safely using poo
    #14348741 - 04/25/11 11:52 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

i know how much better it is to use poo when spawning to bulk, and how much it increases the yield. my only problem is the thought that i'm growing mushrooms on poo, and sometimes the mushrooms can fall, or get material on their caps. is there any way to use poo without getting it on my shrooms. mainly i'm just afraid i'm going to eat poo. i was thinking compost with poo, any thoughts?

also if i use a still air box for a G2G what are the chances of infection? i don't have a flowhood or a HEPA filter

i do g2g's open air all the time and it's never a problem. Some advise against this, but i'm lazy, got nothin' to lose, and it works for me. sanitize the area, spray some oust. don't breath on it and work quickly.

poo is the gold standard, but you can use coir with additives to achieve very similar results. you probably wouldnt even be able to notice the difference. Compost works well, the stuff from high mountain compost is said to work very well, although it is expensive.

the "what yields better, coir or poo?"-thing has been discussed many times.

i think the average opinion is that they are equal.


when you grow on poo and harvest, just dry your shrooms and clean them with a soft tooth brush.

if done properly, there will be no manure left.


working in front of a hepa is the best you can do to provide contams.

using a glovebox for g2g will work too.

clean it with warm soapy water and wait 10-15 minutes for the particles in the air to settle down before you start working.

so coir would work as well? i'm pretty confident that commercial grade compost with cow or horse poo would work and because its decomposed it wouldn't have the same risks that eating poo would have... or atleast thats what i would guess.

my first grow i used straw and a casing layer, which i think i screwed up. for my next grow i want to use composted poo and straw mixed... but i also didn't know i could use coir, i guess it comes down to this, which one is cheaper?



and i'll try some G2G and keep it really sterile and see how it goes with a few 1/2 pints

Coir is definately easier and in some instances cheaper to use. Add some gypsum and verm. Damion5050 has a bad ass coir tek out there. Check it out. Then decide.

Ever wonder where the phrase "shit eating grin" came from.
