This a good substrate?
    #7552992 - 10/23/07 09:54 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I have 2 50Lb bags from the feed store, one is whole milo and other is whole corn. I plan on doing a 50/50 mix with them, isn't this pretty close to WBS? I then plan on spawning to H Poo...

Anyone ever try this mix or think it will work good?

I'd use the millet and toss the corn.

no, wbs does not contain corn...
well some does, but in very small amounts.

corn is the worst spawn there is.
millet is fairly good for spawn, one of the best.
not so great as a direct substrate though.

what would make corn a bad idea? more bacteria or something?

too much surface area.
too high of an endospore count.

so...

better chance of bacterial contamination
less mycelium per jar (per any unit of size)
less inoculation points for spawing per jar

the mycelium will also tend to fall of the large smooth surface
of the corn during spawning, causing a longer recovery time.
