Chemical analysis of different inoculation cereals: rice, rye, barley – which has the best C:N ratio?
Chemical analysis of different inoculation cereals: rice, rye, barley – which has the best C:N ratio?
In the vast landscape of mycoculture, the choice of inoculation substrate is a crucial decision that can determine the success or failure of an entire crop. Among the various available options, cereals have emerged as the preferred propagation medium due to their chemical composition, physical structure, and ability to support mycelial growth. This article aims to conduct an in-depth and detailed analysis of three cereals widely used in mycoculture: rice, rye, and barley. This focus is on their carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio, a key parameter that directly influences mycelial development, colonization rate, and final crop yield.
