Here are some essential instruments you will need to grow your mushrooms
Top row left to right
1. a spore print in a jar \ 2. propyl alcohol \ 3. spirit burner \ 4. glass pyrex container
Bottom row left to right
1. some cotton wool buds \ 2. A lat edged metal scraper \ 3. metal tweezers \ 4. metal scissors
\ 5. syringe needle \ 6. syringe
A long syringe needle can be easily made by removing the original needle from its green
plastic holder with the use of a pair of grips & replacing with a thin piece of stainless steel
tubing, obtainable from model and craft shops, or metal engineering companies. You may
ind it easier if you heat the tip of the steel tube before you insert it into the holder.
