Not amazing.  I think the limit is the container.  Not enough pin square footage.

bulk substrate bottles ala muda or pasty style populating a mono gets more weight than traditional mono prep.

Recently got stock of gypsum :toast: with 5% kelp in it :ohwell:

My current bulk sub consists of:
500g coir
500g vermiculite
200g chicken manure (store bought, very diluted with other organic matter)
100g gypsum (5% kelp)
4.6l water

This is all I can share for now ...

This just looks like an interesting thread to be paying attention to :takingnotes:

I don't claim to know, but it would seem like there is more to it than just moisture. We all know that fruiting from grain just doesn't work that well in comparison.



Some might not agree when we talk about B.E...




Sure, but most of us aren't competing to produce the most biologically efficient grow. I think most folks are looking to hit a great balance of time and money invested for quality and quantity of output. It's too expensive and painful to do a big grow on grain compared to using something like coir (cheap) or manure (cheap or free) to bulk out your grow.

I don't discount that it provides lattice and architecture for mycelium. cased grain does well too if you can maintain adequate moisture

The reason deeper substrates support larger flushes and fruits is because larger substrates hold more moisture.  If you give proper moisture control to small substrates, they will perform well too.  It's all about water, as can be seen by the picture below of very large mushrooms on a very small substrate.  It's all about misting and fresh air, from initiation through harvest.

I think what RR failed to mention there is that it's about water getting to make that grain spawn reach potential.

there's no magic substrate that's making growers get more dry mushroom weight per 2/3 full"myco" quart of grain spawn.

bulk substrate IMO supplies water and helps with being a pinning platform.

Coir has nutrition for cubes anyway. and think about a straw substrate. that's even more nutritional than poo but you don't get subsequent flushes with straw or some magic substrate yield boost, it's harder to re-hydrate after flush one and it dumps all of its water into the first flush.




Architecture and water. Very noticeable with oysters-grain heavy bulks tend to produce lots of little dwarf-shrooms, whereas low spawn ratios in my experience produce a few mongo shrooms (Had a pearl oyster as big as my forearm once, cap was the size of a dinner plate from a half jar spawn/leftover bulk sub mix. Only one that ever grew from that particular bulk too).

I do think that using a wide mix of ingredients in the bulk sub would be more beneficial, much like a varied diet is with few exceptions a good idea for humans. I have no actual experimental data to back this up however, and I'm fairly certain that this forum has figured out "soylent"-like exploits in shroom nutrition by now. Varied bulk would be interesting to see how pinning changes.

Either way, I'm fairly certain that most of the nutrition comes from the grain spawn and the bulk sub does very little in that department.

For most edibles wood is king. For cubes i use pure coir when im being lazy. When not lazy 60% straw -40 coir mixed after the straw ground up into paste . spawn 1to 5 ratio gets 220 BE after three flushes.
With oyster i use to add horse bran to the wood with the prettiest colorful big clusters. But no one buys a three lb clusters.

You just got to sell to restarunts or break up those bulk oyster clusters :picdidnthappen: tump.

Lol, he probably means bran from the feed store, that's where I get it too.
I will add that with edibles, sawdust and bran gives out more BE and besides the better flushes and weight, the fruits are plumper, better tasting and have a longer shelf life which are both a major plus especially for oyster varieties.

The standard recipe of hardwood sawdust and 20% wheat bran is a classic and works great with almost any edible.
