Why pasturize the cow dung
    #23497783 - 08/01/16 07:46 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all. Just wondering why should the cow dung be pasturized either for spawn or substrate for copelandias.  They grow straight out of the dung in their natural enviroment

cause we ain't growing them in their natural environment. indoor lacks the conditions and biodiversity that keeps competitors at bay for mushrooms in nature.  so by pasteurizing, the goal is to eliminate the load of bad guys and keep as many of the beneficial/neutral guys in there to give the mycelium the best chance at colonizing the substrate without having to expend energy fighting off free loaders.

depending on poo sources, u wanna get rid of larva/eggs/flies, etc too.

Should we pasteurize cow manure before put them in pftek jars? Or just sterilize manure/brf/verm mix together in pressure cooker?

:whathesaid:

Sterilization will kill all living organisms if done properly; while pasteurization will kill most of the negative bacteria that thrives and leave the benifical organisms. Anything inoculation/spawn related should always be sterilized. Pasteurization is for substrates that are added to healthy spawn for fruiting stage prep.
