Wheat instead of Vermiculite.
    #15675959 - 01/16/12 10:31 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Hi guys, have some question for you ; )

ok lets see, i didnt found some vermiculite, every place's that i went was out of stock '' im living in montreal so it is full of snow around here'' . so i went to this Mushroom store '' they also grow shrooms and they look prety professional about it ''

They told me that i can use Wheat as a substrate instead of vermiculite, that the vermiculite is only to alow spore to move and colonize.  is it true ? i inoculated last friday .

verm also has minerals and stuff in it, its all around good for mycelium


but reasonably any grain can be used as spawn.

its just a moisture content thing

Grain is good for spawn.

Vermiculite has many uses for this hobby.

Why not just spawn colonized grain to coir? You can get some for around 12 bucks at a pet supply store.

Or just get some damn verm.

Good luck.

I am in New Brunswick and found verm at Halifax Seed. They have four cubic foot bags (113L) of medium grade verm for $29 at the Saint John location. Shipping might not be to bad to Quebec.

:confused:
1) vermiculite isn't a substrate, it's an additive. I uess you could call it a substrate in the rez-effect tek, but typically, it's not a substrate.
2)vermiculite doesn't do anything to allow spore to move and colonize(wtf?) you must have mis-understood what they were saying, or he fed you a line of shit.
3) you don't have to have vermiculite to grow mushrooms, but if you are doing pf tek you can't use anything else instead of vermiculite
