sporebank

i got some of that horse dung (5lbs) and sum PES hawaiian and i have it in a attic that is 87 degrees and is reallly humid. but its been over a month and still no mycelium. i dont know if that shit is as good as they say or i didnt something wrong. i didnt stick the needle all the way in the middle of the dung i barley put it in but i dont think that had anything to do with it

Why not just pf-tek?

Was it pre-pasteurized or did you do it yourself?

Just to be clear you nocc'd up some horse poo for bulk spawn and it didn't colonize?

If it's been a month then the endospores from all the bad microrganisms that you killed with the pasteurization will have germinated and the myc won't be able to colonize anyway.

So i guess re-pasteurize the poo, maybe make a lc to save your spores and try again with like 20ml of lc.

BTW...what does the title have to do with this thread?

So it's worth the effort?

pf tek is way worth the effort you can get an ounce dry from 7-8 pf cakes

Or you can steralize the same number of jars, except quart jars half full with birdseed, use the same amount of whatever innoculation solution, be colonized faster, and instead of birthing spawn to poo/straw in a monotub and forget about it for a couple weeks...as opposed to fanning, making sure the humidity is right and whatever bullshit. Stack 2 and pull in a few pounds in 2 sq ft of floorspace.

Once you go bulk you never go back, and if you can grow pf tek then you can do bulk...you'll just have to trade that vegetable steamer in for a PC
