poo and its appropriate uses
    #5583242 - 05/02/06 09:20 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Ok its time to get something going here.

I bought some 10oz working glasses, because they were only .40$ each. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=150&f=1693 good find for those who need jars cheep. But finding them made me decide that i should just go back to PF tek for awhile and get my head in a good space for a few more attempts at grain.

I have 40 of then and 4 syringes.

Feeling gooood

Now recently I bought a 40lb bag of pasteurized cow poo. I am a cheep fuck so I didn?t spring for the tenn stud, but ill do what I can with what Ive got. My questions are:
1. Even though it claims to be pre pasteurized, am I going to want to sterilize it again?

2. Will the cow poo work in the poo tek and does it need to be dried? In short what is the best way to work with this stuff?

3. Is there anyway to incorporate a bit of poo into the cakes I am going to make b4 they are crumbled and mixed as is outlined in the poo tek "working with poo". In short is it at all beneficial to incorporate the poo into the cakes themselves while they are colonizing.

That?s it. A few questions in the proper and effective uses of poo in a PF tek environment

I would pasteurize.

cpoo isn't as good as hpoo. First, it's more digested, so there's less nutrients for the mushrooms. Second, it's not as fiberous as hpoo, so you should consider adding something to fluff it up a bit.

I would buy a bale of straw, chop some up into 2-3 inch pieces, and mix that with the poo, 50/50. Then I would add 15-20% vermiculite to that mix.

I would sundry the poo before using it, leave it in the sun for several weeks if possible.

Since you're boiling, and cakes take so long to colonize, I would not use cpoo in them. Just do them normal, and use a cheese grater to make your spawn.

Also, because the cpoo is more dense, and it's harder for the mycelium to work it's way through the substrate throughly, consider letting it over incubate by 3-5 days before adding the casing layer.

if it is pre pasteurized then they could have a lawsuit on their hands if it's really not.

with cow poo i usually dry it in the sun for a few days and then pasteurize it at 140F for 2 hours. vermiculite helps with cow poo if it is a little runny.
