King Oyster Grow
    #13734215 - 01/05/11 10:50 AM (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hello friends,

This is a part of my king oyster grow for this new year. These are done on sawdust and bran in Grow bags as per Stamets. These have been a little slow to take off because our temps are so warm down here in south Texas. The cool part is, in the last 2 days these little guys have taken off and are growing like crazy. Our humidity is about 100% right now, feels like you're in a cloud, even though the temps are still in the 70's. As well, my FAE is very high since my FC's are open completely now. The thing that was made most aware to me was what Stamets wrote about the fragility of mushrooms in their growing, and that changing parameters by a few points one way or the other can oftentimes delay or prevent mushrooms from forming. I know some species are more tolerant of variations though.

I have other kings colonizing on heavy straw right now as well.

Here is a Youtube vid that shows a Taiwanese lady with a successful commercial business growing nothing but King Oyster.

that it is. she has it done right too. everything automated. way to go.
i like the way the trimming is done to keep size in line with her requirements for marketing. very slick. too bad they seem to waste a lot of material.

the trimming off of the smaller pins is a masterstroke eh, must be getting much higher yeilds and bigger shrooms. Class set up, mind blowing.

How long it take to get full colonization? I clone mine of newspaper for three months. I get around 60~70% colonization.  IS it possible that newspaper doesn't have enough nutrient for them to grow rapidly?

Growing nothing but kings would be boring as fuck...

Anyway great job houdinihar!.  Remember, if you want those bigguns you gonna have to do straw/alfalfa poly tubes!

newspaper grows are slow anyhow, and don't ever produce much.  Only way to use it well is to chop it into bits and mix with 10-20% bran/cottonseed meal, hydrate right, then PC for 4hrs in bags.

Thanks for the tip Buckeye Oysters.
I, too think it would be boring, but if it is a cash cow, who can complain, especially if you have don't have to do it all by yourself? That's part of the good side of being the owner or manager. You can delegate if you want to.
