece of the mushrooms to get more jars seeded and started on the road to making more mushrooms? Now should i go with the BRF method or should i go with the rye seed method? If i go that way when i colonize my first jars i use that to seed more jars that are sterile. then that goes into an open container that is opague with vermiculite on top right. when they are at full growth can i put the jars in the fridge to stall them for later or do i need to let them fruit? So when i let them start after seeding they need to be in the tupperware container in a dark warm place when the colony is at full growth then i empty the jars into the bottom of the container with substate in the bottom to keep tehe humidity up airing out a few times every day, and they are out in the open at this time in indirect sunlight around 75 degrees at this time correct.. also is vermiculie reuseable??? sorry if im asking to many stupid questions. i just dont really want to be wasting unnessasary money...
thank you for any help you can give.

All of your questions can be answered at shroomotopia.com in the Tek section. Verm can sometimes be re-used as a casing but anything else no. You can use a part of a shroom to noc up more jars but it contaminated every time I tried it cept now I have one finally working. Rye sucks, it contaminates easy and I have never had success with it despite being a seasoned grower. I prefer wbs(wild bird seed) anyway you make your cakes and only put 1-2cc's of spore solution, when fully colonized you can birth right to the fruiting chamber or you can dunk it over night. I never dunk until after the 1st flush. You want to have multiple batches going so if you lose some there are back-ups.....your questions aren't stupid, but you need to do some more reading

Also, there is a PF tek without the verm barrier on the top and it works better cuz that barrier often wicks water up to contamns...:D
