Substrate ok even after dried?

[Mantisfan101]

I made some fermented substrate a while ago and managed to rear some tityus and pelidnota on it. I still have the substrate but it’s all dried out now and I was wondering if it’s still ok to use? Should I try and re-ferment it? I plan on using it with lucanus elaphus

Should be fine if you moisturize it again. Unless something like fungus gnats or other pests have got to it before you and it ate most of the nutrients already (which would only degrade quality).

They should be fine. If your soil is dry, just rehydrate it. It won’t ruin the rotten wood.
