then why do my shrooms grow better on pure horse manure over pure cow manure?

Cow manure is to runny and not fluffy enough and holds to much water.

I think colinization time is quicker with horse manure because it seems to be less digested and has more air pockets for the mycelium to grow.

just my opinion though

just inject corn kernals with spores cause digestive dont tend to digest corn well.. then the cow will poop it out and ta-da.. or you could just inject the cows shit.. or grow them in your closet on brf.

cows have 4 stomachs so by the time it gets to the end it's going to be soupy(couldnt think of a better word lol)horses have 1 stomach so it isnt soupy.But a horse has some pretty powerful acids in it's stomach almost the same that we do (notice the word almost).

1 more thing I just wanted to trow out is

I make compost out of horse manure/straw, at first during the composting process when tempureatures are 160 F mushrooms just explode out of my compost even after I mix all my ingrediants, high power fertalizers and other goodies, just a few days after mixing.

you wouldnt stick a plant in a hot mix like that.

I would feed cows if anything.




There's no such thing as a waste if you make your own prints. Spores are only precious to those who haven't figured printing out!

Anyway, I'll tell you now that cubes and other corpophiles tend to wind up in cow shit not by spreading their spores over the pile externally, but by being eaten on grass, then shat out in the pile. Maybe not all the spores survive the wonderful roller-coaster ride of the cow's shit-tubes, but enough seem to get by to keep the species going.

Sure, feed your horse spores. Don't expect it to work, but cross your fingers! It doesn't have a 100% success rate in nature, either, but then nature is rather big, and horses and cows eat and shit all the time, so nature has a lot of room for error.

i personally don't think it would work, but it got me thinking: is there a way we COULD make it work?

my proposition:

find a material that is decomposable, but won't break down all the way when eaten by the horse/cow. make a pill casing out of the material and put some spores in it. after a bit, it will decompose while the poo gets leeched.

I'm kinda stoned, so if it seems like i put too much thought into it, let me know, and i'll forget about it =)

Too much thought. The spore basically is the material you're talking about. Spores are meant to survive rather unusual conditions... and often, they do.

There are 100,000,000,000,000,00etcetc spores released by every mushroom for a good reason. 99,999,999,999,998etcetc of them might die only to have two survive and go on to produce millions more later. If you are an individual spore--like an individual sperm--you are rather unlikely to make anything of yourself, ever. But if you are a billion spores, well, you've got a pretty decent shot at turning into a few happy hyphae.

I've been composting for a little while now and I've never seen "mushrooms explode out of my compost" although you are right, compost does reach 160(F) internally - which is self-pasteurizing and kills all non-thermophilic microbes, of which p.cube spores are not.

There really has been a lot of "why can't I just stick a needle in the ground" type threads lately, haven't there?

I thought it was just me.

Still, none of them will ever beat the guy who wanted to stick a log in some sand, cover it with cow poop, and hose it down every day, thinking somehow psychedelic mushrooms would be the result.

Seeding farm animals isn't as bad as that, but it's not exactly likely to work with any practical rate of success.

for what it's worth, I have (can't say i researched this one) heard that cows - with their six stomaches - have such a low acid content that if they to eat a lot of mush/spore that there could be something that survived on the other end being colonized.

However, considering almost all feed grains and straw have a fungicide as a preservative.

Mushroom grows in field. -----> Mushroom spooges on field's grass. -----> Cows eat freakin' grass. That's what they do. ------> Cow shit con spores. Hurray.
