You can rehydrate it after it is sterilized. Get some 3% hydrogen peroxide and some spring/distilled water. Mix 1/3 peroxide and 2/3 water. Shake it up good and then rehydrate your substrate with it. The purpose of the peroxide is to help keep down contams while rehydrating. It will not harm the mycellium. Good luck!

This is true, but it will kill any spores that come into contact with it.

My foaf has pasturized / semi/sterilized LOTS of dung/straw anr/or compost in a plain turkey pan, in the oven.
Just use a meat themometer inserted into the stuff, to make sure the temp is right & maintained for however long you want.
If you lose a lot of moisture (?), rehydrate under quasi/clean conditions, with pre/boiled water ( allowed to cool & add peroxide if you want).
Once substrate is cooled to room temp, throw substrate in a clean tray & add spawn (if cakes, use cheese grater, or food processor to grind them up, if WBS, just dig it out & spoon it in).
Be super clean about everything & you should do fine.

You are wasting your time IMHO.
Spores, straight to a bulk substrate seldom -- if ever......works. You need to innoc several PF style cakes, or do WBS ............ then when those are 100% colonized..........spawn that into a bulk substrate.

the bags are only going to contain the equal of 6 pf tek 1/2 pint jars and im going to inoculate them with 3 cc's of spore solution so its not that big of a bulk.
