Re: Casing with Wormcasing - A quick question [Re: ]

Not sure, but I think worm casings is a nutritious substance. Never "CASE" with anything nutritious, so the top layer would be a great idea. Basically what you are doing is bulk with a casing layer. I know it is called "worm casings" but they are not for use as a casing. Anytime you place a nutritious layer of anything, anywhere, you invite contams. So since it is a bulk run, I would recommend mixing in the worm casing with your spawn, then casing that.
Hope this is helpful.

first of all it's worm CASTINGS, and he said he's casing with 50/50. My friend mixes casting 1/1 with coarse verm and pastuerizes by putting in a pillow case in a bucket and pouring on boiling water. This is hung outside to dry and spawned at about 1 half-pint per pound of verm/coir. dump into a rubbermade and colonizes in about 1 week depending on the air temp.

was that directed towarsd me? I know what a casing is. did I mis use the term somewhere. I though he understood you mix the wormcasing and PF jars together., then apply a casing layer on top to provide moisture.

Did we already cover the fact that if you use Wormcastings you are doing a bulk substrate inoc......... ?
Let it colonize and then you add a "CASING" layer of either peat or cocco coir verm mixtures .
Good Luck

Worm castings make an excellent substrate , you should add some verm to it , can even mix in some hay , it is PH balanced , full of nutes mushies love . :loveeyes:

Another quick question.

About how long will it take to start fruitng, uses 2 1/2 PF cakes in this situation. Does a deeper substrate mean a longer time to fruit.

thanks.
dan17511



Yes the deeper the sub the longer to colonize , then you have to wait for casing layer to colonize , so when it friuts all depends on how fast it colonizes . The deeper the sub also means more yeild ... the more nutes available always means more mushies , well at least thats the master plan , whether it happens or not is all up to the Mushroom Goddess

Send pics of the fully cooked nuts  :wink:
And to answer the question way back when about PCing castings , Cousin IT normally pcs his for 1 hour at 250*F 15 psi , this is sterilizing , some will say is more risky , but it works for Cousin IT .
Good Luck to all and To All Good Night

Yes that is an exellent example of pastuerization vs sterilization...

had puggy put his nuts in the microwave for 10 minutes it would kill off all the beneficial microrganisms in his spooge. By exposing his nuts too a few minutes of hot, boiled water he has effectively pastuerized his man seed while leaving the beneficial microrganisms alive to help keep down the contams.

Actually the boiling water is almost 60 F too hot for effective pasturization! The 210F would have killed most of the crabs, I mean benificial oganisms on my thong strap. (yes, men can where thongs:)) The problem with the microwave is that I can't get the door to close around the extra skin, i.e. it gets stuck in the latching mechanism.

My cat recently experimented with worm casTings and found that nuking a casserole dish full for 3-4 minutes brings it around to correct pasteurization temps (150-170 F).

Prior to that, my cat did a lot of research on this site about worm casTings. He found one guy who even used them unpasteurized with success. Apparently they are pretty good at resisting contams. Boiling/sterilizing them probably does more harm than good.

He found that most people recommended casTings as a substrate additive, usually with straw. Recommended ratio's varied from 20% to 50% casTings, with most settling somewhere in the middle of that.

A foaf recently spawned grain to casTings/straw for the first time. They're doing really good. Here's the link: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10823069 .

After more research he discovered that he probably should have made the top layer of sub casTings instead of grain spawn (RR warns putting spawn on top may invite contams). But they seem to be doing really well regardless.
