Also, if you didn't combine it with vermiculite or some other course non-nutritious material, even if it does fully colonize... The mushrooms will not grow properly upon fruiting and will likely end up in a mess of aborts.

But kudos on the other one! That should provide you with a good amount for yourself, but I'd recommend you look into casing it if you want to get more bang for your buck (or pound, rather).

Good luck!

I did pasteurize it, only for about 30-40 mins. However, i didn't use correct substrate as you said, so yeah, i doubt if it will take off. Well, at least iv got the other one, and i have learned from my mistakes.
