What are some of the strange or unusual substrates you guys have used succesfully?

Check out the substrate forum or the substrate page under mushroom cultivation at the top of your screen

Coco coir as a supplement to bulk substrates. Strange, because it's supposed to be a casing layer. I've never liked how coir performs in casings, so started adding it to manure awhile back just for fun. Nice, unexpected results. I'm really surprised more people aren't using it in substrates these days.

No, I don't think that by itself coir has the nutrients to support a decent flush. But when added to manure, they seem to compliment each other well.

30-50% works, but I wouldn't go much over that. So, 50/50 horse manure/coco coir for a bulk substrate, give it a try. I saw the fastest colonization times for a bulk tray ever with coir + manure.

Hydrate manure and coir separately, then mix together by hand, and pasteurize in bags.

The one caveat to using coir in the substrate is that it makes it virtually impossible to use coir in the casing layer. At the casing stage of the game the mycelium will have adapted a wonderful set of enzymes to rapidly and efficiently devour the coir and your casing will become overlaid and useless rather quickly. Stick with peat/verm if your using coir in the substrate.

Coir casing works on coir-less substrates because it is a new substrate at the casing stage and the mycelium is more pre-occupied with fruiting than trying to learn to eat the nutritious coir but as many have witnessed it will eventually start to colonize the coir as it adapts enzymatically.
