Best rice flour according to redditors

Pressure cooker isn't required if you use Brown Rice Flour (BRF Tek).

$7.72 for Vermiculite

$2.69 for Brown Rice Flour

$7.42 for perlite

$16.59 for 12 wide-mouth canning jars

$2.99 for clear storage bin fruiting vessel

and if cost is really an obstacle, you could do a "Merchant's Choice" overstocked spore syringe for $9, or a specific strain for $12 (though $16 is not an unreasonable price)

You can make a glove box from a cardboard box and some cellophane

That puts us at $46.41... if you make use of the Amazon Mom's club or Student's club, you can get free shipping on any order.

So, yeah, I underestimated costs by a little bit.

Your criticism isn't really fair though since the "P. Cubensis Kit" only supplies 1 obviously flimsy and terribly small fruiting chamber, where humidity will be extremely hard to control, One single jar where if the substrate isn't shaken properly and regularly, you won't be able to remove it from said jar, and no pressure cooker to continue on with more than one harvest...

My suggested $46 shopping list will allow you to clone your fruits into an endless supply of shrooms, with the occasional need to resupply vermiculite and perlite.

BRF Tek... cheap and easy. Look at their sponsors for cheap, reliable spore providers. Read their forums for all the info you need.

P.S. Shipping a grown mycelium of Psilocybe mushrooms is illegal in every state in the U.S. and could get you in some serious trouble. Sale, Posession and transport of the ungrown spores, is however, legal in every state except for California, Idaho and Georgia

Maybe they've changed in recent years - but I found I did not like Bob's Red Mill - it wasn't fine enough for a really high quality yellow cake to me.

I made a few wedding cakes and multi-tier birthday cakes using this flour in a mix with potato starch and tapioca starch.

The mix / recipe I found in this book

This is just 7 days after I injected spores. I bought the spores from SporeDepot. I am using the B+ spores.

I didn't have a pressure cooker so I just bought premade BRF Jars from Amazon. (I know I am going to get hate for this)

It's Japanese senbei (aka sembei), a general term for cookie or cracker. The sweet type is often sold as a tea cookie (not necessarily containing tea, but to accompany tea) or as wafer cookies.

They are basically flat fortune-less fortune cookies. Check out the many many fortune cookie recipes and see which one sounds like the one you tasted (buttery? sesame-flavored?, etc.). Made fresh, they are infinitely superior to the individually-wrapped fortune cookies given out in Chinese restaurants in America.

Available online, here, (no idea why it's in Spanish) and here, especially in the ginger versionm which is pure crack.

If your recipe calls for sweet rice flour, Blue Star mochiko from Koda farms is the way to go! I see it sold at Asian markets on the West Coast... hopefully you can find it. If not, Asian imports may be oookaaayyy.

Chebe. I use the all purpose mix for my pizza crusts, their crust mix has herbs in it that I can't have. You can do a thick and chewy type or a thin crust type just by experimenting with thickness and baking time.

DeBoles. All of these are great. The lasagna noodles can be thick and gummy if you aren't careful. They're the only real trial-and-error noodle on the list, the rest are awesome.

Asian Rice Noodles. So easy to make and a perfect substitute for angel hair pasta.

Rice Flour. I have yet to find a recipe that this doesn't work on. Simply subbing this stuff in for wheat flour just seems to work for me. Microwave mug cake, soup thickener, breading, brownies...it works great.

These are all things I can find in my grocery store.

I have a wheat, corn, soy, and peanut allergy. If it makes you feel any better, I see the list of things that the GF folks can eat and it boggles my mind how many options you guys have. It seems like a lot of substitutions use other things I'm allergic to. So if you're feeling overwhelmed or depressed, remember old soy-wheat-corn-peanut guy living in his bubble and smile a little.

Ok so don't answer me if you don't want to I don't want to make your situation more annoying than it is but I am really curious as I read that post and have some questions.

I am 21 days today after inoculation and my jars are 90% colonized with no contam.

First - this is the BRF i used(you already know the verm obviously) https://www.amazon.com/Brown-Pounds-Anthonys-Tested-Gluten-Free/dp/B00PG8RT6O/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/146-5161044-0317519?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00PG8RT6O&pd_rd_r=3968f925-c510-40f8-82ce-40ea62719766&pd_rd_w=buh9u&pd_rd_wg=u0RZI&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=QRD3VDQM7YW15K52NDZB&psc=1&refRID=QRD3VDQM7YW15K52NDZB

Second - I think temperature may a problem my friend. In your prior post you said the jars sit in a 77-80 degree area and you have a small heater near them. BUT remember with PF tek the jars will be 3-5 degrees warmer on the inside than the surrounding temp. I would lower that room temp to 75 as high 70's is perfect for the spores to thrive.

Third - are you covering the incubation chamber / area? They should be in complete darkness until 100% colonization.

Fourth - Are you cooking the jars after you put your substrate in them? You should be pressure cooking them or baking them to sanitize. If you are sanitizing... are you waiting until the jars / sub is cool again to inoc?

Fifth - What do your lids look like? Did you cover the lids 100% with foil? I did this once and had no growth at all - once i took the foil off and just left the lids on with the holes from inoc the mycel starting booming.

If you do all that stuff right the only thing I can think is you have bad spores but based on your prior posts I do not think that is the case.

I bought mine on amazon. It's an add on item so I just got something else I needed with it. I bought it in 2013 and I've not even used a quarter of the bag.

Amazon is amazing!

I bought these my dude https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MEV79KC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
These jars are also reusable so that saves cash.

They work well! About 20 days since innoculation and im like 90% colonized. Granted ive been using a seed germination pad to keep the temp up. Downside is there is only one injection port so its colonizing from one side so it probs takes longer. So to compensate i injected like 3 ccs per jar instead of the usual 2. Probs could have done 2 ccs fine. Plus 6 bucks is cheap. I ised a spore syringe i bought from a reputable supplier

One brf cake could produce 3-4 flushes! Plus you could even break it up and put it in new substrate like coco fibers.

Species wise, id say just stay away from P. cyanensis cause it grows mainly on wood and is hard to get to fruit from what i read. Im currently using golden teachers (P. cubensis) for my first grow.

Most peoples problems seem to come from contams during innoculation. The port makes it super easy to not have contamination in my opinion. First grow ive done and i had 0 contam. Molds love to grow in the substrate so if its off white or other colors and grows like super fast 2-3 days for full colonization, its probs contaminated. Just use an alcohol pad to wash the port, i grabbed sterilized surgical gloves and a sterile hypodermic needle (without a filter) from my job so that might have helped. I didnt even flame my needle, though people recommend flaming the needle

So you ordered 4 of These, inoculated, waited for full colonization, transplanted into a prepared monotub full of substrate and harvested? It's that simple?

Just did a quick Google search. Can get mochiko' flour at Wal-Mart http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Mochiko-Sweet-Rice-Flour-16-oz-Pack-of-6/31222438

and amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NHDP9F8?cache=396ed4c730f57bc402500acb397057f5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1414073396&sr=8-5#ref=mp_s_a_1_5

Also it looks like bob red mill sells sweet rice flour too - I've never used that before but I k ow the mochiko' brand is great :)

Same! I was considering making my own, but I haven't seen short grain rice either. I was just going to cave and buy some short grain rice on amazon and grind it myself in my mortar and pestle lol.... but this one is the right one, and so far the only one that has come up for me on amazon.... So it's still really difficult to find. At least the sweet one is less difficult to find.
