Composted Substrate??
    #7889836 - 01/16/08 07:26 PM (16 years, 16 days ago)

Hi,

I am planning to grow some Agaricus bisporus mushrooms and they require composted substrate

I wonder if I can use substrate that has been previously used for Psilocube cubensis growing.

The question is whether this substrate ( horse poo and hay in my case) can be considered as "composted" and therefore suitable for A.bisporus cultivation after it has been exausted by P.cubensis growing.

Any ideas would be appreciated!!!!

I would just buy a bag of composted cow manure... Only about $5 at the nursery.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one on this particular subject just in case I really did miss a discussion about this somewhere.

All I want to know is- how much would I be pushing it if I didn't pasteurize/boil my compst before using it in a casing?

{I have a pot plant growing that I adopted from a friend of mine that I never really expected to survive. But I guess being raised in a flower shop rubs off on you, because it's growing really well and all of the sudden I realize that I need to start taking care of it for real, so I'm getting compost and stuff like that. But the smallest size bag that I can find is 30 pounds and I REALLY don't need all that for one little plant. I need to find something else to do with it because I really don't have any place in my apartment to keep somegthing like that.}

It's basically that I don't really have the time to sterilize like that in the near future, because I'm barely able to squeeze in the time to get them cased right now. I know, that's bad, but I'm in the middle of getting ready to move.

Pasteurization is required. Compost is a substrate, not a casing.
