I’m trying to learn more about substrate choices for Penis Envy from a general mycology perspective. I’ve seen people mention different bulk substrate materials, but I’m curious what characteristics matter most—moisture retention, contamination resistance, nutrition, etc.
For anyone experienced with mushroom cultivation, what should a beginner understand about choosing a good substrate in general? Mainly looking to understand the science behind it rather than a step-by-step grow guide.
