Gypsum with Standard PF Tek.
    #14487352 - 05/20/11 11:06 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I was wondering what the measurements would be if you added gypsum, BRF, and Verm. If that's even a good idea?

Add gypsum at 3-5% to the volume of the ingredients dry then bring them to field capacity.

It's always a good idea to add gypsum to any mushroom substrate.  Gypsum makes available to the mycelium, calcium and sulfur.  Both are beneficial nutrients for mushrooms in all stages of mushroom growth.

It'd just make it healthier. Can't say that it'd be more contam-proof or would have more pins. Contamination resistance is up to your sterile technique and the strength of the genetics more than anything.

It's one of those things that's good to have. It's like if you take vitamins; you won't die without them, but you'll be a little healthier overall if you do.
