Mushroom Compost / Manure

"It is a blend of horse manure and fresh mushroom compost that is milled and composted to produce the same rich, manure that provides all the major plant nutrients and trace elements for bumper plant growth throughout the garden.
As a soil conditioner it improves the structure of both sandy and clay soils providing a reservoir of plant foods for long trem feeding and home to millions of vital micro-organisms."
Hi, Havn't been doing many mycological studies recently but im just getting back into the hobby, problem is I don't have a good source of poo but I have got a nice cheap source of the stuff mentioned above. I have a few questions if anyone would be so kind as to answer.
Anyone have any experience using this stuff for cubes? I've read that the mushroom compost will have a low nitrogen content (due to having had mushrooms grown on it before), but will the addition of the manure bring it back up? Could I even add some blood meal perhaps as per blackout's experiments in an attempt to raise the nitrogen content further? I'll probably be doing some experiments with it but it depends on what people on here think, any ideas/suggestions?

Ye, that's the stuff, but this stuff is mixed with horse manure and yes, it is bagged. I was thinking about maybe adding some blood meal to raise nitrogen, if the horse poo isn't enough, any thoughts?

>>mushroom compost<<
Is spent mushroom substrate.
"spent" means the goodies are gone, mushrooms need to grow.
Even if h/poo is added & it is re-composted.
Straight weathered h/poo would be far better.

Ye, I thought that might be the case, had to ask though cus I'm finding it hard to source some good poo round this time of year. Thanks for the input.
