A noob needs help
    #5354908 - 03/01/06 08:21 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hello, i cased birdseed with peat moss and vermiculite ...no lime flour or hydrated lime to buffer the Ph though.

my casings did alright...6/8s each flush total...

the only problem is that the mushrooms only grew around the EDGE of the casing...no mushrooms in the middle...is this because my Ph was off? or is it because of the tray i used (one of those trays that you put in the oven)...


if Ph is the problem, how do i test the Ph? do i use Ph indicator strips? cant you only use those in water?

also, if i plan on using straw and birdseed do i need anything to maintain temperature, i read somewhere that straw produces a lot of heat and does not require a heat source.

if i use straw and birdseed with a 50/50+ casing layer, is this good for bulk yields? or should i put some poo in there...how much of a difference would it make?


Please reply

answer as many questions as you can please! :smile: thanks

I doubt the pH was the problem. In a link Agar posted it advised that you could spawn all the way up to 8.0.

Were you using clear-sided containers?

Could be many things. ph you will have to test for.
Sence you only had growth around the sides I would think humidity. Hard to tell with out pic's.
