quick vermiculite question
    #5938956 - 08/06/06 11:01 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

well on my first attemp to grow mushrooms, i bought vermiculite from walmart i think.. the only thing was that the vermiculite i bought didnt look the same as the pics on the internet... i see that it looks kind of liek little wood pieces... mine looked more like a wierd soil, sand or something... is this normal???? i used it and the mycelium in my jars stopped growing after about a day of growth. if anyone can tell me about this vermiculite i would greatly appreciate it. thx

If it in fact IS vermiculite, it might be too finely ground?

Most teks will tell you not to use that kind. I believe the kind I use is a medium coarse mix. I just buy it from one of the shroomery sponsors.
