A question regarding this tek, I have recently purchased some pre-made mushroom compost consisting of h.poo, straw, gypsum and lime. I am thinking I have to sterilze this before making the substrate transferable, what would be the best way to do this, or acan I get away with just mixing it with the WBS?
Thanks in advance

I would pasteurize for your best results. Sterilizing kills everything, even the good bacteria.

You quoted his response suggesting not to sterilise, rather pasteurise - and then you ask how long to sterilise it for? 
Pasteurise for minimum of an hour, better for two or three. Don't sterilise your compost.

That's why I didn't respond Otto, I thought he was fishing.
My bucket's coming along beatifully and will post some pics soon. Unfortunately I'll be going away for the weekend and will either harvest early or leave until Sunday night. Decisions, decisions.

Okay, so I thought I'd add a few photos. Here's a series taken almost 24hours apart for the last few days. Question is, I'm going away in less than 24 hours for almost 50 hours. Should I harvest the largest mushrooms or just wait until I return home?

Okay, so I decided to harvest prior to leaving as one of the veils had broken. Here's what I ended up with:
 and here they are drying on newspaper:

The caps are incredibly small for such long mushrooms and very different to the other PF Classic mushrooms I grew in summer. I wonder if it's the low ambient temperatures? They're still not cracker dry, but will post a final yield when they are.
Managed 16.5g dry. The next flush is much larger and almost ready to harvest. This time I will leave until they look bootiful

The second flush has been harvested, one was a little more advanced than the rest and he was picked last night.
Here's the pictures:
