cow shit

So I got some fresh shit straight outta the cow. I had some spores left and decided to try some fresh shit.I injected 2 trays with spore solution, and placed a smaller 3rd tray without injection covered and in a warm place to colonize. I am using the 3rd smaller tray as a tester to see if any thing grows in the uninjected shit. If something grows in it then the shit was bad to start. I did not sterilize the shit cause I figured shrooms grow in the wild so y not give it a shot, it was leftover solution anyway. Any one ever grow on unsterilized shit???? What do u think my chances r of not having contams. I have had sucess with bird seed but figured I got access to fresh cow shit so y not try it.

chances for ya aren't good from what i have read about cow poo. did you mix in any straw or verm with it? cow poo is too wet and dense by itself, you may get lucky though. good luck peace

No I didn't add any straw or verm the shit was moist to the consistancy needed. Cow shit has starw in it naturally(its cow shit, they eat straw). All cow shit is is compost. I don't see y it wouldn't work theres plenty of nutrients in there. There was nothing else growin in or around the shit and its fresh within the past 2 days

Yeah but a cow has 4 stomachs whereas a horse has 1. The straw is digested to the point of being what i have scientifically dubbed "gooey pooey." Sure it has plenty of nutes but it isnt airy enough for the mycelium to colonize fast. Slow mych = higher risk of contam, especially with poo. Did you even pasturize it?

the barn the shit was located in is extreamly dry the crap was already dried up some. I broke it up by hand to about the texture of topsoil. was very light and fluffy I put a fine mist ot fresh water over all of it before covering. Again I sterilized nothing. This is just an experiment for me. also have bird seed jars goin have had success with them befor.

I realize you didnt sterilize anything but i was wondering if you pasturized it. Im guessing not but theres no telling what would grow on it, if anything.
People grow on unsterilized shit all the time...but its horse shit and its usually pasturized.
I understand it is just an experiment but by reading more and spending about $5 you could actually be successful

Wow...one noob criticizing another....First off, YOU DONT STERILIZE POO, YOU PASTURIZE IT. Second, its very unlikely some random ass strain would actually fruit on it, most likely it would just mold.
What you said about reading is the only good advice in your post. PLEASE dont try to give people advice yet because it could potentially be dangerous. By all means keep reading but only use this forum if u have a legit question. Thanks

LMFAO!
What a waste of spores.
The only way mushrooms grow naturally on cow shit is if the shit is well leeched (rained on, several times), ridding it of all impurities and digestive chemicals.
Really, you should read before doing stupid things with your spores.
