Help !WBS jars ready! What now?

I have 3 jars(1 QT. and 2 pint jars) inoculated with golden teacher spores. The Qt jar is 99% covered while the 2 pint jars are roughly 90%. I'm looking for any advice or teks on what is the best next step to take. Spawn or case? How small should the chunks be after breaking up the contents of the jars? I have 2Qts of 60/40 mix which I was going to case with but I'm reading that WBS should be used as spawn. I don't have access to poo to mix with the WBS so is it possible to mix the 60/40 mix or damp verm with the broken up, colonized WBS. The Jars should be ready in a day or so, I need help ASAP. Any help is much appreciated.

You can spawn it to coir and/or coffee grinds. How do you not have access to manure? Just about everybody has a garden center or farm/ranch nearby. You could also make a staw log or basket. Worm castings also make a nice bulk substrate. Just read the teks and pick one. WBS needs to be spawned to bulk to fruit properly. RR

I'm a newbie at the use of grains as substrates, so sorry for any "stupid" questions. The only garden supplies stores near me are either Lowe's or Home Depot. So I'm just looking for plain manure? How much do I need and do you have any advice as to mix ratios, etc.

WTF, wbs does not need to be spawned to anything to fruit properly, just cased.

ya im sure RR doesnt know what hes talking about or anything [/sarcasm]
WBS is relatively low in nutritional value from what i have read so in order to get the most out of it, its best to spawn to poo or some other nutritious bulk substrate.

Show me where you read this, i think someone could be growing shrooms on this thread its so full of bullshit. The fact is that wbs is mostly white millet and white millet has a higher nutritional value than a lot of substrates used. I can gaurantee you that the nutritional value of wbs is way higher than straw. The reason for using bulk substrate is that it don't have to be sterilized like grain, just pasturized, far easier to pasturize 50 lbs of straw, or dung than to sterilze 50 lbs of grain.

This was straight wbs cased w/ 50/50+ (I didn't think they did too bad [ksss strain]):

I have, however, wondered for an explaination for all those "short, stumpy" shrooms.
