Yes, cut down on the bran, especially if you're growing the 75 strain.  Use the recipe in Let's Grow Mushrooms for other wood lovers such as reishi, lion's mane, oyster, nameko, etc.  You want it quite a bit below field capacity for shiitake 75.  If you can squeeze even one drop out, it's too wet.

Shiitake strains are all completely different animals.  I have some that won't fruit indoors, but move them outside in similar temperatures and they fruit fine.  Others prefer Alder, while still others won't fruit on Alder, but love Douglas fir. :shrug:

wish I'd seen this thread a few days ago, i used RR's video tek for my 75, I've got a few more jars ready tho, so gonna give the straw / sawdust a try:thumbup:

Do i have nay chance of fruiting 75 with lows of 45 F at night, day time is around 55 F or is that too cold? Maybe i need to move my set up indoors with the onset of a British winter looming, how do other UK growers fair in winter?

I just spawned my bags on 10-10-10 with 50/50 SD/straw gypsum and bran. Looks like were about on the same time schedule, will be good to compare notes.

I have 40bags 12-16cups each in various stages of colonization in the first 12 bags are over supplemented the next 12 are a lot less supplemented and the rest are even less supplemented.

I have 4 with way too much water in them but they have colonizated almost as quick as the others!

I am about 2 weeks (if I can wait that long) to fruiting the first batch. there is 1 that has fruits already...:mushdance:

so for 2 spawn bags should I be using

16cups Sawdust
8cups straw or woodchips
2/3cups rice bran
1/2cups gypsum

the first time I did the bags I only used sawdust but felt like the bags got too compacted. I might try it again tomorrow when I get my 2nd batch for the week




cheers for working that out, Im just doing two bags like this, do i take it the PC'ing times remain the same, or can you go down to 1 1/2 hour seeing as theres no woodchips in? Im doing 2  reg size bags all thats fits in my cooker.

I usually do 2hours but I have done the 90 min many times with no contams

also now I am doing sawdust only bags so instead of using 16 cups of sawdust I use 24 but I leave the supplementation the same

I am keeping track of all that I am doing so when I finally get a nice harvest I will post the whole thing!

I did my bags for 5 hours :foreheadslap: A 4 liter bag in a 6 liter pc is a tight fit though. Better safe than sorry.

On another note, I got some almost red looking colors in or around my myc, I'm not sure. I know that my sawdust is not all hardwood so might this have something to do with it? I'll post some pics on a bit to let you guys have a look. My memory card is full so I got to put it on the pc real quick.
