  • The following is a combination of features adapted from Baba Yaga's manure water Tek, Mateja's coir/BRF recipe, PF Tek, V.L's EF-Tek, and in-vitro bottle Tek.
    Manure tea will be used to hydrate the coir/verm/brf recipe to avoid the requirement for grain spawn and to take advantage of all ingredient's ability to be steam-sterilized at atmospheric pressure in the same way we would process PF-Tek jars in a pot.
    I will be using my 23q Presto with the lid on but without the jiggle weight to steam, any large pot with a tight lid will suffice.
    The intention is to produce a new yet familiar method for fruiting intermediate coprophilous species.
    Substrate recipe:
    2 parts Coir, 1 part BRF, 1/2 part vermiculite
    2.5 parts tea: by volume.
    Break up the manure into the water, allow to "steep" for 1 hour to create manure "tea", strain with mesh screen, then use to hydrate the CVB substrate.
    Add the manure tea to the coir/verm first, then stir in the brown rice flour (BRF).
    Testing 2 jars at 90 minutes and 2 at 120 minutes with atmospheric steam, with a 5th being sterilized at 15psi for 60 mins.
    Once the cycle duration has been confirmed, the substrate will be cased for future runs with a 50/50 peat/vermiculite casing layer buffered with hydrated lime. This is intended to be an all-in-one in-vitro tek, which may later be adapted to bags and formed into trays much like Fahsters ziploc FC-Tek but run in myco bags.
