I'm about to make my first attempt at growing mushrooms. I ordered B+ Isolated Syringe from ITW which is different than a spore syringe from what I've read. Any advice for a complete noob? I was planning on using uncle bens unless there's a better way. A list of items I'll need would be appreciated.

How I started and would If I was you is get an All in one bag and run it shoe box tek style. Pretty much fool proof.
5lb all on one bag. Rye grain and manure sub
Small shoebox size tote.
Surgical type gloves

B+ is a solid strain for newcomers and is fairly easy to grow and has been worked over the years and is a great commercial cube. Your options are: Get a PC and Noc up some grain, 70 bucks for a 16 quart Presto... Steam sterilize some cakes (can spawn cakes to Coco/Verm), the recipe is everywhere, or as mentioned above the fastest way to the finish line is an all-in-one bag that someone else has prepped. I can't speak on the Uncle Bens process, I know folks have been successful tho'. I personally recommend and have ran 12qt tubs at a high success rate with minimal hiccups. I feel they are the easiest way to produce MORE than enough for anyone. Do a few tubs and trust me, you will have fruits coming out of your ears once you get the process down.

Yeah I’d say they’re looking fine and dandy.My first one. Does it look OK?
Banging effort, looks like a good yield too
The majority of shrooms I’ve seen have always been ‘pick just before the veil tear’ for full potency but have seen a couple (Copelandiia from Hawaii was one) where the veil needed to shed completely and caps open for full potency.
Is that the case with these? Was it B+ you mentioned?
