Dark and poo, revisiting old news

My wife and I are having fun with all of this. We laugh a lot. She has done shrooms, once in the 80's and the second time in '98. I told her I am researching recipes--somehow incorporating our Keurig machine--for tea, our first trip together. I said things have come a long way since '98. The shrooms she ate (ate? ATE???, are you kidding me??) probably came out of cow poo. We laughed, but that got me thinking. How far has the technology come? Does anyone have any comparisons between poo and say, coir? Straw? Without comparisons, who really knows? I'm data enhanced.
Second, I've had six jars on the fridge, and six in the cabinet above the fridge. I've not seen, in this limited number, any difference between those growing in the dark, and those with dim lighting, provided by the ceiling florescents and a window at the far end of the kitchen. Pretty much evenly growing. Is it definitive that light matters much to these dudes? I've seen people putting them on shelves where they would not get enough light to allow me to read. What possible good are they getting from "light?"
I'm interested in this because I have had a reef tank and now a planted aquarium. Light matters here a great deal! None of my plants are plastic. And reef tanks with coral require a huge amount of light. I have a clip-on light I used in an old tank with a compact florescent 6500K daylight bulb. My SGFC gets good indirect light, but would it do better with more?
I submit shrooms don't care about light, or darkness for that matter. Let the games begin.
1. Poo is still superior
2. Mushrooms require X amount of light in all stages?
(A punch in the face for the first person who suggests using the Search function.)
What say you?

I've put fresh ground up sclerotia and dry shrooms (many different attempts) in tea (and coffee), in a reusable kcup. I've also soaked ground up sclerotia in lime juice before placing it amongst tea and then in the keurig. I think the amount of time water is moving through isn't enough to extract all the goodies but it works alright to get a microdose which is what I'm usually after. It works better to hit 4ozs like 4 times instead of using a setting for the full size of your mug. For really good tea I boil them for 15 minutes or so after a lemon or lime juice soak, throw in some ginger slices towards the end. There are lots of ways whip a pony though.
I've never used poo in a bulk for cubes cause coir's so fucking easy and works great. A lot of folks say poo gives you more potent fruits though.
As far as the light thing goes, for colonization I don't think it matters. For fruiting it does, you'll get more fruits with light, and shortly after pinning the shrooms go into a phototropic growth phase and grow towards the light.
