Type of Vermiculite
    #647069 - 05/27/02 01:14 AM (22 years, 6 months ago)

Are there differant types of vermiculate (like differant grades) because the only bag my store had didn't have a grading on it and i'm worried that it won't give the mycelium enough room to grow. The litte stones or vermiculate chips are about 1-2 millimeters so i'm assuming it's a medium grade. Is this the right type?

Personally, I have used the finer type of vermiculite (also didnt have a grade specified) and it produced nice cakes that colonized well, and fruited aggressively with the Treasure Coast strain growing on it. I used the pf method to colonize, and a casing method was used that consisted of 1/2 " layer of verm, topped with 4 cakes, crumbled of course, then cased with another 1/2 " layer of moist verm. (both layers were moistend actually) This setup worked well for me.

Shouldn't be a problem. Worst case scenerio is that it takes longer to colonize.

Mycelium can grow through wood, drying manure and even hard packed sandy substrates in the wild. I dont think it would have a problemg growing thourhg some fine verm.
