So as I elluded to in another thread... Im starting my very first mushroom grow this week. Got everything together, just gotta wait for a bit o "free" time to get going.
Anyway, Ive been doing alot of thinking about substrates. My thoughts is the basic purpose of a good substrate is to offer a sterile, yet nutritious and moist environment for the mycelium to grow. I have a dozen jars, so my plan is to do 6 of them with the standard verm and brf pf tek method. since im not selling these shrooms and I have pleny of spore, Im gonna experiment with the other 6 jars. So heres some Ideas I have for other substrates than brf that I have around the house: Brown sugar (may not work because of solubility in water but IDK), oatmeal, barley, bone meal, corn meal, bread... I dont knowIm just kicking around some Ideas, nothing really to lose.
Any other Ideas, please feel free to throw my way! also feel free to shoot down any of my Ideas, I dont know what Im doing, just wanting to play god a little BWAHAHAHA
