Horse Poo stalled and got smelly
    #27453274 - 09/02/21 07:16 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ive been having trouble with some horse poo and need the community's help.  Out of 4 tubs, only 2 are colonizing (very rapidly) but 2 stalled and got a really sour/shitty smell after 4 days. 

Attached are some pics.  I can not figure out what I am doing wrong as I have been using the same substrate recipe for over 2 years but only started having trouble with it in the past 6 months.  I even started buying my horse poo online rather than using the local horse farm up the street that has a GIGANTIC pile of horse poo sitting in the sun and rain.  This is frustrating and driving me crazy.  Any help would be great.

It’s better to upload the pic to the shroomery.. you’ll get more views. 

Have you changed anything… pasteurizing method.. grain spawn prep, etc?

Poo can be tricky with bacteria.. have you considered coir?  I use to do hpoo and had similar problems and then switched to coir and they went away.. coir is ridiculously easy to prep and unless you have really dirty spawn or really shitty coir, almost fool proof.  I definitely got slightly bigger fruits with hpoo, but the flush difference is pretty small compared to dealing with contaminated tubs all the time

Just updated the post.  I have not changed anything, I have my pasteurizing method typed up (as well as my WBS prep) and I have been following it for years.  It is the same method  I used all last summer when I would put a fully colonized rubbermaid with drainage holes outdoors with no lid and it would flush two to three times without any trouble.  Indoors, they would go to 5+ flushes till I would pull them to put a new tub in (and did not contaminate, just had new tubs ready).


I also started ordering horse poo online instead of using the farm up the road in hope maybe the farm poo was bad (cedar shavings or something along those lines).

My grain prep is the same and I have had 1 out of 10 jars have grains that didnt fully colonized (kind of smooched against the jar in front of the white mycelium, see example pic below) but it still smelled good but had enough jars that I would just toss those out or just put a casing layer right in the jar and let it fruit and it would fruit.

I tried just coir/verm and I would get trich during/after the first flush every time.  My horse poo recipe has 1 part coir to every 2 parts poo (as well as 1 part vermiculite to 2 parts poo).

Im just frustrated that I am having so much damn trouble with this when I never lost a tub before in the past. 

I ordered all new genetics thinking maybe my prints/syringes were bad even though my jars would fully colonize.  I am at a lost and I am wasting so much time (and a little bit of money now that I am buying horse poo) that I am getting pissy.
