Champost or "spent mushroom compost" is a by-product of mushroom cultivation. It is a mixture of mushroom substrate and casing soil. The mushroom substrate consists of horse manure, straw, chicken manure, gypsum and water. The casing soil is composed of peat and lime and lies on top of the substrate.
