field capacity pasteurization issues and questions.
    #12594214 - 05/19/10 07:23 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

I have been pasteurizing a lot of horse manure mixtures in the last few weeks. I have noticed that when adding water to my substrate up to field capacity it makes it difficult for the mycelium to colonize the substrate at a high speed. I have noticed that the trays I made that colonized the best were the ones in which the substrate had a fluffy consistency and when i squeezed the hydrated substrate(as hard as possible) only one drop of water came out. I have also experimented with adding perlite to my bulk sub mixture and have found that it better aerates the substrate and allows for the mycelium to travel faster through the substrate. Has anyone else tried adding perlite? Is there any reason that I should not use perlite in the bulk substrate mixture? The reason I ask is because I have never seen anyone on Shroomery do it before. Also can I re-pasteurize jars of bulk substrate that I made 2 weeks ago and have not used yet? A response would be much appreciated.

Thank you
UKShroomer
