Good work Anno . The lentils look awsome

I wish one with quinoa could have been done.

I was thinking the same thing  and what about rye grass seed ?
Also, i would be interested to see how "The Alien Tec" compared .

Finally decided to put the old 'which substrate is the best' to rest?
Next we'll have to test strains for the highest concentrations! 

*Claps*  Very good experiment Anno.  This one has been long needed.  Thank you!

After the harvest I will have a the mushrooms from the different substrates tested for psilocybin and psilocin with a liquid chromatography.

Did he not say that was going to happen? heh.

I added 3 more substrates to the experiment today: quinoa, rye grass seed and spelt.

The potato jar was prepared with grated potatoes and around 20% moist vermiculite by volume.

if you're still down for more substrates, try kamut

The complete nutritional analysis of kamut brand grain substantiates that it is higher in energy than other wheats. Compared to common wheat, it is higher in eight of nine minerals, such as magnesium and zinc. It has been found to contain much more of the natural antioxidant selenium and is 30% higher in the similarly important vitamin E. The grain also contains up to 65% more amino acids and boasts more lipids and fatty acids. The most striking superiority of kamut brand wheat is found in its protein level, up to 40% higher than the national average for wheat. Because of its higher percentage of lipids, which produce more energy in the body than carbohydrates, kamut brand wheat can be described as a "high energy grain."

here's another link illustrating why you might want to include my my pet grain...

full nutritional analysis of kamut alongside that of commercial wheat

not trying to be pushy, Anno, but you got me drooling for data! 

peace,

Here is my idea spelled out more basically, as of now is that if you supplement your substrate with the aforementioned product it will yield faster stronger longer growing substrate. The study I propose (if you understand what HYDROPONICS) is at all is to use a nutrient devoid substrate like marbels or gravel or whatever is cheap and add only water and chemicals to this substrate and grow shrooms for an indefenite length of time, because when ever neutrients runs low you would just add more liquid food and the myc would produce OVER AND OVER, also how could it become infected if there is no solid matter for competing organisms to take hold on and the LIQUID could have a antibiotic in it h2o2 for example. All in all i think my mix is getting pretty close because if i add it to a dying substrate it grows like MAGIC but i cant quite get it to go 100% HYDROPONIC with just water and the mix yet but again im getting close.
