Don't get me wrong, you can get nice size ones off of brfv cakes, or straight grains. I really like the poo shrooms though!

I've pasturized the poo, then added it to the bag of colonized grain. That way, you don't havet o handle the grain, less chance of contam. that way.

So basically, the only good use for it is bulk substrate when pasturized?
are you trying to use it for something else, like a cake?
I read the vaults and saw the instructions for pasturizing the poop, I just wasn't sure if anyone ever tried to sterilize it.
wouldnt sterilzing poop to the max be like hydating it with a bit of h202 and PC'ing it? wouldnt that be nasty? i think as long as you just follow the standard pasteurizing practices and make sure its not too wet when you case it, you should be fine.

1. Pasturize the poo
2. Bag it and preasure cook it for 45 minutes at 15 psi
3. Wait for it to cool and inoculate it with liquid culture
4. Set the bags in those long small trays that fit underneath beds.
5. When colonized, cut the bag open, dome the lid, and run a hose with a humidifier in it.
It is not possible to compost being that there isnt any yard available. Knocking up some jars for spawn is also not possible due to the lack of funds and time. You think that method will work? What has more nutrients, horse poo or brown rice?

1. Pasteurization is for open-air spawning.Here is what I was thinking.
1. Pasturize the poo
2. Bag it and preasure cook it for 45 minutes at 15 psi
3. Wait for it to cool and inoculate it with liquid culture
4. Set the bags in those long small trays that fit underneath beds.
5. When colonized, cut the bag open, dome the lid, and run a hose with a humidifier in it.
2. Sterlizing (pressure cooking) is not needed for bulk substrates.
only *sterilize* when the container is never being opened (like in waylit's pan. tek)
3. you need to spawn. with grain. a thick liquid culture could possibly work, but probably not.
4. bad idea. event ho things dont have to be super-sterile,
prevent airborne contams from germinating on your casing by keeping all projects raised
12"+ above the floor/carpet. as this is where the majority of household contams reside.
5. quit hiding under the bed :rasta:
you can compost in a rubbermaid if you had to, but you do not.It is not possible to compost being that there isnt any yard available.
no.Knocking up some jars for spawn is also not possible due to the lack of funds and time. You think that method will work?
brown rice.What has more nutrients, horse poo or brown rice?
you do not need poo to make mushrooms. slow down and follow some beginner teks before you go trying experimental things like this. cutting corners is not going to yield you anything but headaches and wasted time.
A foaf got a ton of horse poo and is going to plant it out in a field and inoculate heap by heap with some syringes.

Sterilize [PC] the bags for an hour...Then innoculate...
This way you can either fruit directly in the bags or use as spawn for more
H poo....The addition of some vermiculite is usefull if you do plan to fruit right in the bag - for its water holding quality....

You can get very good results with poo in spawn bags by puting a layer of grain on top, colonizing it and then mixing (spawning) with the poo layer without opening the bag. Done this way, you can sterilize poo without the severe contamination risks of open air spawning.
Here is a thread I wrote on layering poo and grain (worm castings and popcorn) and fruiting in a sealed spawn bag:
http://mycotopia.net...ead.php?t=11576
Here is B+ fruiting in a pre-sealable spawn bag; the bag has never been opened (since being made). One cool thing is that all the fruit/spores inside are completely sterile.

Please note, this B+ was isolated for the specific trait of fruiting invitro - others might not be as prolific.
