horse poo smell
    #5444851 - 03/26/06 06:22 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

my colonizing horse poo smells absolutely awful - Is this normal?
I'm guessing that it's not, but then again...I am using actual shit.

Maybe not absolutel awful, I guess...but it definitely, definitely does not smell anything like mycelium or a healthy casing, etc.

Any ideas?

Occasionally my manure does the same thing, it smells rancid right after spawning, for no obvious reason. Good news is that it always goes away once the mycelium takes hold.

Be sure you aren't incubating above 80F for the spawn run, and wait it out.

Good advice - I've learned that the hard way. Try to keep the temp in the high 70s since the mycelium will generate its own heat as it spreads.

This is new to me. I normally only smell it during pastuerizing.

If the poo was too fresh or not leeched properly, it will have a strong smell of ammonia. I tried leeching and spawning to poo that was not fully weathered, and the results were a stinky mess and a waste of 4Q of grain spawn.
