I know h/poop is the best but what about stuff like Myco Bags are they any good?

BULK:
proper compost
horse poo
coco coir
straw

PF:
Quinoa
Brown Rice Flour

Grain Spawn:
Rye
Wild Bird Seed(Feed)

these are the ones I use. I add things to tweak in every case, but these are the basics.

not yet had a problem with potency. If the method is similar the potency is also similar in my cases. my spawned brf or quinoa cakes are the same as my spawned wbs. I think so anyway.

I'm not a pro by any means, but these are my choices.

Other than poo rye has quite the kick and IMHO potency is the same as poo.

I agree. I was on the h/poo potency bandwagon for awhile, but after a couple goes with both PF tek grown shrooms, coir grown shrooms and poo grown shrooms, I'd have to say it doesn't really matter. I grow with poo more for the amount of mushrooms you get rather than the potency. Even with poo, it's hit-or-miss sometimes.

IME, BRF grown shrooms are better when I grind my own brown rice, rather than buying the pre-ground stuff. Adding quinoa into the PF mix was even better. I've had plenty of BRF grown shrooms that were just as good as shrooms grown any other way.

I thought your question was about comparing the potency of mushrooms grown from different substrates. Myco Bags aren't a substrate they are just a different method used for growing.

The advantage of using myco bags when it comes to potency is that you can eaisly add various additives which MAY or MAY NOT increase potency.

Problem with potency comparisons is that the only way most people around here can test potency is to ingest the shrooms and that leave WAY WAY to much room for error, so it's all really just subjective.

Best thing to do is have some fun, try something new and see what works for you.
