What is the best way to spawn into poo....ie what substrate is best? I am planning on spawning whatever the best substrate is into a bucket of poo and straw.

Millet is the best!~ but it can be expensive.
Rye is really good... You can fruit dirrectly off the Rye... or use it to spawn into a bulk substrate.
and WBS is the cheapest.
Millet is the best because it breaks up into smaller peices and you have more points to colonize the bulk substrate.

I like straight WBS, and if I have rye, I do 50/50 rye/WBS.

Just so the new folks reading this don't get confused, manure IS the substrate. What you wanted to ask was, "what is the best spawn medium". Items such as wbs, corn, rye, millet, etc., are spawn materials.
Now, here's where the nomenclature can get confusing because if you don't spawn your rye or millet to manure, but instead spread it out and put a casing layer on it, the rye or millet spawn then becomes the substrate.
The casing is the non-nutritious layer above that which the mushrooms actually grow on. RR

Me, I use Rye... Why? Because its been used for hundred of years as spawn and as a fruiting media. Why? Because everything else is nutritionally deficient in comparison...

In my spawn run skillet, I've never tried millet. But I'm not going to lie... I'm digging the rye.

If by poo you mean manure, than it IS the substrate. If you're asking what spawn material is best, the gold standard is rye berries. RR
