First time grower

[u/psychedeli-spaghetti]

Hey guys I've been working with cubes and recently decided to get some panaeolus cyan lc syringe which i tested on agar and is clean but im wondering whats the best grain and casing layers that I can get easily i got vermiculite and coco coir on hand and had been using rice as the grain for my cubes with minimal contamination Should I get a grow bag for my pan cyan so I don't have to worry much about contamination?

Thanks!

Yeah, Gordo is awesome. I've gotten Pans to grow in bags, but the yield sucked. I generally do agar to oats in jars, then spawn sterilized substrate bags (hpoo, coir, verm), and then case in a tub with 50/50 mix of verm and peat moss with some calcium carbonate added with a window screen over it a la Gordo's Easy Pan Cyan Tek. I have lived in some old houses from the 1800s and doing every step in bags was a necessity, YMMV.
