Hydrated lime is also called slaked lime.

OK
Well it seems to me that basically what you're going to be using the lime for is to buffer the acidity of the casing layer. In this case, using coco coir, the pH is slightly acidic.

Your trying to find a product which has the potential to buffer the casing layer by making it more alkaline to neutral. However components like Magnesium are detrimental to the production of the mushrooms. What other chemicals are detrimental to the mushrooms?

Do mushrooms like completely neutral conditions or slightly alkaline or slightly acidic? Im thinking about adding a little extra lime on one casing and a little less on another and see which produces more fruits..however if someone knows the answer to that question I'll probably just skip it.. :smile:

Personally I think pH in casings has to do with Growing or Not Growing and, if growing, Contams or Not Contams. Though, my pesky bananafluyes' casings grows just fine with peat/verm, no contams, and peat is quite acidic.

If anybody has any questions about exactly what " lime -- limestone -- hydrated limestone -- agricultural limestone -- calcuim carbonate -- chalk -- dolomite " or any other rock is, LOOK HERE: http://imcg.wr.usgs.gov/dmmrt/

That is a very exact - dictionary of Mining, Mineral & Related Terms.

Oyster shells are comprised of calcuim carbonate. Same thing limestone is.

Most any plant nursery and/or garden item store anywhere will have bags of simple ground limestone (argricultural limestone).
