Using human poop / humanure?
    #7998573 -

Don't worry! I'm not trying this (...yet)

The waste water treatment plant near where I live takes the poop from the sewer and turns it into fertilizer that is dirt cheap (shit cheap?) to buy. I actually got to tour their facility on a field trip once when I was a little kid -- way cooler than it might sound.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to use this to grow shrooms. Obviously it probably lacks some vital nutrients, but I'm curious. There's some sort of delicious irony or circular beauty which appeals to me about the idea of growing shrooms out of other people's shit.

I'm going to try a straight up PF tek (I know, I know... you're all sick of hearing about them) this Spring, but pending success might consider trying my hand at bulk this summer. It would provide me with endless joy if I could somehow implement human poop into the process -- and I might just try it for the sake of science regardless of what you wizened sages advise!

Before anyone trolls you..

no man, human shit does not work. We consume meat/vegetables and exit out the by products that are no good for anything, cows and horses eat hay/grains...

There was a article posted awhile back (two, maybe three years ago)
about a team of mycologist that grew out of a vegans bi-products, but yea.... kind of a dumb question to be honest man.

What if the humans ate a lot of cereal? :grin:

No worries HybridprX, I wasn't really serious. But I might still include a baggie of the stuff in a tray sometime for novelty's sake.

This will not work. I've seen a lot of these threads get locked.

It is very likely that the wheat that made your bread was grown in a field that has been fertilised with the by product of human sewage treatment known as sludge.

I've heard stories of people in Eastern countries fertilizing with composted human waste, but that is used with dirt to grow plants. I think that's a little different than growing a mushroom on a turd. Put that idea out of your mind and get some brown rice.

Exactly. How far away from this type of primate do you have to go, and with what kind of diet before it becomes feasible? I don't think that humans are magical creatures who pull all nutrients out of their food. Still, I'm not going near e-coli fungi.
