Mushroom nutrients
    #26955662 - 09/26/20 07:13 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

So I recently got into homebrewing in addition to my mycology endeavors. I learned about smack packs that contain nutrients for.the yeasts growth. I have not been able to find much information on the nutrient supplements but I know there are nitrogen, phosphorus and other minerals well as sterols. I have read that some people add fruit.to their brews to supplement these nutrients. So what could I add to my substrate to supplement nutrients that are other wise unavailable. Could I just add the nutrient portion of the smack pack to receive the nutrients. They are both fungi after all. I have read about adding coffee but I am unsure of its nutritional content. I have also heard of wheat bran but I was looking cor something to really kick start it's growth.

For cubes, the nutrients that come from the grain spawn are more than enough to take them through the entire life cycle once spawned to bulk. Additional nutrients such as wheat bran are used some with some gourmet/medicinal species but aren't needed for cubes.

Are you talking about adding plant fertilizer? That will increase contams, a lot.

What Gan said is correct.

No and I dont believe that is the source of the nutrients in a yeast pack either because it is for human consumption and I dont think I would be drinking plant fertilizer. But I'm not a scientist so I dont know whats in the nutrient pack or what brewing yeasts need or what blue oyster need for that matter.

Wait... are you cultivating cubes? Or a gourmet species like oysters?

I read one person said they added bee pollen, but that was for liquid culture, not for sub.
