I don't tell anyone. I keep it reasonable I don't grow 100 plants. I pay my bills on time. I leave no reason for law enforcement to ever suspect I am growing marijuana inside.

It's nerve racking for sure. But you have to keep fear down and act normal. Engage with your neighbors. Be a person that people want to have around. Be smart about it and plan for security to be your top priority. But before you do anything in a new home or apartment live in it a while to see what kind of a place you've got. Don't raise suspicion. That's all in addition to what the guys above said.

I'm gonna assume your name PFTEK is cause you have done the pf tek at some point in your life. Well just one pf cake is a bigger bust then this

Specific issues that may lead to discovery. Smells or nosey neighbors or landlords. Lots of issues to think about and sufficiently cover. But when you do it right there's really not too much to worry about. I think I have everything covered except for the unexpected. That would be like an earthquake or natural disaster that destroys part of the building and forces us to move out in a hurry. that could be a problem.

yeah but one pf cake doesnt smell, take up that much space, raise your energy bill, or really have any chance of being discovered at all. It makes sense the OP would be more sketched about growing weed than shrooms, despite legal ramifications

again, i'll say, if no one knows what you're doing there is nothing to be paranoid over. It's really not that hard to do. Obviously if you live in an apartment or are renting your place you're taking a risk. But if you're willing to take that risk in the first place you just need to suck it up and tell yourself, everything is going to be ok.
Just plan out your grow, do some "dry runs" to check for light leaks, try to buy all of your supplies locally instead of ordering over the internet, set up a proper intake/exhaust for your grow area to minimize smell, don't grow beyond your limits, and most importantly KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. Loose lips sink ships and land your ass in jail. As much as you want to show off your pride and joy, its the easiest way to get yourself busted. Because that one friend you trust will tell one friend they trust and pretty soon the entire pot smoking community of your town knows you have some plants in your closet.

True but it kind of depends really. When growing for your self the power thing really doesn't come into it. Smell from a few plants really isn't to hard to get rid of. What it really boils down to is "Loose Lips Sink Ships" I believe that is how it goes.
But yeah the bud is easier to find if not smart about it. 
and I use to have power bills over $1100 a month and you know what the power co said to me, not a damn thing.
In fact in Cali the power co went public and said they won't turn over records without a warrent. The cops got pissed and started using trucks and cars that look like the power co's and they got sued by the power co (PG&E) and can't do that now.
The power co in Cali also has a program if you take your med script and say you grow your own meds you get a lower rate. Cali rules

I wouldn't worry about power issues unless you are stealing it. AThe power company sells power. So why would they turn you in for purchasing more of their product? So it all goes back to loose lips and smell

Then again, only the active compounds in the mushrooms are illegal, not the mushrooms themselves. Since mycelium doesn't contain these chemicals you could probably beat the case. But  don't let it be known.

I think just the myce will get you busted as well. the spores wont but once they are germinated and start forming mycelium the law constitutes this as production of a controlled substance. I'm pretty sure that's accurate but someone correct me if im wrong.

I've read that mycelium has psilocybin as well. I've even read trip reports off of mycelium.

That would be awesome
Good, clean cultures that are legal, organized, and ready for your personal investigation
I imagine there would be great amounts of cloned material for

i follow all the rules in my county. Here in Cali. they give you a number of immature/mature plants you can have and you follow the rules and there is no problems USUALLY! Some areas are more forgiving too. Oakland made a rule that "as far as Oakland p.d. is concerned marijuana is already one of the LEAST important things to be dealing with."(heard that at a measure Z meeting) And i think Berkeley just got UN-limited plants. So the laws and the medical recommendation my doctor gave me take away the paranoia. You shouldn't be afraid to make medicine unless you live in one of the MJ HATER states. Then im sorry.
--------------------
All of the statements and posts I make or have made are fake. I just found all the pictures and copied and pasted them here. I am in no way associated with any of the materials discussed here. I'm just bored, and lame.

Having a gram of pot here in Louisiana will get you into more trouble than growing a few plants in California. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
And mycelium does contain psilocybin.

In regards to paranoia, like all others said, tell no one (but my brother, who will tell no one), maintain a very normal life. I live in suburbia among all the 30 somethings with 2 kids and I cut my grass, the real stuff, outside, drive on my street slowly watching for their kids, wave to them, chat with them outside, make sure there are no light leaks, smell leaks that could ruin me, I made sure I bought my house with ONE neighbour and no close sidewalk at the side of the house, now you got serious venting options.
The power issue: You should only care about your own cost. I ran a business that needed "automated" computers running 24/7. I ran it for 3 years and at times had my basement looking like a "computer grow up" with 24-30 machines running, my guitar amp and FX board, left on, my stereo left on, my upstairs with my wife and I living a normal electric use life as well...can you imagine the power at that time? I know it because I paid the bills. It spiked as well, 4 months after we moved in, we added 24 computers one day and turned them on, plus the switches, the monitors, power bars, UPS systems, it was a huge jump. At the time, I grew no pot of course.
No one visited. No one called. I use much much less growing not only pot, but all sorts of indoor stuff, all needing lights, strawberries, starter plants for spring, christmas trees etc. Unless you move into a house and are large scale "grow-op" project...I would not worry again, except your own cost, and given the price of weed these days, if you actually care about the cost, it is never as much as not growing imho.
I am more paranoid about personally smelling like weed when out with friends/family who do not smoke it or know I do, than ever getting caught.
Also, I am in Canada. But I would have the exact same attitude in the USA if I lived there. Even more so in USA.
We should ask a better question:
Who has been busted because of their power use and what were the details of how many plants, power use totals etc. Who has gotten caught by neighbours because of smell or exhaust, light leaks?

That sounds ideal. Would you ever consider doing it in a heavily populated area such as new york? Where hundreds of neighbors are next to you only separated by a wall? Or best case scenario you get a corner unit and are about 10 feet away from the next building or sidewalk.

In New York? I would never live there or any overpopulated urban center. I would need to grow and smoke twice as much weed to deal with the bullshit.
But I do live in "suburbia" with a very busy street next to me, but again...it is Canada.
