What are some unique substrates/spawn you've used?
    #18820755 - 09/09/13 08:48 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I still use grain and spawn to manure/coir, but due to having so many potential resources around the house and being on a really tight budget I've started to try out rather unorthadox substrates. What I'm using, if it works at all, I plan to spawn outside as I don't trust it enough not to contaminate in a mono, outside just seems to be more safe.

Both of these are using mycobags as I don't feel there's enough room in the jars to shake. The first I can't even fully remember what I put in there tbh, I haven't 'noced it up yet to find out whether it will be successfull or not and the second I'm preparing right now. The first was largely corn husks and cut up corn, but there were other things in there as well I just can't remember what. It looks a little dark and potentially oversaturated, but I plan to noc it up tonight so I'll keep you guys posted if anyone is interested.

The second is a mix of essentially cooking scraps (skins, small pieces of food, seeds, and some cut up grass). Right now I'm essentially cooking it to get the moisture content right and may even stick it in the dehydrator to dry it out proper (it's full of starches and sugars which need to be condensed). The end product should essentially be equivalent to a bunch of grain mixed with manure/straw. If it works like I'm anticipating the process of cooking/dehydrating and finally pressure cooking should be very similar to composting it all, yet much faster and without relying on nature so much. Not expecting it to or to not work honestly, but it'll be a fun expirament and I'm sure to learn something in the process. In my years I've learned with a good bit of chemistry/cooking knowledge you really can grow mushies out of about anything, I just haven't begun to test exotic substrates until now. If anything is successful and I can get the process down well enough to describe it I'll be sure to make some teks for you guys to follow. So otherwise just wondering if anyone else has done similar things, I know RR has grown mushies on all kinds of crazy things. Anyone else have anything unique out there?
