Yes thats how the make them. Not sure about the 50%, but seems right. I started with those kits and many sites also give that as instruction for growing mushs. You could just grow them without any substrate, from the grain only. The verm is for extra moisture to get better yield and larger fruits. N... View More

Thats exactly how the growkits are built. Perlite at the bottom to keep moisture, grains in the middle and then a casing of vermiculate

It is very difficult to try and identify cobweb mould from your photo's, I posted a link for you yesterday to enable you to make your own informed decision. Please see another link below, which is more detailed and complete with photos. If you are going to grow mushroom it might be a good idea for y... View More

Why such a complicated recipe? 10g agar, 7g LME and 500ml water should get it done

Sladds recommended to me that i soak a towel in peroxide (3%) and lay it over the afftected area over night. Worked like a charm. I ended up drenching a paper towel in peroxide and layed it over the whole shabang for the night, followed by a day and a half of peroxide misting to be extra sure. No mo... View More

Normally cobweb happens from moisture; however you choose to treat your sub, make sure you adjust the moisture content-air it out. This week, I misted a tub two sprays too many-had the fuzzy feet, and all I did was open the lid for a few hours to air out. Worked like a charm. Cobweb a bit differentl... View More

I never use casing (also very new, 3 successful fruiting attempts) but definitely need your sube to be below your fae holes or you wont get fae there. Good luck buddy!

I don’t case either unless they’re snow white and at a stand still. Come over to Shroomin 2.0
