I had a bit of grain left during my last run, so I mixed the bits I had left.
This is interesting, actually. Over the next few months, I’ll continue this experiment to see what grain mixes might work better for spawn.
While this wasn’t a “proper” test, I had still hypothesized that the higher starch content in the popcorn would do better. I guess not.
I’ll try and separate testing into different categories like starch content, moisture content, mycelium strain, etc. There is probably a ton more conditions to isolate as well.
Just ran six jars of popcorn through my instapot yesterday and will be inoculating today with my first run of popcorn. Ordered rye but it is weeks out and didn’t want to wait so go some popcorn from the bulk section of my grocery store. Interesting to see the mix. By left over, did you do a grain to grain transfer or just mix the two as you didn’t have enough at home to fill all the jars you had?
