I can’t express how grateful I am for how much I have learned from this channel. This is another great example of a video jammed with amazing info. I have been wondering about the nutritional content of substrates and how to achieve the right recipe for a while. Thank you 🙏 -Dave

Thank you for all your help the q&a last night helped me so much.

Thank you for sharing Willy! Your videos have helped me tremendously 🙏🏽🍄🙏🏽

thank you for always sharing your incredible knowledge and time willy

Thx for doin whatcha do, you've been a big inspiration in start up of my channel

Animals don't eat straw they lay on the straw. They eat hay. You are a good dude. Thanks for all the help

Thanks Willy...always appreciate your vids and great to hear about the blend. I'm going to try some pans in it.

Keep killing it brother. We need to connect at somepoint on a personal level!!! Love the work.

New sub here, finally someone that knows what up so much useful info in your vids

I didnt know u before but now im fascinated by your work and by mycology itself. Thx for that

Great video!! I always learn something new watching your video's. Thank you for sharing excellent info! Great teachers are the one's who love what they are teaching about, you are a great teacher!!

I use coir and verm hydrated with warm water straight out of my tap and the results speak for themselves. Never had any fruits lacking potency or any unhealthy ones. This is just my input and what works for me. I always say do what works for you

Great information. Thank you.

Thanks for the info bro.. I’m new and using your all in one blend..

Just bought 25lbs can't wait to try it

You're the man willy the scholarship program is next fucking level.

Do you use gypsum(CaSO4) and powdered oystershells (CaCO3) at the same time in a substrate or are they replacements for each other?

Hello, thank you very much for these videos. I have a question, how could I lower the temperature inside my monotub? I have mixed my mycelium with a substrate made with coconut fiber, vermiculite and horse poop. and now i'm getting temperatures of 86ºF i don't know whether to put it in the tub with lots of ice. It is in the process of fructification, I don't know if I should start to ventilate it. Regards, and thank you very much.

Do I have to add millet or grain to your substrate or is it ready to go as is? Also do I grow out of the bag or so I put it in Tupperware/totes?

Thank you for the video 👍 I did not hear what is the ratio for oyster shell ?

Love the hoodie 🔥🍄❤️

WILLY! awesome :)

Are you recommending all these add-ons in conjunction or one at a time

Your my man I will be reaching out to you you will see my grow soon

Hey willy, how much oyster do we add and do we use it in tandem with gypsum, thanks

Just starting out just a quick question. oyster shell and gypsum are they the same thing in the mushroom world or can I add both or just oyster shell is the best option?

Just subscribed. I like your style of thinking. Maximizing nutrients for a real proper product. I'm about to start my first time growing 🍄 for educational purposes of course... I'm going to make a substrate with maybe 5-7 items you've mentioned in this video and other things I've read. I feel that will be the icing on the cake. PUN intended.

Thank you very much Willy. Everything was very clear but except how much would small increments of bat guano be like what %?

You should mention Willy's Blend in every video. I've watched 10 vids and just now finding out and only cause I watched this vid til the end and I'm glad I did.

Should we add oyster shell powder AND gypsum, or is it one or the other??

Appreciate the video. Just out of curiosity, would you pick one of these boosters, or can you add them all? Some of them tend to overlap with what they provide, no? Thanks a lot for your help!

Love you chit brother!!!

THANK YOU!

Great video willy! #TTF

Love your vids, hope your good

Can this be added to a pasteurized coco substrate , say if you autoclave the straw and other micronutrients or would it contaminate. MUSH LOVE

Was there any mention of the ammount of oyster shell to use? Ive watched a couple times and cant find it

Love you brother.

Hi Willy thanks for the videos.... I am new to all of this, and your videos have been extremely help full, This one was priceless as I have chickens so i have oyster shell avaliable to add to my substrate as well as spent coffee grounds. I read that Alfalfa pellets are also good to use.... Any suggestions on how to prepare them for use in substrate? Good stuff thanks again....

I for real need to up my substrate game after watching this 😂. I'll have to check out that scholarship too, I happen to be going to college for cannabis sciences and mycology 😁

I have been adding a little bit of bat Guano to my substrate instead of coffee grounds with good results.

How much of the oyster shell and bat guano do you recommend adding? I'm sorry if I missed it, but after checking twice and looking it up online I had to ask.

Will this make the mushrooms more potent or just increase yields?

Im wondering whether bonemeal is a great additive or not, since it contains calciumphosphate as a calcium source, also does it contain nitrogen.

I have had the best results with a simple whole grain brown rice and verm spawn to coir substrate at a 1:1 ratio. It works for me cause it colonizes fast and works good in my monotub.

So can I add oyster shells to cvg? If so how much? I'm a few days from making a new batch of substrate

New to mycology, was wondering if rabbit droppings were a good option?

