35 yrs .
never used gypsum once.

never saw any actual data gypsum does anything.
never saw gypsum in a cow field.
never saw a gypsum grow exceed a non gypsum grow.

i have no intention of introducing it to the lab even.
the dust value would be more of a reality than its mythical grow value.

IMO, its just not needed.

I soak with it, then boil in the soak water, then add more to the bulk sub.  I have only done it once to compare but my sub with the gypsum produced bigger fruits than a similar one with no gypsum made with same lc.

I just gtg using the previously posted pint jar to make 4 pint jars.  I will post pics tomorrow of hopefully some healthy recovering myc.  This is my first bulk experiment.  I have been reading, watching videos, reading every tek and thread I can on this forum since may.  It's safe to say I am straight up ate up with mycology. :grin:

Six Steps to Mushrooms Farming - Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences

"Gypsum is added to minimize the greasiness compost normally tends to have. Gypsum
increases the flocculation of certain chemicals in the compost, and they adhere to straw or
hay rather than filling the pores (holes) between the straws. A side benefit of this
phenomenon is that air can permeate the pile more readily, and air is essential to the
composting process. The exclusion of air results in an airless (anaerobic) environment in
which deleterious chemical compounds are formed which detract from the selectivity of
mushroom compost for growing mushrooms. Gypsum is added at the outset of
composting at 40 lb per ton of dry ingredients"

agaricus.

not my species.
still dont feel the need.

that papers is not exactly a gypsum data sheet,
its more like a report on PA agaricus farms.

interesting stuff on nitrates in that paper though.
if anything, confirms my use of ferts ( NPK)

Gypsum contains both calcium carbonate and sulfur, thus
it tends to keep the pH near neutral, preventing swings as the metabolites try to push the pH down.

Well I guess that I have the ability to settle this with an experiment I am doing already.  I have 4 brf cakes that don't have gypsum.  I also have 4 brf cakes that I used gypsum in that I inoculated 2 days ago.  I will post pics before birthing of each and dry weight harvested from each.  I also have several rye berry jars that I didn't use gypsum in.  I gtg transferred myc. from one of the jars to grains that have been soaked in gypsum.  I will post side by side results of each experiment.  I am interested to find out what happens.  Although I gotta admit I have faith in what rr says.

I like the idea of a side by side to see if there are any tangible benefits to using gypsum however, if you are inoculating those cakes with ms there is no control so your results will provide nothing conclusive.

I have some prints that I will be isolating coming in the mail.  I'll make sure to post what I learn.

Gypsum is often used for soil amelioration to increase flocculation in clay soils, as a fertilizer on wheat and alfalfa, and as an additive in animal feed.  Unfertilized alfalfa hay averages 1.54% calcium by dry weight, much of which is in the form of calcium sulfate.  It's often present in natural salt licks, and many animals have been known to travel miles to a lick with a higher amount of calcium, especially when that calcium was found in the more bioavailable version, calcium sulfate, rather than in a carbonate or limestone form.

For her to make the "never seen gypsum in a cow field" argument is just hypocritical.

she don't even use stuff that comes from a cow pasture.

She's being silly.
