Oyster Shell magnesium level
    #7379795 -

Hey I just bought a 50lb bag of oyster shell flour and after buying it I though: "shit I didn't check the magnesium level.

well it didn't say, so I'm wondering if any of you have used this specific kind?:

Pacific Pearl Oyster Shell: natures best calcium (shell flour)

Calcium Carbonate Equivalent = 92%
Calcium = 36%
Derived from finely ground oyster shell.

-thats all it says-

I know higher than 1% magnesium levels will not make my fungi friends happy.

I believe it has little if any. It comes highly recommended by many veterans as the the buffer of choice for casing layers. When AGAR was around he recommended it all the time as what he used. I bought a 50 lb bag like you but have yet to use it. In the next few months I should be up and running again though.
