PF-Tek for Simple Minds. The PF-Tek was developed and first made public in 1992 by www.fanaticus.com (mirror).
This tek made the cultivation of mushrooms at home feasible for complete beginners utilizing commonly available materials. The growing method I describe here is based on the PF-tek but includes a few modifications that are time tested, and are in my opinion superior to the original PF-tek. I strongly recommend you to read the original PF-Tek, if you haven't done so already, to see a different approach to some steps. The PF-Tek for Simple Minds is as simple and as foolproof as it gets, but is not completely foolproof of course. Grow Mushrooms from Spores.
