Water Sources i.e. Melted snow?
    #24035423 - 01/24/17 08:52 AM (7 years, 6 days ago)

Was wondering what the potential benefits would be in using precipitation (collected rain, snow) for wetting substrate. If fungi need trace minerals then would collecting precipitation be beneficial as compared to distilled or tap water?  I live in a state with clean water so excess minerals wouldn't be as much of a problem.

I am just a noob but doesn't the water get sterilized.  I've read teks of lake water being used.  I used my own well water.  I don't drink tap water and I don't want my mushies drinkin tap either

You may not tap but your mushrooms do.

Most bottled water is just tap water from a city that has lots of extra tap water

Nah, I don't like R/0 water,  the tap water here is actually not that bad, but I just can't imagine the chlorine is beneficial to the fungus,  maybe is helps as some sort of antibacterial. I don't know.  I am lucky to live on a property with a 100 year old 20' hand dug well, with an underground spring from Mount baker.  Just premium unfiltered water.  I do carbon filter it though
