whole graon you say? Gotcha.
do i have to compost the fresh poo for a few months or can i use it fresh and washing machine/pc it right off the bat? If i have to compost it, ill just do coir instead... again the hpoo was to save money as irs readily available. Im Almost over budget.., i have everything except substrate, maybe 50 bucks or so left... wanted to make sure i gotvallvmyvsupplies and i did.
No just dry it out, or get dry poo straight from the field.
Even if its fresh you have time for it to dry, you still need to do your agar work and colonize your grain.
Dont pc it, pasteurize it
You should come in under budget

They are a rip off.
The nice thing about this hobby is its dirt cheap, some jars, plastic totes, substrate/grains..
The only expensive item is a pressure cooker
^^^ All that!
Grow kits are people making money off of your nervousness. I sincerely recommend buying 1 pre-sterilized brf jar with self healing inoculation ports in the lid, and a syringe of spores. It's less then 40$ all and you get to watch the entire life cycle start-finish in an idiot proof contam free way. Once you have sterile environment mycelium, stretching it to make more is the easiest thing in the world. The main point I'm emphasizing here is gain knowledge and confidence with a grow you know will work. Plus you don't have to invest in a pressure cooker until you've grown 1 cycle and decided whether it's a hobby for you or not. 
We have been past this for a long time, reading is fundamental before you can answer a question

It doesn't need to be leeched unless it still smells like shit. You do not pc hpoo, you pasteurize it. You should know this because I told you already. Check back on my previous posts and I will explain in detail of how to pasteurize .
