Spawning PF Cakes to Cow Dung???
    #4917479 - 11/10/05 10:53 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

Spawning PF Cakes to Cow Dung???

Can this be done?? I live in a rural area where there are a lot of cows around.. I've picked tons of wild shrooms over the years... Good pastures are getting harder and harder to find not to mention the shortage of rain.. So could I spawn some PF Cakes to cow poo or would Horse poo be better.. Is there a tek for this??

yes. read the FAQ... pasturization is required for good results.

Horse or Cow will work

Un-chaining another law

The structures, the colors
Uniform chaos is alternating

H/poo (well weathered, aged & dry), hydrated, squeeze tested & pasteurized. Fully colonized cakes & sanitized CHEESE grater is all it takes. Suggest a very clean still air environment (bathroom works), along with normal precautions (clean clothes, hair cover, gloves & face mask).

Well I found this post

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/669310#Post669310

Does Cow Dung work the same as Horse Poo for this example?

The only thing this Tek doesnt mention is the amounts/ratios of Substrate, Spawn, and Casing.. Does anyone know the general rule.. I.E. Regular PF Casings (Not Poo) is 1 to 4 ratio of Casing to Substrate..

Cow manure doesn't hold a candle to dry - well weathered h/poo.

Spawn ratio is best at 20% to substrate.

You can get by with 10%, but you are better off - with 20.

Yes I'll think I'll go with horse poo, easy enough to get locally

So let me get this straight, please bear with me...

20% substrate (ground up cakes) in my case PF cakes since I'm not doing grain yet..

80% Horse poo

Once it colonizes then add casing mixture??

Is this OK?

Yes, but the more spawn you use, the faster things will go.

And remember, to mix your spawn very well and to pack the poo down a bit, make it tight. :wink:

"Once it colonizes then add casing mixture??"

Yes once its finshed , add your casing layer, but make SURE its finished.
