Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Well, folks, I just received my " Grow-your-Own " kit for Agaricus Blazei Mulli mushrooms from http://www.mushroomadventures.com And, I just started growing them. Here's what this is about. 1. A. Blazei Mushrooms are quickly gaining a reputation for being a cancer fighter (see the foods page on my web site at http://cures for cancer.evangelist.net and click on the agaricus link) because of the high content of immune boosterBeta Glucan. They are also good for other illnesses. 2. A. Blazei mushrooms are native to Brazil, and it is difficult to cultivate them elsewhere except in special cultivation farms with climate controls. But, they are being cultivated in Japan, and the price there is very high. Product is shipped dry in 100g to 1Kg bags or boxes. 3. Japanese companies are very much involved with A. Blazei production, even in Brazil. It even appears that Japanese and Chinese companies are trying to capture the world market. Entrepreneurs there would drive the price up by depleting world supply. 4. While growing conditions are not perfect in my bathroom, since I have two bathrooms and never use one of them, I have a cardboard growing box in the bathtub. This came about as follows: A couple of weeks ago while I was researching A. Blazei for my web site, I ran across Dan Simoni, owner of Mushroom Adventures in San Francisco CA. He provides mushroom growing kits. I asked if he had Agaricus Blazei and to my surprise, he did! So I struck a deal with him and he sent me a kit. I just received it yesterday. The kit consists of a cardboard box about 2 ft x 1 ft x 1.5 ft lined with a polyethylene bag and filled with compost that has white fibrous moldy-looking stuff growing in it. On top of that is a poly ziplok bag containing a couple of pounds of peatmoss. The compost is about a foot deep You open the box, roughen up the surface of the compost, put 5 cups of water in the peatmoss bag, stir that up with a cup of the compost till the water is absorbed, then spread it on the surface of the compost, and sprinkle another cup of water on top. Then, you put the box out of direct sunlight in a place where the temperature will be between 65 and 74 degrees F, and let it sit for 2 to 4 weeks, daily checking to make sure the peat moss is kept moist. You spray it with water as necessary, but do not soak or drench it. If it gets too dry, warm, or cool the mushrooms will not grow, and more extreme temperature or moisture will kill the mycelium (mushroom culture). Now, I am waiting. I will let you know when mushrooms pop up. Dan says it is difficult to get high yield from the musroom kit he has for A. Blazei, probably because of climate. But other mushroom varieties grow well in the kits. You can get 4 or 5 crops from a kit, and then you dump the compost into your flower or vegetable garden, or turn the kit into a herb farm by planting herbs in it and setting it near a sunny window. If these kits can be made to work for A. Blazei, you can possibly save some money and have the world's healthiest mushrooms growing in your bathtub or family room. If you have cancer, you will probably need a much bigger quantity of the mushrooms than even 3 or 4 kits could provide, assuming they produce well.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Bob, wouldn't it be simpler to buy these in capsule or pill form..or wouldn't they be as good? And in the bath-tub, or etc, if not growing out doors do you keep a special light on them..and what do you use a thermometer around the clock to check the temperature. Goodness to mercy Bob, this sounds harder than taking care of infants..Less stress I'm sure. Then what happens when the mushrooms fail to go, there goes more money down the drain, and the healing isn't any further ahead. Why don't you just put up a green house in the back yard, and produce enough to sell on the market? DAh! Just kidding, but good for thought and a laugh that cures all things. Have a nice day Yaw hear?
