Pretty sure I used it properly but it may have been a bit bacterial....

I'm guesstimating the total yield at 3oz once dry or 2.5oz .... 1jar yielded 20g dry previously but I'm only using ms so it's hard to to tell...

Did you spawn to a bulk substrate when you did that bucket? And if so how much spawn did you use?
I figured 8L of spawn would yield at least 4oz

But I've been wrong many times before

I tried using hay before but it triched up on me.....

I might try popcorn and hay to see if I get similar results.....hay is super nutritious so much so it contams quickly and that's why its recommended to avoid it but my concern was the popcorn wasn't nutritious enough for fruit body production but hay would provide enough for the production of fruit bodies...

I'll give it a shot

At a 1:1 ratio it should run fast enough to beat out any contaminate.

I wasnt thinking about hay as a nutritional substitute for the popcorn or I'd have made a hay tub instead of the coir/verm/worm castings... would have been cheaper then the 23 I spent on those ingredients.

I would be in serious trouble if I didn't pee for a few days....

its not literal piss. its a reaction from stress as bod said. high temps and bacterial/contaminated spawn is when i see them.

ive never ever seen metabolites and went 'oh good my substrates bladder is empty and everything is fine'.

I love this, may steal it later. Like people think their mushroom colony just got drunk and pissed itself.
