supplement sawdust with horse manure?
    #21005692 - 12/20/14 10:58 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

So I inoculated grains with Lentinula Edodes today. I sourced sawdust from a local sawmill for free. I realize that I need to supplement this sawdust, I've read that straw is a good supplement but what about pasteurized, field dried horse manure? It's free for me.

For L. edodes I wouldnt recommend manure. Try supplementing with wheat bran at about 20% dry weight ratio for Shiitake.

Thanks brother. I'll do either straw or wheat bran!

20% is pretty high for shiitaki, i would go lower, it can cause mutants if u supplement too much, depending on the strain.  maybe do a bag with 5%, 7%, and 10%, and see what happens.  don't forget the gypsum!
