Not sure what nutrients they are, but have heard "RR" say that coir is every bit as nutritious as poo, and poo is the natural habitat of cubensis. If this were true, then we wouldn't need additives with coir???
  I use additives personally.

humans could have an iron defieciency, potassium deficiency, vitamin a,b,c,d , deficiency and have all sorts of health problems. couldnt your mushies then have deficiencys and have all sorts of "health" problems as well ?

so what should we give our mushies to not allow these "health " problems.

There's a lot of ways to grow healthy mushrooms. They're more like pigs than people in that respect.

I'm not a zoologist. But pigs live on things that people can't eat.

Mushrooms grow well on a variety of substrates, that's all I'm saying.

Like RR said...your using your grain (or BRF) spawn (which is more nutritious then the bulk substrate just to spawn to the bulk substrate.The bulk substrate adds minerals and more moisture.

M H , RR was not saying brf is more or less nutritious, just that coir is highly nutritious (as much as poo) but we add the additives such as gypsum and verm as mineral supplements.
  Just wanted to clear that up, no pun intended my friend,
