Miracle grow cactus soil works fine. I do pasteurize it.

I used that same cactus soil I think. I pasteurized it in my dehydrator as recommended somewhere in this thread. Since mine does go to 160°F I decided to give it a shot. I measured out a quart of cactus soil and sifted through it to break it up the best I could, then I hydrated it using distilled water and mixed it well. Then I squeezed out the excess water to field capacity and split it up into three quart-sized food storage bags. I closed the bags, but then cracked them open and placed them in the dehydrator. They needed at least two hours at temperature, so I just ran the dehydrator for four hours to be sure. When finished, I sealed up the bags until I was ready to use them.

I think my mistake was in patting it down too firmly, because the mycelium fully colonized it and it never pinned. I had a beautifully consolidated tub that just refused to pin. Yesterday morning, I noticed trich taking hold. Back to the drawing board.

I'm sorry for your loss, myco

I do swear for dry verm, heavy mist:

can't get more practical casing and cleaner harvest

Can't argue with those results. Nice flush.

5mmish or until I don't see surface mycelium

(Buck, instead of populating questions and wait, in hope for an answer... use the "Search this thread:" at the bottom of this page, chances are that the answer you're looking for is already here; very useful toll :yesnod:)

tree frog: just now I got to read the paper you shared, very nice, thank you for sharing! I'll leave it here for others:

Go with the flow: mechanisms driving water transport during vegetative growth and fruiting

Excerpt to spike curiosity; on the importance of misting/watering the casing:

"Mushroom cultures that are given the same amount of water, but with different watering regimes, do not differ in yield by more than 10%. Yet, yield is optimal when watering is applied at regular intervals, during colonisation of the casing and fructification. When watering is delayed, yield is reduced and the casing is covered with more mycelium. When no water is applied, still 2/3 of the yield is obtained compared with regular watering, indicating that the substrate stores a considerable water reserve that supplies mushrooms under development (
Flegg, 1975
). At any point in development, the amount of water given to the casing needs to be ∼50% of the wet weight of the fruiting bodies at that time, to keep the water level in casing constant. Watering of cultures results in higher moisture levels of the casing, top and middle compost layers (see
Fig. 3
). The yield is significantly higher in watered than in unwatered cultures, but this is only when harvesting after 3 weeks after filling, but not earlier. Fruiting bodies from watered cultures have significantly lower dry matter contents than unwatered cultures (
Kalberer, 1990b
)."

For a shoebox I used one cup of cactus soil that I added filtered water to and microwaved for 50 seconds. I have done it a few times with success. I don’t know if it ever pins if I don’t add the casing.


:whathesaid:

Although I'd make more effort to properly pasteurize, to get at least 5-6 months out of it..... but if it works it works.

I pasteurize my coir or cvg in a cooler overnight but if there is shortcut that works for me I’ll take it😊. For a few test gourmets, I have even been adding 70-75% water by weight to rye and throwing that in the pressure cooker with the sawdust bags bringing my laziness to a new level.

Thanks for the kind words guys :hug:

This thread rocks! :rockon:

On another note, we tripped on Semp with wifey this week. I gave her 0.5 and 40 minutes later another 0.25 - for a total of 0.75 grams.
She didn't have any visual, but had inkling of the stuff I tell her about (how the 5 senses are improved, how memories come back, how thinking is a bit different too).

We've enjoyed ourselves, had a great evening together (kids were away) and she's game to try again. We'll up her dose next time.
I think tripping together will deepen our relationship :yesnod:
