Im running almost the same as you i reckon from wat i see there..
I used composted manure, cap of gogo juice, cple tbl spoon of molasses cap of seaweed and few caps of blood an bone meal. Main thinkin was to add stuff that will help raise nitrogen levels.

A compost tea is totally different to a nutrient tea, compost tea is all about biology and has basically no nutrient value.

As anything, it's just the left over substrate that shrooms have been grown in and all the residual chemicals used for growing them so it's basically rubbish

That surprises me as I have a mushroom farm near me and when they get rid of their compost cars and trailers line up.

i agree thats why i did say 1 hand full in like 50 ltrs of rain water

you could also use baileys compost, or whatever

 

[Lucky Luke]

i never even thought of residue.

I'd say he'd still be involved with them but it's a pretty sweet looking job over there.
