Im pretty sure it will work I was plaing on doing the same thing and I thought I read some where some one did this before but I haven't tried it yet so you might want to wait for some other people to tell you its ok too. |

You know I was going to start this thread in a few days. I knocked up some standard PF jars with Pan Trops before I went on vacation. I spawned the cakes out at a 1:3 ratio into oven sterilized worm castings as soon as I got back (3 days ago). Three days later I can tell this is gonna work. Excellent spawn run, and I see primordia knots forming on the surface. I am going to case the small trays (bottoms of empty Clorox bottles) with 100% worm castings. Watch the mositure content, it's easy to get it too wet. You don't want it slimey. Looks good all. Nan |

i think it should work. i have some pan trops incubating in birdseed, brf, dung, verm mix and may case half with dung and half with worm poop. I have been having a little bit of problems with worm poop contaminating though. |

Good question Cbee... We are workiing on the answer. But it does not look too hard, different substrates, everything else seems to be pretty much the same as cubies. |

Good to hear some replies! From the photo in the above link, I would say it will work. Should not be much/ if any more difficult than cubs. Will I see any differences between the Trops. and the cyans.?... Check out the Dutch site MUSHMUSH for a great detailed method and awesome pix! These things get up to 15 inches long!! Sounds like fun . LAST QUESTION: Anyone try dextrose water w/ these spores? Good luck all yall, and keep us up to date Nanook! BTW...good to see ya made it back from Maine in 1 piece!! Fishy1 |

Yeah I flicked some spores into dextrose to get mycellial solution to inoculate the jars. Worked great. |

Ralph Rules!! Pan. cyans. and Pan trops. prints delivered in 3 days!! Thats service ... Dextrose in the P/C as we speak... I know these are fast colonizers, just wondering if the dextrose gets going quickly?? No hurry I guess;) fishy1 |
