Vermiculate vs. Peatmoss
    #5254867 -

i'm a first time mushroom grower shopping for my supplies.  i've heard peat moss is a good substitiute for vermiculate... is this true?  if not, what are some good substitutes?  [i ordered a durable strain of psylocibe cubensis spores in a syringe, if that helps.]

Thanks :mushroom2:

peatmoss doesn't generally substitute vermiculite, but rather is used in conjunction in the 50/50+ casing mix. There really aren't any substitutions when it comes to making PF cakes. Make sure you check the garden stores near you. As well as the garden centers in all the big chain hardware stores like lowes and home depot. If all else fails you can just order some online.

do you have a pressure cooker? If you do id highly suggest skipping the PF tek and going straight to grains.
