Wanting to use spawn bags with horse manure???

I am wanting to use horse manure but didn't want to use the mason jars; so i wondered about making a mixture with dried horse manure in spawn bags. Wondering if this is a good or bad idea and also how many cc's of spores do i need to inject into each bag?

it can work but you need something to germinate on.
you can do it a couple different ways.
1) do a few bags of grain, then seperately do bags of grain, and combine them after the grain is colonized ( i usually do this method) 1 bag of grain should spawn 2 bags of poo.
2) you can do a basic poo/brf tek i use for pans, but use the bags instead of the 1/2 pint jars.
here is the recipe
5 cups vermiculite 3 cups manure 10 tblspns BRF 1.5 - 1.75 cups water (same as 10-12 half pints)
VVVVVV***edit for the obviouse*** VVVVVV
OR ( i just woke up so i was foggy headed), you can do bags of grain and just spawn to pastuerized poo as normal .

You can use manure on it's own if you want even if it is better if you add some extras to the mix. If you want to inoculate directly and not use spawn, you have to sterilize the contents not pasteurize and it is better to use a liquid culture (LC) instead of spore inoculation.
Also, make sure the bags have a filter patch for air exchange.

This is where i was just going to put the manure in the bags and then use the pressure cooker to sterilize everything... Im tryin to figure out how much manure i need per bag and how many syringes i need to inject into each bag (how many cc's per bag)?

This may all sound stupid but i'm still a kinda new and just looking for help... but i figured the horse poo would be the best to use... do i still need to use some jars with cracked corn or seed and then spread into tubs with steralized bags of poo? or can you just inject the bags and not mess with anything else but poo?

you have just described two different procedures.
The first one is spawning to bulk substrate, the second is using mycobags to prepare spawn.
Both are good methods and you can find more about them using the search engine
