the oyster shell is just for extra nutrients, you can live without it.

I though the oyster shell was also to help level the ph of the casing. I think you can also use egg shells.

I would use just the vermiculite and sphagnum moss. Sand gets heavy and dense when it's wet and might present some difficulties when the mycelium is trying to poke through your casing layer. As for oyster shell providing extra nutrients...no, no it doesn't...it acts as a pH buffer. The casing layer is not designed to provide any extra nutrients as the substrate is already fully run with mycelium.

In the end, my friend, we will all be together again.

Yes, this is how I understand it too. Does anyone know how severely yeilds would be diminished if no buffer was used. Is it just an added bonus? Also, I can't seem to find in any teks exactly how much oyster shell to use proportionally... Thanks guys! :thumbup:

doesn't take much, like a tablespoon/casing, unless your doing some large bulk casings, then u might need a lil more

Don't use the sand.

Use the peat moss and verm...and add some lime to adjust the ph balance.
