Yes the factory chicken manure is scary stuff.  I wouldn't use it at all. I lived in NW Arkansas for a good while and there is a crazy high cancer rate there. Some linked to old orchards and the arsenic used as spray in the good old days (don't ever use apple/fruit wood chips or logs)  but a lot bc of the chickens. Good old farm chicken manure now thats a different story.  Rabbit manure should be great for nitrogen as well if you can find some.

Well things don't always look as they are and things can be misread and mistaken for what they realy are so don't read too much into what I say since I might be mistaken myself. And remember I rarely ever give a definate answer.

Trout, that's an awesome-sounding technique.  So, anonjon & sublicious, why only 25% straw?  Contam issues?  'Cause when I used 3/4 straw & 1/4 cow dung I got almost 16oz dry from a 24" x 20" x 7" box, which seemed like an absurdly huge 1st flush to me.  But, as I said, it trich'd before the second flush could get anywhere.

BTW, I'm gonna try a few variations and post the results in a few weeks.

Who needs a second flush with results like that.  One hit wonder and in goes another.  In my book this is better if you can get the yield your looking for.

thanks for all the informative replies in this thread, I really want to try some of the suggested combos. I am rather intrigued by using the chicken poop as a nitrogen booster. I used to do such things with horticulture and I never really considered it for mushroom use. Trying to absorb all this info like a sponge!
