Use

The Compost Mixer works like a Paint Lab, where each db of ingredient gives you 10 clicks, and any remaining ingredient gets left in the Mixer for subsequent batches.

Each ingredient moves the designated value(s) up or down by a different amount. It is unknown yet whether this is consistent for everyone or avatar-dependent.

Starting a batch of Growth Medium takes 100 Compost.

From Malard on Discord:

so i am happy to 'reveal' a few things about compost
so if you just randomly make some compost mixture
the white box shows as Custom Growth Medium
and when you pull it out, its an unknown medium
you can put this into a fungus farm and try and grow any kind of mushroom you want
if your right, and your mixture grows that type of mushroom
then you will tick it off as a known solution
now, when you try and make a mixture that is within the correct range for that mushroom type
the white box will change to say "Toadskin Mushroom Growth Medium"
now when you take it out, you can still take it out as a custom mixture
or as a hard typed growth medium
if you take it out as a hard typed, you can trade it (more easily)
and you can put it into a fungus farm and know what it will output, the yield will also be higher
in this way, you can discover all the solutions to the 49 mushroom types and they become memorised to you as a player
