Now look carefully, what don;t you see..... mushrooms
The tek is purely to innoculate corn (grains) with fungi.
As I tried to explain you could either use the corn itself as a medium to grow the shrooms, rye is better but more expensive.
But the ultimate goal of using grains is to spawn into another medium like horsepoop, or what have you. The smaller the grain, the more seeding points there are when spawning to the final medium.
Using straight corn, you can layer some verm in an icecream tub, then add your colonised corn, break it up so you get an even layer and then add about a quarter inch of moist verm on top to seal it all in and keep the moisture in. Put this into your fruiting chamber.
Do not try to make cakes from corn, it sucks...

Ive heard corn dosnt have enough nutrients, or at least not enough variety of nutrients. although i have used pop corn mixed with rye. rye is awesome, going from bird seed to rye, bird seed is just messy and nasty in comparison. and takes forever to dry a little before loading jars. but bird seed is cheap, and it works!
Dont forget to rinse the crap out of whatever grain you decide to use, till the water runs clear. then soak them for 24 hours. then rinse again till clear.
