Cultivation using cow patties

What are the possible steps that I can use to make shrooms sprout? I've read from various sites that some don't sprout from the shit itself, while other say it does.
I have an aquarium I can store it in and keep at a constant 85+% humidity. Is there some enriched soil, minerals, ground up feed that'll increase this? Is it even possible? I had a friend in a city that grew his shrooms with cow patties in his room and he claims that they fruited great.
I don't have much money to do this. So all I can really get is the aquarium and the cow shit. Healthy, well-fed cows from Texas. So you know it's good shit. Please for the info. Thanks in advance.
Please no flaming.

hey, you'll need to pasturise your cow shit before you use it... that will get rid of any contaminants which also love the conditions shrooms do to live. But if (from what i'm understanding) your getting your mushrooms from cow pats themselves, you can't pasturise those particular one's otherwise you'll kill the mycelium (what the mushroom grows from). Apart from that you sound like your good to go. Perhaps read the forums here, so you learn other (and much much beter) ways to grow shrooms and increase your yield alot! goodluck.

It will only come from cow patties that have whichever mushroom you are looking for already growing from it.

What if I happen to find one that has shrooms growing on it already and use that to spread spores around? What'd be the best method to freaking yield shrooms without the smell of shit. Just name a few and I'll look around for the topics about em.

Ok,I'll answer this one,as this is the only way I've actually ever grown shrooms.First off,cow pies with cubensis allready growing from them,will produce shrooms,indoors or out,given sufficient humidity.Just bring home the cow pies,throw em in a shady spot in the yard,and watre them real well,or wait for rain.Indoors build a terrerium,and keep in nice and misted,with high humidity,and they will grow.I'ts the easiest way to grow shrooms,but you only get a few good flushes.Here is a pic of cow pies a brought home,and threw in the yard.[image] [/image][image] [/image]

Yeah it works. I took cow patties that had cubes growing on them, put them in a shady spot, mixed with damp straw/manure/compost mix, watered, and its flowering.. can't complain, easier than walkin through my neighbors 40 acres lookin around his fields.

I read somewhere that for the last 20 years, most cows are fed grain that is treated with a fungicide. Super sad because I recently moved to the middle of nowhere surrounded by cow pastures. They're like, everywhere. Would it be a waste of time to check? I've read around the forum a little and didn't see anyone mention this. I may have overlooked it. But how effective is it to hunt for them the old school hippy way in cow pastures in the present day?

Sounds like a bad idea. Getting arrested for trespassing and possession might be the least of your troubles.
