FOAF wants to use worm castings as bulk subsrate per this tek, however... this FOAF hasn't grown the mycelium in a medium spawn bag (the unit of measure for volume of spawn to use in the tek), the FOAF used pint jars.

After using the forum search function (why so inefficient?), nothing was produced.

FOAF looked online to determine volume of medium spawn bag, converted this to cups, and got 27.something cups, or about 13.something-else pints. Somewhat disconcerting considering the amount of spawn available to this FOAF. Of course it occured to this FOAF that the tek could be manipulated with cunning to fit the amount of spawn available, but this FOAF wanted to hear from people who have used medium spawn bags.

Does anyone have, from personal experience, an estimate for how much spawn (in cups) is yielded by a medium spawn bag?
