A Visual difference between Brown rice flour 1

This a visual difference between Brown Rice Flour, grinded by a machine and I bought and Brown Rice Flour from the shop.

You can see how much better the shops version is, I grinded the browner stuff with a electric coffice grinder on fine setting for x4 times, it doesn't even get close. Now from a article I read on mushrooms somewhere on the shroomery said that mycelium secreats a substance on the brown rice flour and then makes use of it, as a very basic way of saying it. So If its finer stuff in theroy the mycelium should be able to deal with it more efficently.

The reason Ive posted this is because every so often someone asks about grinding thier flour them selfs, so heres the difference basically. Just so it appears in the forum search as a reference to it.

I am sure both of them will work. The mixing in of the verm is a key step to the pf tek grow. You need to wet the verm and then sprinkle your brf on top a little at a time, mixing it in good.
Sprinkle, mix, sprinkle, mix.

You could really argue that point if you fixed up some PF jars and tried them both. You'd have to do multiple jars for each different type of rice flour to make a good argument. We know that both store bought and self ground BRF works in PF style jars, so you'd be arguing sheer efficiency.

yeah yeah both of them work fine. I use both , shops a little quicker, but that cannot be proven, or put down to texture of brf alone.

Ive used store bought brown rice flour and home ground flour using a blender. Ive not noticed a difference. First signs of growth, colinisation times, speed and fruiting performance have all been the same.
