Sorry, I didn't follow the conversation but I suddenly got this massive erection. Are you guys talking about oats by any chance?

I just bought 20 shoe boxes to switch from 66qrts from Rums advice to start smaller. I guess I'll try to s2b these jars and switch to Wbs for my next spawn run. Idk if it's even worth s2b but I guess I'm going to have to get enough agar ready to start over anyways.

Any grain you can get is the best kind to use. Prep some small batches using various methods and set them aside for week or so. If you see contamination in the unused jars, wash it better and PC it longer on the next try. You'll find the sweet spot of method/effort/results for whatever you have available. Oats will probably make you work for it, I don't recommend no/low prep methods for oats.

I see varying ingredients in WBS. A common mix I see if milo, millet, sunflower seeds and corn. It seems like sunflower seeds wouldn't be that beneficial (maybe I'm wrong) and corn seems to get a bad rap. So, if you had the choice between WBS and 100% white millet, millet seems like a better option right?


All other things being equal like price and availability, yes to the millet only because the same size grains are easy to ensure proper hydration and prep. But there are so many good wbs prep that work fine for mixed ingredient bird seed that I wouldn't hesitate to use wbs if that was what was most readily available.

Damn I wish oats wasn't linked in like every tek if it's that bad. Now I feel like I'm at square 1 I have 30 pounds left at least and have 18 jars of it inoculated.


Which tek? Bods 15 year old tek?


The HHG mentioned them and it was the most available grain that could be prepped the way his wheat is. Naturally as someone who doesn't know any better that's what I got.

Screw it, I'm just doing millet. That no prep tek seems like the most no-brainer starting point.

Great, that's what I was thinking. Also, I finally found a place in driving distance that has millet for $25/50 lb, which was kind of hard to find. And that no prep tek was calling my name. :lol: I want it easy as possible.

Edit: I was going to do oats too before finding that no prep millet tek.

Your oats are fine, they can just be finicky to prep.  Didn’t mean to dump gas on the fire.

I’m just partial to WBS since it’s what I’m used to.  My buddy uses oats and I just don’t like the way they turn out.  That and oats give me wicked farts so when I see them I give em a bad look.

Your oats will work just fine if they are prepped well, and by the time you run that 30 lbs you should be on top of your prep or close to it.  You can always grab a small bag of WBS and see if you like it in the mean time, but you didn’t fuck up in any way by buying oats.

No, it was quite the opposite. Mom and pop store on a county road.

Hey Trippy - no one is saying that you can't use oats, not even SirPsycho (hush SP). Just that there are easier and more reliable teks to follow now. Use the jars that you have prepped and get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to save the rest. Try some of the more current recommendations and see what you like best. You can always go back to the oats to compare when you have more experience and decide for yourself which is best. Or keep chugging along oats like I did.

I got lots of mush using oats before I tried other things and found them easier and more reliable. You can too, but it is kind of masochistic. But what you do in the privacy of your own home...

Nice find alligator. I pay $31 usd for 50lbs white millet at a local feed store.

Where do you guys source rye berries? There's a site I found (like top result for me on Google) that is 50lb for $34, but shipping is another like $35. Idk if that is within the realm of acceptable, or if I can do better.

Fwiw I'm almost done with my 50lb bag of oats which I could buy again, but I'm interested in rye.

My posts are long winded and dense.
Supplemented coir experiments< Currently ongoing spring 2026.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

Thank you all so much! I'll definitely try switching whatever is best and easy I'm all for. That was really an oh shit moment for me I have been using these for almost 2 months wondering why I can't make mushrooms. I'm sure I'm fucking up the prep somehow if it's hard. Also thank you for being kind and helpful!

I will use these Jars, put the rest of the oats in a sealed bucket til I'm not a noob and try small bags of WBS to find what is good. All great suggestions!
