NOOOO! Never use vermiculite insulation. Only Horticulture vermiculite should be used because it retains more water. Plus insulation vermi is handled badly by the factory who packages it because it is not suppost to be used like that. I like to take pride in my shrooms and I know you all like to also. :smile:




vermiculite is vermiculite, period.  the only thing that makes some vermiculite "horticulture" grade is the size of the pieces.  the insulation kind is sometimes really chunky, but not necessarily, sometimes it matches up to the medium grade horticultural vermiculite.  it comes in bigger bags and generally costs less too if you find it as insulation.  there's also verm sold as "bedding" for under swimming pool liners, and again, same deal, if the size of the chunks is suitable its just fine (though swimming pool verm is on the other side of the spectrum and is usually finer, they mix it in with cement to make the bottom of swimming pools.)

it's all handled and treated the same, the only difference is the sort/sift and how it's packaged

I also saw bags of "Mushroom Growing Compost" was curious if you guys have seen it and any thoughts on it.




in most cases it' spent substrate used by growers and being resold for garden use,
this is unsuitable for anything but soil ammendments for plants
