No I haven't tried rye. Problem is it's pretty hard to get rye down here. The closest to rye I have ever gotten to is cracked rye. Popcorn is probably the easiest to get around here. Birdseeds and all, I probably have to go far to actually get a hold of.

Yes rye can be hard to find, even in the US..I do have to drive an hour each way twice everytime I want to pick up a 50 pound bag of rye for 27 bucks. My girlfriends out that way anyway so not such a big deal for me but still..its a hike. I've been stretching it by mixing in a bit of WBS (like 5 quarts for every 20 of rye) and a bit of verm (about the same as WBS) so I end up with like 30 quarts instead of 20 quarts but getting the nutrients out of rye not found in WBS.

Previously I thought I remembered hearing WBS was better then popcorn but I have yet to try popcorn (because I remembered it was worse then WBS)..perhaps I should try popcorn mixed with my rye instead of WBS if you say it works better when cased directly? Or is it just easier to get ahold of? And how many times have you tried both?

I'm not really sure which grains are better than which. I guess the only way to find out is by trying them out. I haven't gotten ahold of WBS yet so I can't do that, neither can I do rye. I'm hoping oneday I'll get to try them as my grain substrate though. Also planning on trying out agar real soon.

I'm back

WBS (wild bird seed ) can be gotten just about anywhere on this planet , drug stores , wal mart, k-mart, osco drugs , wal greens etc..............

I get mine at a feed and grain store that specializes in birds . can be bought in bulk any where from .49 cents a pound up to 1.00\lb .

Rye can be gotten at health food stores , home depot , lowes , and some feed and grain places carry it to .

Keep working with the pop corn for now , but consider grains , you will not be sorry if you do IMHO .

Not to be off the topic and all. But I was just wondering. Can you say wrap your casing mix in tin foil and place it in the PC to sterilize it?

Better to jar it , in foil you may have problems keeping moisture content right . That or bag it . Plus you would have to use it ASAP , in jars you can store it for weeks before using it .

I just PC-ed popcorn for 50 minutes, rinse drain, put in jars, PC again for an hour and bamba! good colonisation, but shake too much I hurt it got contam in casing as well... :frown:

many people who do it this way (no soak or simmer just PC) I got it from Sweden and I believe the homies there where doin it before folks at the shroomery..

You could always try a jar!

Personally I gotta think that not simmering in any case is bad advice. Simmering owns.

Mwah, my popcorn was more then moist enough, the hard fuckers get real moist after PC-ing it almost an hour dude :P

LOL if you are using towels they might be TO moist? :grin:

Btw our valued agar does not rcommend simmering in his WBS tek, dont know why though...
I did WBS today and, after soaking it 16 hours, I did not see an increase in volume after 15-20 minutes simmer.

Some growing dude here says that popcorn lacks things like certain vitamins what BRF for example DOES have.
Also stating that that can affect potency in a negative way.
