Uncle Ben’s Tek Shopping List- Mushroom Growing Tech Online Grocery List

Hello fellow travelers! Welcome to the Uncle Ben’s Tek Shopping List.

The Uncle Ben’s Tek is THE easiest mushroom growing tech I have ever seen. Uncle Ben’s Tech can be used to grow all kinds of mushrooms, from gourmet, medicinal, common grocery store button mushrooms and especially the enchanted interstellar traveler type mushrooms, aka Psilocybin Cubensis mushrooms (if they are legal to grow where you live, of course).

But…

As I read through the steps to start my own mushroom growing journey, I saw the need for a concise online shopping list for EACH part of the process, so I created one.

NOTE: This Uncle Ben’s Tek Shopping List assumes enough material for 10 Uncle ben’s bags which can be inoculated using one spore syringe. You can adjust the quantities as you see fit.

If you want to see the shopping list divided in 4 parts, simply continue reading.

Uncle Ben’s Tek Part 1

Uncle Ben’s Tek Part 1 in a Nutshell

Part one of Uncle Bens Tek deep dives into how mushrooms grow, their life cycle, ETC. I HIGHLY recommend reading part one. There is technically nothing you need to purchase for part 1, so there is no shopping list.

Uncle Ben’s Tek Part 3

Uncle Ben’s Tek Part 3 in a Nutshell

Part 3 is all about spawning to bulk and Fruiting. In this stage you prepare the substrate for your mushrooms and make the conditions ideal so the substrate produces fruit (aka mushrooms). This stage uses clear plastic tubs, kept at an even, specific temperature and humidity, with just the right evaporation and fresh air exchange. Getting this right takes the right stuff and the tools you need are listed below.
