Would this compost recipe work for cubensis?

Here is a recipe I found online....just wondering if this recipe is a good one for cubes.......


Mushroom Compost is a complicated material made from several different materials. Most of it is made from a base of straw or hay. To that is added a small amount of supplements, minerals and manure. A brief out line on how mushroom compost is made follows...

Phase 1, Agaricus bisporus Compost Formula. 1 - Three wire bale formula.

Day

Treatment to material and ingredients to add.

6
Saturday

Sunday

16
Tuesday
Let it sit:

17
Wednesday
Add - 3lbs. Cotton Seed Meal, 2 lbs. Gypsum, 1 lbs. Rape Seed Meal, 1 lbs. Peat Moss.

18
Thursday
Turn pile, water lightly.* (Keep the pile in a more compact format to allow heat to build up.)

19
Friday
Let it sit:

20
Saturday
Turn pile, water lightly.*

21
Sunday
Let it sit:

22
Monday
Turn pile, water lightly.*

23
Tuesday
Let it sit:

24
Wednesday
Turn pile, and fill containers. - Ready to pasturize at 142 degrees F. for 6 hours.



First stabilize at 132 F. for 3 hrs. , then raise to 142 F. for 6 hrs.

Finished compost has 65-70% water content.

Slowly let cool for 2 days. Slow clean air ventilation required.

Well made compost is blackish and has a light carmel type coating covering the straw. Over composting will lower mushroom yeilds.

Compost is pasturized to kill any existing undesirable fungi growing in the compost. It can then be inoculated with mushroom spawn.



* Wet down just enough to moisten the material and not enough to cause water run off. Run off washes away the added nuitrients.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I see that you are quoting TMC...that said of course that formula will work minus one point: STRAW and HAY are totally different

Straw: Hollow stalks of grain (such as wheat), used mostly as bedding and garden mulch, but which is also used as feed.

Hay: Any of several nutritional grasses and legumes, such as alfalfa or clover, that is cut, dried, and then used as fodder for farm animals