Willy, I purchased a 5gallon bucket of dry “WILLYS MIX” from Brown Treasure. What is your recommendation for rehydrating?

Do you believe white vinegar added to the water would benefit and help with contamination?

Would trichaderma (

Thanks so much

Hey Willy, I'm fairly new to growing mushrooms and I have had some success with gourmet mushrooms but I would like to branch out a little. Is there a way I can contact you to purchase some of your genetics from your library? Also I want to tell you thank you very much, seriously thank you for all the effort, care and reliable knowledge you put in your videos. I greatly appreciate the way you breakdown everything and explain your reasons for your process and what you're doing. Thank you.

When I'm using oyster shell, should I swap it for the gypsum?

I just buy calcium carbonate from the same hardware store where I buy my gypsum. Oyster shells are like 10 times+ the price of just regular calcium carbonate. It’s also powdered beforehand. :) I have a question, though. Gypsum is mostly calcium as well. Couldn’t you just use more gypsum and omit the oyster shells/calcium carbonate altogether, or would that add too much sulfate to the mixture?

I learned so Much. Thank u. I live close to a bat cave .I use guno with my 420.plants

How much substitute do I need to put down in 60 quart trays for example one inch or one gallon?

Willy, would you utilize the same substrate additives to a straw based substrate for straw lovers? I have some dehydrates organic straw pellets to start with as a base. Thanks in advance for any guidance you could provide.

Hey bro, is this substrate made of all organic ingredients? And do you know how it compares to fungstrate?

With bat guano should it be fruit bat or insect bat? That being high nitrogen or high potassium type?

You mention bat guano... Have you done anything or know of substrate that have used insect frass for cordiceps?

hey Willie thanks so much for your content , quick question ... if adding the oyster shell what ratio should I be using ?

Hey, I’m really hoping somehow I could talk to you for a second. I am noticing that in a compost pile full of Pineneedles it’s very acidic and it’s getting rid of all the contaminated stuff that I put out there. I haven’t tried to harvest it because I’m kind of scared to, but it’s actually growing clean mycelium, or what looks to be in the Pineneedles

can I use some of these methods with cordyceps militaris as well I want to use something else than brown rice, nutritional yeast, and malt extract

Nice to see someone printing quality hoodies and not GIldan. So many people charge $35+ for a $4 hoodie and $0.25 worth of ink. also kinda wanna try azomite in a blend and maybe insect frass for cordyceps.

I'm planning on trying oyster shells in next grow...Does it need sterilizeing as i got from a pet shop...I made a flour in a grinder.

Do the Willys blend manure substrate have straw in it? Will it work for Pan Cyans?

Okay I've got my hands on, oyster chells, bat guano, and worm casings.. question, how much of each roughly should I add to my Coco coir? TIA!😊

So the bat guano, worm castings and coffee that are all nitrogen rich are ok in the substrate all together and it's not to much new to mycology but use a lot of the same shit in my soil's I use for other things and I know to much nitrogen is bad for them is it the same for the fruits of the mycelium?

so i think i did the straw thing wrong ... i didnt rinse it . i Just threw it in a hot pot of water ( same one i add to my bucket tek.) after chopping it up in a blender. I held it at 170 for an hour, then boiled the water with the straw real quick and threw it in the bucket for coco coir bucket tek.... should I have used clean water ? or is straw juice okay?

Thank you

Hello Willy What about egg shell instead of oyster shell? I can't find oyster shell in my country... :( And what % of shell? Thank you very much.

Dope following !!! Thanks

Have you ever used calcitic lime and what do you think about it?

how much of each should you add in general you only gave the measurements for the gypsum

Is the brown treasure willys blend the same substrate willy uses himself for actives?

Dear Willy, I am charmed by your personality and the content of your channel. I am very happy that with my passion I just came across you. I really hope you can find the time to answer my elementary question. Should the additives you mention be added before sterilization, or mixed with already colonized grain?

Regarding the oyster shell supplementation: would you also add 5% dryweight of the oyster shells just like if it was gypsum?

Awesome video per usual! What’s your oyster shell percentage? I’ve heard 1-2% which does not contribute to your overall weight, just like gypsum. I want to make sure since this sounds like the substrate boost I needed. Thanks

I think you have straw and hay mixed up. Hay is much more nutritious and is what is typically fed to livestock as a food source. (in my region it’s alfalfa or clover) and straw (wheat stalks after the wheat has been harvested ) is used for livestock bedding and animals can eat it but it’s typically used as a fiber source and to thin out high nutrient stuff like oats or for weight loss. note is straw is almost 100% gmo and has revived typically 2 doses of roundup (glyphosate) In a typically season along with a broad spectrum herbicide.

Hi Willy, Can you just use oyster instead of gypsum?

My people used eggshell in there home garden can this apply to this also?

What percentage of "powdered oyster shell" to add to the bulk substrate? You didn't say in the video. Thank you :)
