Calcium carbonate but it works slow. A little hydrated lime is fast but it contains magnesium which is bad so don't use much

I always had good results with just gypsum. I read that lime doesn't go into a bulk sub only the casing to inhibit contamination. It also slows down mycelium growth so I leave it out. Ph shouldn't be an issue with the bulk sub if your using the coir/verm bulk sub recipe correctly. Coir and verm moistened to a little dryer than field capacity so when to grab a handful and squeeze till you fart you should only have barely a drop coming out. It colonized much quicker this way making it less suseptible to contamination in the incubation period. I threw away 110 mini monotubs because of contamination before I finally figured it out.

Good luck and the KISS that applies to marijuana applies to shrooms I found too. Just keep it simple and clean. I managed to get 21grams dry off that first flush, I'm dunking now for a few hours and then let's see what I can get off the second and third flush.

Someone stole my work here and published a little e book using pictures I posted. I kept a library for a bit bit I no longer have the samples I had so the project died. I recently found someone had matched my efforts using calous based methods with some success but they don't seem to have managed decent rooting.

Yeah. I thought so. You are working too hard there. You aren't growing from the substrate but from the spawn. Why evem bother with 5 to 8 ratios. The amount of spawn you are using should be able to start like a quarter an acre of substrate surface.
I'm curious about an oat spawn. You do t find oats to get mushy?
