WBS Flour instead of BRF
#2677533 - 05/14/04 11:02 AM (19 years, 8 months ago) |

Lots of people have trouble finding BRF flour so here is what works very well and in my opinion better then BRF. Take WBS "wild bird Food" place in blender and make a flour out of it make just like regular pf tek. Here are the results 11 days old 1 pint jar.

That jar is a pint and only 11 days old?
From multispore? Or karo/honey?

This was a karo inoc so you can add a few days to that time for germination. The mycelium really rips through this and if little chunks are left in your wbs flour it is fine. Also i did not use my pc for this experiment just used a steamer. so no pc needed.

BLENDING WILD BIRD SEED NOW?? who would have thought, wouldnt that work better ANYWAYS??? wouldnt mycelium colonize that WAY faster than FULL GRAINS?.. that could be used in teks if so...

Not sure if its never been done before no tek needed cause all your doing is replacing brf for wbsf in the pf tek

Will this stuff work? Found it at Wal-Mart for $3 for a 10lb bag. I don't see any addatives or anything listed on the bag.




And the final product

That looks like some good stuff. The stuff in the experiment was from walmart brand Penningtons wild bood food and has bird-kote coating" vitamins and stuff" penningtons is my favorite wbs. That looks like a nice flour you made. Why dont you write up a pictorial tek as you go along for this project ?

I was looking for thet Pennington stuff but they didn't have it at my walmart. You can gaurentee many more pics form me since I just recently got a digi cam and like to whore up the pics. I won't be using this stuff quite yet unless I go buy some more jars since all 12 of my jars are currently incubating with some verm/brf. If any of those jars fuck up or when they are done I will use this next. I almost bought 12 more jars today but figured I don't want too many jars going at once or I would have to build a HUGE terrarium.

Wow 11 days is awsome! Do you think its so fast because it isn't quite as powdery as BRF so the myc can sourround the particles of WBS and move on faster? If so, someone should try diffrent levels of chunkyness and see how that works!

Becarefull with differnt levels of chunks if you are not using pc. Remember that jar at day 11 recieved a karo inject for that 1pint jar so in reality that would be day 14 for germination.

Well I got bored and went out and bought a dozen more jars. I will cook them up right now and innoc tomorrow and see how they compare to the ones I did today in brf. Check this thread for updates.

Very nice just remember when add the wbsf that it is not as fine powder as brf so adjust accordingly cause the masses are differnt. And take some pics and quantity of wbsf used mark each jar lol dont you love how it turned over into your project Im a lazy bastard eww maybe start a grow log with it side by side brf ones hmmm..

I didn't adjust any measurements from the original PF Tek. Filled 6 jars with 3 cups verm, 1 1/2 cups wbs

Then added 1 1/2 cups water

Here are the filled jars

Filled to the bottom of the threads

Heres thow much substrate I had left

All stuffed into my little PC 
 I don't know if I should have crammed them in there like that but oh well, too late now. I will let them cook for 90 mins. On the first jar sI bought I got the taller, narrower ones and I could only fit 4 at a time. The ones I bought now are the wider ones but shorter so I could only fit 3 on the bottom but I had barely enough room to stack them so we'll see how that goes.

I think it should be depends on how much whole grains were left in the blendind process. you sure that it was 75 minutes in what did you smell the pot burning ?

It was basically all powder. I don't think there was a single grain in there. I stopped hearing the rattle of the weight so I figured the water was empty. There was only 15 mins left on the timer I set so it was in there for 75 mmins after it started to rattle. I noticed a faint smell but I caught it right away.

one last question, though it may seem silly, befor i begin my jars.
should i grind up the wbs wet or dry? sounds silly but i just cant decide which would be better.

FallenShrooms, good going on the experiment. I gave this a bash a while back and my view is that ground up millet would be better if it were hulled. The hulls add worthless matter (non-food) to the substrate (cakes) -- as seen when one compares BRF to ground up whole millet seed.
Whole grain millet flour. I also noted btw, when I weighed whole grain millet flour in a compare to BRF, the BRF has more weight to the volume.
I also found they took longer to colonise than BRF cakes, as the hull matter didn't "bridge" the mycelium swiftly across the substrate, since it's a "non-food". Good to see though, that you're getting faster action your way. Strain Golden Teacher, spores injected.
  I chose to case six of them, incubate and patch.
I found however that the lack of food saw to small fruits.
 If I were to do it again, I would use hulled millet ground up as "flour". For what it's worth, my observations on exhausted whole grain millet casings is that the hulls are still evident. The mycelium doesn't "consume" them as they have little, if any, food value.

Hey Starter, thanks for sharing your results and nice pinset on that casing. Ive seen so far very fast colonization mycelium just ripped through this with the wbsf may be due to alot of factors it is just about all food. I will see how it fruits in time coming, i feel this is a great alterative to brf as seems some people have hard time finding it.

>>>Ive seen so far very fast colonization mycelium just ripped through this with the wbsf may be due to alot of factors it is just about all food.
I started them with spores, a liquid inoculant (as you used) would have been faster.
What I did notice is zones in the cakes struggling to colonise, like there wasn't much food to be had i.e. more hulls than internal kernal particles. The desired item, the internal material of millet, is high in protein and more importantly carbs, they stick with ease to the moist vermiculite making it easy for mycelium to bridge/reach through the substrate.
I know Hanky has experimented with hulled millet flour and mixes of it too to BRF in cake experiments, he's had sterling results.
>>>I will see how it fruits in time coming, i feel this is a great alterative to brf as seems some people have hard time finding it.
Very true.
In addition, I've found (as have local people) that millet mushrooms are more potent than BRF (just mine and their take on it). It certainly wouldn't harm folks to give millet a go to their PF cakes.
Happy to see you're running such experiments.

looks like we were both thinking about this around the same time.
WBS flour instead of BRF?

I'd say BRF substitutes in PF cakes date back yonder '92 in their R&D by PF himself. After all, PF probably kicked off with ground up rye (since that's a grain that dates back in use to those 1976 Oss, OT & O.N. Oeric fellahs). From there, he probably tried ground millet, to ground whole grain brown rice...and felt that was the best, since it's readily available a.k.a BRF. Basically, anything cubensis can grow on, and will stick evenly, as a mix, to the vermiculite of the cake, will grow myc to full cake colonisation. Even the inert vermiculite is open to substitution for other inert media, like glass fiber.

UPDATE:
Checked my jars today. All the BRF jars I did all have about quarter size growth in them (5 dyas after innoculation) and the WBSF jars I did one day later are just srtrating to grow. Two of them have a couple pea sized areas. I will keep you updated...
