Alpaca poo?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with alpaca poo and mushrooms. As I understand it they have a few stomachs so the whole rumination deal is not too far off cows I'm guessing? To my logic that means alpaca paddocks should be a friendly place for mycelial fruiting?

If you have spare spores it can't hurt to distribute in their water troughs. It wouldn't take long for the whole area to become active... if alpaca poo is suitable.

Roo poo works too, watch out for Q-Virus though.

I have heard of that working with horses and cattle, so it could be a goer.

 

Another more direct way would be to make a spore mass slurry from whole shrooms and then spread the magic on a few piles of alpaca shit and see what comes up over the next few weeks. Now would be a perfect time to do that anywhere north of the Karuah mountains that gets adequate rainfall, In this weather possibly even a lot further south.
