    #5384491 - 03/10/06 05:51 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Yeah, vermiculite can often leave a gold-flake type residue... If they're actual crystals then I'm not sure what to think.

gold flakes are ok just blow them off and don't eat to many.

crystals doesn't sound like anything i've ever had.

That just seems like a bad business strategy.. dealing in the first place is a bad idea, but to lace your mushrooms with deadly crystals means you don't get return customers.  :shake:

Vermiculite is a mineral(I think) that is prcessed and used for planting/growing etc. Its not harmfull, although some people say it gives you cancer(I dout it). but dont worry, just blow it off, or wipe it off, somethin...somethin.....

Vermiculite is commonly used in substrates and casing layers. A couple of tiny bits won't hurt you, but I wouldn't suggest eating a lot. You might get glittershits, which just basically means you shit out the gold flakes and it'll make your poo sparkle.

It is definitely vermiculite, stupid fucks in my locality, the kind who derive 'drug knowledge' from superfluous drug use; claim mushrooms with 'gold crystals' are 'bomb as fuck.'

I try and explain...

It's vermiculite, mo'fucka, I say.

It's a mineral much like mica and lavarock combined. It helps air out the stuff the mushrooms grew from. You're fine to eat them... though some people may call you "glittershits". I eat pounds at a time to exfoliate my rectum.

uh. thats mycelium duder. about half the shrooms i grow have been hollow to some extent. you would grow them the same as any other normal cube. nothing more or less. having some sort of super cyrstals in shrooms id imagine would be impossilbe unless you purposly fill the hollow stems with coke or something? then that would be quite a waste of money.

Well frankly yes hpoo does have more nutes.  Because cows have 4 stomaches and break down a lot of the nutes the mushies need.  I think that the reason they do not generally grow on hpoo is because they have 1 stomache and there poo is full of ammonia. 

Read up on it and see what kind of yeilds people are getting off cowpies and straw vs hpoo or straw and hpoo.

There also different types of cows.  I would think dairy cows since they eat grain a lot would have potential for making more potent shrooms then say the wondering cow.  The same with a horse.  :smile:
I hope that answers your Q

nutrient content has nothing to do with potency

Ok so the nutrients facilitate more mushrooms but what about joshua's white rice project. where he got a great flush and they were bunk because of the plain sub?

I dont smoke or grow weed and dont know much about it. Check out the white rice grow log. I think they ate 5 grams without a headchange.

So if Nutes dont facilitate potency then the additive of kelp meal and other high in nitrogen/tryptophan additives do didly? except increase yeild
