ive been reading up on some of the tec's for growing pans.. and they all call for perlite in the mix.. but anything ive ever read about cubes they say thats a big mistake.. i know there 2 diff types of mushrooms.. but if perlite increases chances of contams in cubes, why dosent it effect the pans?? sorry if this is a dumb question.. i just cant figure it out.. thanks in advance for any info..
oh ya.. if anyone that has had sucessfull grows w/ pans.. could you plz post a link to the tec so i could take a look at it.. thanks
l8r, will

And for the record. . .Perlite does not increase the chance of contaminants with cubes. RR

i was reading this in the FAQ's http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/26504
" What is the best substrate to use for Panaeolus cyanescens? Cow manure is the best single ingredient substrate for all the Copelandias. There is nothing better for resistance to contamination, yield, and ability to achieve yield in shallow substrate layers. Rye grain & bird seed both yield extremely small mature mushrooms. If you can find cow manure USE IT.
by teonan
There are many formulas that work. Do you have access to cow or horse fields? If not just buy some dehydrated manure from a gardening supply store or your local Home depot or Kmart. I use: 1 cup manure(From a Field) 1/4 cup rye grass seed (Kmart) 1/4 cup perlite( home depot) Water content to field capacity. Not to wet not to dry. This quantity depends on the moisture contents of your manure. There are other formulas around, some even include quantity of water to add.

teonan was an excellent cultivator and had some great pan grows, but i disagree with his method. I believe there are other ways out there that have been designed since then which make things a lot easier regarding pans.
Blue Helix's grow is a great example of this, his method decreases the likelihood of a contam by removing the spawning step.
Also keep in mind you can pretty much treat a pan spawn just like a cubensis spawn. Colonize grain 100%, spawn to poo in SHALLOW pan of a depth no more then 2 inches, let colonize, case and colonize, and fruit.
