How To Grow Mushrooms At Home - Easy Syringe Sterilization Procedure

tinyurl.com - Grow Your Own mushrooms, step by step instructions! Here's an easy and straight forward way to sterilize your syringes with boiling water before creating your own spore syringes from spore print. **This is not to be used for sterilizing syringes meant for human or animal injection!** You can use "single use only" syringes in this way to clean it out and get it ready for the next step in the "grow mushrooms at home" process - that is, turning your spore print or grain jar into a spore syringe or a grain liquid culture. Either can be used to innoculate your Brown Rice Flour/Verm for the PF Tek, or grains for bulk bin growing. This technique is used by many shroom growers. It is not 100% foolproof, but does an excellent enough job with few enough contaminants as a result that it's worth the small bit of effort. Plus, some of the other ways of sterilizing syringes don't really work well with "single use" syringes. Certain parts of those types of syringes aren't meant for withstanding the heat of your pressure cooker. Got questions? Please ask!
