STRAW LOG TEK QUESTIONS
    #12755863 - 06/16/10 11:36 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hey,

I became interested in the straw log tek about a week ago, and had just two questions.  I was wondering if it would be fine to leave the log in a regular terrarium with perlite after preparation to let it colonize and fruit?  Also, one grower bragged that a 48'' log of his produced 17 lbs of wet mushrooms, and that the preparation time to pinning time was only 14 days.  Is this true?  If so, awesome, but it seems just too good to be true.  (ill post the link to the website)  Any advice from people who have done straw logs would be awesome!!!

Thanks!!!

hey I don't really know much about straw logs, but RR has a great DVD where he does a straw log.  I believe the one he shows colonized fully in 4 days or something like that.

There are previews of the chapters of his video here:

click on laundry baskets/ straw logs.

I think he suggested that it go into a greenhouse setup.

17 pounds wet is very doable with a 48" straw log, provided it's ten inches or more in diameter.  Standard inoculation to pinning(not harvest) is 14 days.

I did a somewhat more detailed writeup on straw logs ten years ago, posted here, which is reposted on shroomery here.

wow, that sounds great.  I cant believe that the great RR commented on one of my posts!!!

Unfortunately, my terrarium can only fit a straw log 36" long, and 6" wide.  Mabe 9-10 lbs or so.  Also, is it acceptable to place the log in a standard glass terrarium lined with perlite?

Thanks!
