It's been about 12 years since since a guy has tried this kind of project.
a friend blessed a guy with some grain spawn that is colonized. The original jars were multiplied in to what is documented below
varieties are Golden Teacher and Penis Envy.
Grain spawn is Rye berries.

A small update with some other jars A guy has colonizing,
A guy got frisky and did some half gallons. Why not right?
A guy sterilized coco in a drink cooler last night so a guy is going to use other colonized Jars to spawn that and try that out.
A guy also ordered 1000 Unicorn Bag XL gussets bags with .5 micron filter patch, since you can’t really find jars right now.



A guy also will be ordering one of these just to make spawning and g2g transfer as well as agar work a possibility.

Thanks for joining along.

They're friends.
a guy spawned 1 quart that had a little black contam started in it to a 10x20 nursery flat with coco fiber and a little soy bean meal. Probably didn't need to add any protein to the coco but a guy figured since everything's an experiment any ways that he would have some fun and try out what would happen.
First jars are 10 days in to colonizing and will be spawned at 14 days even if there's a little bit of uncolonized grain left.
A guy remembers spawning at anything over 85% colonized having generally solid luck in nursery flats.
He figures that the uncolonized grain from the spawn jar becomes food for the mycelium later as the grains get mixed in to the bulk substrate.

Yep, uncolonized grains are food for mold as it is any nutritious stuff you add to the coir besides vermiculite. Don't make it hard on yourself, it's as simple as waiting until the jars are 100% colonized and not throwing any stuff in the coir.

Does vermiculite have nutritive content?
Would adding the soy meal be any different than mixing coir with manure or straw?
Does coco coir need to be used by itself?
A guy would have waited till 100% , and plans to on the rest of the jars, just wanted to try to spawn one tray with a jar that was going down hill to a tray instead of just taking a 0.
Outdoor temperatures are between 80 and 40 so a guy is keeping the tray on the deck.
A guy has 0 attachment to the success of this or any tray or jar as these experiments are just for fun.

Another set of jars got g2g transferred by a guy and he shook them today.

Vermiculite is used to improve the consistency of a substrate and it also serves as a water reservoir. Vermiculite is a mineral and mycelium can utilize it but it's not really considered nutritious.
Coir can be used by itself and lots of people mix it with vermiculite too. It's a matter of preference and/or availability.
Adding that soy meal to the substrate sounds like an excellent way to set up a mold party. Straw and poo are pasteurized to make them contam resistant, but you can't pasteurize soy because it's going to mold out.
FYI, grains by themselves have all the nutrition mushrooms need and then some more. You don't need to be adding anything else, doing otherwise is asking for trouble.
I hope them guys with 0 attachments do good.

A guy will do the rest of them on straight coir.
That is what a guy has in excess availability to him.
FWIW - in horticulture, a guys day job, 100% coco coir is the preferred substrate. The coco Substrate has chips added and some long fibers mixed in with the pith.
A guy weighed these, they’re 1400g average weight and make 20L when fully expanded.
A guy also has access to smaller bricks of 100% pith.

It hurts my feelings even more than SWIM or AFOAF. The pain is almost physical. I hope it won't scar me much.

Well, I did some experiments on shaking the jars and it makes a huge difference to do the big jars twice.
So now that I saw what an improvement it made I shook the other jars to redistribute the mycelium again
My first round of quarts is almost 100% colonized.
The goal of all this is to try and get some done by Halloween.

Some other jars I have going.

Looking forward to my filter patch bags showing up!
