does ryhe flour work as a substrate instead of brown rice flour? it has no preservatives and it isnt bleached!THANKS

I'm no expert. But I have had heard (and had good results with) that buying brown rice flour from a store is not as good as buying organic brown rice and then grinding it in a coffee grinder (shaking it while grinding to help it get really powdery). I guess that it can loose many nutrients after its ground by sitting and being moved around a lot. Maybe just how the stores or manufacturers do it but my mycelium seems to grow much quicker and healthier when I grind it up at home then when (the first time) i just bought the brown rice flour.

well the only difference i can see between rhy flour and brown rice flour is that ones fine chopped rice and one is a finely chopped wheat. the reason ya want it organic is because you dont want it bleached or added with preservatives. so as long as the rhye flour is unbleached and preservative freee i shouldnt experience problems?? maybe??

if the store doesnt keep the BRF in a fridge, just keep walking....
If you realy want a mean substrate makeing some super healthy fungi, try and find any purple corn or grains.

can u break up your substrate and case it using rhye flour and verm, or does that only work with grains as substrate???

What are you talking about??
None of the BRF I've bought has been refrigerated, and all of it has worked fine for me.
Where do you get your info?
since when is flour refrigerated?

Pre ground BRF works just fine!
Stop speculating, if you do not know the answer just say so!

Every decent health store I visit keeps it cooled... that is how rice flour is supposed to be stored... google it...
