Partner Highlight: Pacific Substrates

Posted by The Mushroom Champ on Aug 10th 2024

We are excited to highlight our partnership with Pacific Substrates. This is a collaboration that aligns with our mission and enhances our ability to bring the best products to our community.

Elevating Mycology Together

Pacific Substrates shares our commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of mycology. Their dedication to producing high-quality substrates is evident in every batch they create, and we are proud to incorporate their products into our cultivation processes. One of their standout offerings is the "Paddy Poo Dry Mix," an substrate mix that has transformed our cultivation methods.

The Paddy Poo Dry Mix

The Paddy Poo Dry Mix from Pacific Substrates is a meticulously crafted blend of essential ingredients, including:

  • Coco coir
  • Vermiculite
  • Gypsum
  • Lime
  • Worm castings
  • Composted horse and cow manure

This unique combination provides a nutrient-rich, balanced environment for mushroom growth. As we experimented with different substrate recipes, we found this mix to be the best solution, offering ease of use and consistent results.

How We Use It

In a recent video, we showcased the simplicity and effectiveness of the Paddy Poo Dry Mix. We start by taking several buckets of the mix and adding them to our cement mixer. After adding water, we use a drill to ensure thorough mixing. This method replicates the high-quality substrate we used to prepare by hand, but with greater efficiency and consistency.

Our partnership with Pacific Substrates represents a significant step forward in our mission to explore, educate, and elevate the world of mycology. By integrating their high-quality substrates into our processes, we are able to provide our community with the best possible products and results. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and discovering new ways to harness the healing power of fungi.
