Mixing bulk substrates
    #11742691 - 12/30/09 01:29 PM (15 years, 21 days ago)

Living in a rural area i have access to an abundance of natural, free substrates for use in casings and tubs. So far i have only used weathered, pasteurized cow poo, which worked quite well for some spawned rice casings. What i am curious about is mixing together cow and horse poo and straw for some tubs. Based on grow logs i have seen, poo/straw mixes work well, but i have not seen any where multiple types of poo were used. Any thoughts on proportions or potential problems?

P.S. First post, so just let me say, Thank You Shroomery and Shroomerites for your wealth of invaluable information. P3@(& + 10^3

Cow or horse, should be just fine in any proportion. Exotic poo (llama, bison) I'd probably start with small experiments.

i have no 1st hand experience with poo nor do i want any, :calledajoke:

but by what ive read cow poo has a better texture and is more fiberous.

Reverse that. Horse poo is. Cow poo is denser.

Here's one of the times I've answered this very question. Read the last paragraph. Mix whatever you have.
