Substrate Depth
    #5760665 - 06/17/06 01:41 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Ok I'm going to be doing WBS spawned to hpoo(more than likely) if not coco coir. My casing is going to be 50 verm/50 peat(cuz thats what i used last time) I'm going to be using a monotub set up this time. My main question is how deep should the substrate be? and how deep should the casing layer be. In my first casing my layer was just enough to cover my crumbled BRF. Cuz this is my thinking behind the depth of the substrate.... The deeper the substrate the more mushrooms produced but then again only so many mushrooms can be produced so if the substrate is too deep that is just a waste of colonized substrate/mycelium to grow mushrooms. I'm just wondering what your guy's personal choice/experience/advise to me would be. Thank you.

My personal choice is a 5" substrate depth with about a 1/2" casing.

"the deeper the substrate the more mushrooms are produced."

No, the deeper the substrate the LARGER the FRUITS. Thin substrate depths = small, skinny, fruits (and vice versa).

Now, what you're trying to say would be along the lines of "The more surface area you have the more mushrooms you can produce."
