I have chickens, who create quite a bit of poop I can use to grow mushrooms, but I’m not sure how to pasteurize/sanitize it. I was thinking pressure cooker?
I ordered some spore syringes and I’m not sure if i should get premade bags with injection ports or if I should make my own bags. It’s the same cost to buy bags and a used instant pot, and I already have coco coir. Once I get some mushroom colonies going I was planning on keeping it going by breaking it up and mixing it with fresh substrate, but I don’t want to keep buying pasteurized manure.
How do people do this? I’m very new
It’s more sanitary to use (compost, mulch, chipped branch wood, green manures), and mineral supplements.
yeah but if you’re already abusing animals, why not exploit them right down to the shit they produce.
Even if I’m pasteurizing in a pressure cooker?? What are green manures? What kind of mineral supplements?
