Horse dung smells less that cow dung if you are using this indoors.

Horse is da SHIT !!!!!!!!!!! Find some stables in your town and ask for some of the older dry stuff.. tell them it`s for your roses or garden. Few road apples goes a long ways Fruits are enormous!

You want the dung to be nice and dry. Make sure to get some that has lots of white stuff on it. This is actinomyces and serves to keep other contams at bay while providing an extra food source for your shrooms. This is how I use horse dung... First crumble it into a large pillow case until you have the desired amount. Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Reduce the heat and submerge the dung. Be careful because you will have water trying to boil up the sides of the bag and you may get burned. keep the pot at a very low boil for an hour to an hour and a half. Let it cool. Hang the bag so it will drain. I have a special broom handle setup on two sawhorses for exactly this purpose. let it drain for about 6 hours. Wash your hands and reach in and grab a fistfull of the dung and squeeze it. If you can just get a bit of water out of it then the moisture is perfect. I line a 45 liter container with tinfoil and dump in the dung to a depth of about 2". To each of these containers I add 5 or 6 crumbled half pints of grain. BRF works fine as spawn. I haven't noticed any real benefit to using whole grains except that they are harder to get fully colonized for newbies. Hope this helps. I prefer to answer these kind of questions in the forums so that more folks can get the benefit and I don't have to keep typing the same thing LOL
