Dude--you should do some research on the process if you want to see success with this hobby. You have five posts, so I take it you're not hanging around here that often. I don't know what your goal is, but if it's to get mushrooms so you can trip this weekend, then buy some; if it's to make money, then get a different hobby, if it's because you're genuinely fascinated with the fruit and want to know more about the process and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for all of it, then a little bit of research can get you a long way. It's really fulfilling in the end.

So I don't know where you got those bags, but I take it if you're still lost as to why it probably won't work to just throw your spawn into coir, then you didn't sterilize and inoculate them yourself. Go ask whoever gave you those bags why it won't work. Ask him/her what you should do with them. If you have coir, then you're close, but doing some research will get you far.

If you have 5 lb of spawn you can make alot of monos!! Look up cvg tek or a coir/verm tek

Normally coir is close to neutral in pH but you can test with litmus paper and add calcium carbonate (oyster shell, chalk) to adjust to around pH 7-8. You want slightly basic substrate to discourage bacterial growth. Supplementing with gypsum for extra calcium and something with more nutrients such as worm castings or composted equine dung is definitely reccomended. You simply rehydrate the coir in the PC and then pastuerize as you would any other sub. You can also save some of the brick to make a casing of pure coir, or as suggested above the 50/50 TEK of coir/verm.

There are a few TEKs on coir as a bulk substrate under general cultivation info on the homepage here. Check em out! :goodluck:
