Will this seed work as a substrate?

Recommended Posts

Coles budgie seed mix, will it work. Its pretty cheap at about $6 for 5kg.

Contents:

Panicum

White french millet

Wheat

Sorghum

Red panicum millet

Shell grit

I'm assuming once sterilised the shel grit won't be a problem? :unsure:

The seeds all look fine, the shell-grit may actually be a positive as oyster (and other) shells are primarily calcium-based and good for mushies. Give it a try and see how it goes, grain is cheap (as are spores/cultures).

cook in small volumes - for example 1/2 to 2/3 fill a jar only with cooked grain

as a newb youre more lily to succeed sterilising then colonising small volumes than going all out
