I know this should be in the mushroom cultivation section but I can't post there.

Sorry...

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

Just wondering if I should wait a bit longer...
They are solid blocks and there is no loose grain

good choice, make sure to pasteurize in distilled water (tap water throws pH off balance and has problematic stuff in it)
i do 70% coir/horse poo + 30% verm here

I spawned to bulk this is almost 36 hours later, I wish I had a better camera so you could see the rhyzo strands coming off every piece of grain. I also did 50\50 spawn to bulk substrate. So six pounds of the myc and 6 pounds of coir verm gypsum etc....

I also dunked my grains in water for about 10-15 minutes before spawning. This seemed to speed every thing up.
This is my first attempt, and after reading all the crap on the internet about comtams and fails, I must say I found it to be simpler than people complicate it!! Just keep it sterile and have patience.

Espurr, what ratio do you use, spawn to bulk??? Can h poo lead to contams easier, does there need to be any extra precautions taken? This is my first time and I read it can lead to contams... But I also heard you can get nicer fruits with h poo

nice !!!
i use 50/50 ratio to mix spawn and bulk substrate too but u can certainly use less spawn (which takes more time)
so main thing about horse manure is that it needs to be properly leeched, this is to get the ammonia out of it, and then properly pasteurized
it won't be smelly and it won't be contaminating your substrate any more that coco coir would, if you do the pasteurization right
horse poo is a very rich source for mushrooms (mostly talking about organic fed horses / healthy horses ) but you can also use ostrich manure which is better than horse manure
so over the years i've found there are some ways to boost your work with the mycelium without spending any money, here i use a mix of rye + millets as grain and instead of using distilled water for water content i use a horse manure liquid infusion
so what you do is mix 93g millets + 93g rye + 93g horse manure infusion (boil 50g of horse manure in 2L of distilled water for 60 minutes, top it up to 1L and strain it out to get a blackish liquid) + 36g vermiculite
i put this in jars or spawn bags and PC them in 15 psi for 90 minutes (without soaking or boiling beforehand)
these are turbocharged spawn and your mycelium will love it, better use a mono-culture to get the best yeilds, then when mycelium growth is complete i mix them with 70% horse manure + 30% vermiculite in monotubs and wait for colonization
all this is done in 25C and presence of light doesn't stun mycelium growth
this way is one of the most nutrient rich ways of growing psilocybe cubensis and if you have a good stain that can make use of it (penis envy mono-cultures) you will experience both high yeilds and great potency Thumbs up

What is a mono-culture? Have you ever tried weak coffee or na beer?

a mono-culture is a mycelium cloned from either agar plates or a fruit body where only 1 genetic is present, hence mono
you can google mushroom gene isolation or fruit body cloning etc
and yes, i've tried spent coffee beans but nothing works as good and is as cheap / free as manure !

If everything turns out good with this one I'm gonna take prints and make some liquid culture, and some spore syringes.

Cool, I read about that, heating the exacto, and scraping etc... I think I might need to build a good glove box for that, or a flow hood.

Thanks for the encouragement when I broke the bags apart everything turned blue and I thought I messed up, but the smell was fresh mushrooms and I knew it must be bruising.

a glove box with a spray like epimax or cavacid is great for sterile work, but if you're serious about this you will love a huge flow hood like its your lover Big grin
here is a thread about horse manure leeching and prep https://www.dmt-nexus.me....aspx?g=posts&t=7891
