Experiment pressing substrate/spawn after mixing.
    #17342199 - 12/06/12 12:50 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

After spawning I read that some mushroom farms will press their substrate after spawning. I was curious so I tried it. Using a heavy book wrapped in cling film, the substrate was mixed with spawn in both a deep and shallow container.
Dam50/50's tek was used for the substrate but with less water and added lime to balance ph. Calculating the amount of water in my experience depends on your chamber and fruiting conditions.
I prefer not to use the bucket part of his tek since it isn't true pasteurization. Use RR's tek for that.

(6in of spwn/sub mix)-"One cup spawn per square foot of substrate"

This mug weighed over 1000g.



(2 1/2in of spwn/sub mix)-"Same ratio of mix 1cup->1sq ft"



End result. Few aborts, Smaller fruits but very thick and abundant in numbers.
