I hard disagree with popcorn.  popcorn is dirty as hell compared to brown rice.  look at my recent posts and follow those directions for brown rice.  food grade brown rice is easy as hell to prep and from both a nutrient and grain size standpoint simply works better.

Not always just about looks but pay attention to behavior..^
See how the circled, is growing (flowing).. you can see the hyphae is organized engulfing the grain. Not disorganized / sporadic reaching or blotchy/creamy texture.

From the same link, yours looks similar in behavior to these

From a nutrient standpoint the decision is moot

it is not a hot take within the myco community that popcorn is a substandard spawn.  I'm a little surprised we're having this convo at all here tbh.

popcorn is a step or two up from uncle bens.

Moot point, you should be thoroughly washing your grain, and then sterilizing it.  All grains are the same amount of clean when washing and using proper PC technique.  Grain size also doesn’t really matter.

Rice in all of it’s forms is a pain in the ass to use, starchy, clumpy, and harder to dial in than widely available grains like birdseed.

If you like to use brown rice that’s fine, but it’s a less used grain for a reason.

You are talking to the myco community :lol:

My luke warm take is popcorn is superior to rice, but I wouldn’t use either.

if you're having trouble with rice you're prepping it wrong.  there's no soaking, no bullshit once its destarched.  boil it 9-10 minutes, cold rinse, drain thoroughly, jar, sterilize the jars, shake, cool, inoculate. 

brown rice has less inherent endospores (some say non due to the grains being housed in a husk), more nutrition, a smaller grain size, and it's cheaper.

if popcorn was a good grain spawn people wouldn't invent stupid shit like drippy corn to prop it up.

Again, endospores are not an issue if you are running your pc correctly.  Still a moot point.

People making drippy corn has nothing to do with whether or not popcorn works well as grain spawn.

bird shit is typically very acidic, like around 4 on the ph scale.  I wonder if it would work even if you neutralized it a bit...
