Approximate amount of substrate and casting for 1 half gallon jar of mycelium?
    #22342212 - 10/06/15 07:01 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hello everyone!

So I have a nooby question. Fairly sure I'll be told to "do some more research", be assured I have. Maybe I was born with a missing chromosome, hell maybe an extra!

I have boughten a culture of mycelium from the a reputable source (MYG Tech) and am having a hard time calculating what amounts of substrate and casing I will be needing for 1 half gallon/1.89L jar of mycelium (Stropharia Cubensis Cuban) grown on rye berries. I would like to push it as far as I can without stretching it to thin, with that in mind how large of a chamber should I use? I choose to ask Shroomery before my source because I feel an unbiased opinion is always the wiser.



Thank you!

Personally given you have no idea what kind of culture you have, how old it is, or even how well it was sterilized I wouldn't go more than a gallon of substrate myself.

To be honest I so know what strain, Stropharia Cubensis Cuban. The company I purchased them from was MYG Tech. Sorry I left that out. Thank you edit button. Anyways, do any of that make you change your mind?

Its cubes. You still have no idea how the culture is going to perform.

What is your preferred substrate mix if you don't mind me asking?

Depends. Usually coir and verm for the ease of prep. Its damn forgiving as well.
