I have had the same problem with dung that has not drained long enough. If the dung is too wet it will be a barrier to colonisation. I try to drain it overnight. I put my pillowcase in the oven to drain. I fill the oven w/ Lysol mist and then close it in and forget about it 'till the next day.

The pictures are posted above in my first post. They say update with 7-7-02. 5 pictures....1 PR and 4 KC casings.
I will update as it colonizes....up in the first post at the top.
I also added the pictures of the incubator and casings in the incubator last night.
All pictures will be added to my first post.....this makes it more Visual.
Probably every other day.
enjoy!

Roadkill... what do you plan on casing with? Because i'm using the poo tek i got from you and i'm at pretty much the same point you are. I have 5 of the smaller bread pan tins filled. I think 2 of them are ready to be cased right now. I was thinking of using a peat/vermiculite mix with lime for pH. what do you think? and as far as a fruting chamber, would a rubbermaid with wet perlite on bottom, 3 fannings/day with misting each time be alright? and for a growing chamber, is a rubbermaid with a bubbler and a container of wet perlite with a couple fannings per day good? i'm also curious as to what your yeilds usually are per container.

I'm going to definately have to try this tek for my first bulk substrate experience. Up until now I just put a bottom layer of vermiculite, several caked crumpled up on top of that and then case with coir. I'm enjoying this natural progression I'm having with growing. I started birthing just the cakes, then moved on to casing, and now it's time to try bulk. Thanks for the tek and great pics.

Hairs:
Ive noticed that with compost or manure it will actually colonize faster in 70-75 degree weather rather than an incubator setup at 80-85F. Temps that are reached inside the compost are pretty much perfect when the ambient temperature is in the 70s.
Just make sure you cover with foil and put it in a dark place

Pavlovs Dog used to keep his in the cubbard up above his frig.
If you do this be sure and clean it out really good...spray some Lysol in there...and cover the casing up without using holes in the Alum foil.
I prefer the incubator.....much faster! My casing incubator is set at 80 degrees inside temp.
***I'll be updating the colonizing casings later this evening***

are you sure it was mycelium?
horse poo turns white when dried.
I don't think it will be a problem.
As far as getting it wet after being dry.....I'd think it would be fine.
reason you want it to dry out to begin with is to get rid of the amonia < SP.
If your not in a rush you might dry it out again.
Just pasturize it when you are ready to use it.

i keep putting off pasturizing my dung, and i have one more question, instead of buying a thermometer could i just stick a pot in the oven at 170 and just do it that way, any problems with this? will the pillowcase start on fira?

Don't be ghetto! Buy a friggin thermometer! They are cheap at Wally World. Just buy a 'candy' thermometer. Theoretically you CAN just put the pot in the oven but your oven thermostat is only good for about +/- 30 degrees so the temp will vary as much as 140-200 degrees...especially at this low temp range. The thermostats work better (+/- 15 deg) up around 250+, more in the operational range of yer oven. If you want to do something right don't take shortcuts. Proper pasteurization is important!...and thermometers are cheap!....wanna do like Road?...follow the directions he has graciously given you and you should succeed.

Thanks Trippin!
Hairs, Don't start experimenting.....try it this way. A candy thermometer is only a few dollars. you can get them in almost any major grocery store.

I checked on the casings.....they are almost finnished colonizing. I'll post pictures tomorrow..... I think they will be done by then. Then its off to the fruiting chamber.
I added some pictures up above to the grow log to make it more Visual.
