All you need is love, right? That and a spore print, a bottle of isopropanol, some kind of container, something organic to fill it up with, a still air box, syringes, nylon gloves, a live digital hydrometer connected to a humidifier, AI-assisted video surveillance of fruiting stages, a laminar flow hood from a chem lab, a spare room to be used as a fruiting chamber, a NASA certified turbo low heat air dryer, a M50 gas mask, UV sterilizer, a couple of flamethrowers... just simple stuff.

Whoa there...,were mushrooms growers not scientist!.

I am semi amateur ,i grow most of my mushroom in my shed outside. Using fuel pellet with bran and my equipment consist of an instant pot,dozens mason jars and a few boiled and reused syringes.

Cant say i produce as much as some people but i think with the right mindset you can start the hobby with pretty minimal stuff ;).
