2b Posted July 20, 2005 If you followed the PF Tek , including the organic rice , would the resulting mushrooms be organic ? If not which part of the process is un-organic ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloodbob Posted July 20, 2005 You would probably have to the check the brown rice was organically grown. Umm also the use or peroxide or lysol or anything would make it non-organic most likely so you would be limited to auto-claving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benzito Posted July 20, 2005 I believe Vermiculite is 'exploded mica', make of that what you will. I have no idea how they explode it. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted July 22, 2005 Hehe, I think 'expanded' is the word they use. I don't know how they do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
botanika Posted July 22, 2005 i think they explode mica with high pressure steam... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloodbob Posted July 22, 2005 Yeah it should be a physical process rather then a chemical one so it should be fine to use in an organic product as far as I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
