Aloha Shiitake Strains?
    #13700340 - 12/29/10 11:20 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

Just received my order with the 75, CS2, 720, and straw strain. I know RR has done some extensive testing with many of the Aloha strains and said he will have a writeup soon, but I'm curious if anyone has impressions of these strains. Each of course has their own characteristics, I'd like to compile a rudimentary list of parameters though if possible.

75: Foolproof, fruits off anything short of all out neglect.

CS2:

720: Extreme cold weather strain?

Straw:


Also as a side note I plan to (I know it's not ideal) grow with straw, any input on which is most suited to indoor growth 70-75 degrees and on straw logs (I know blocks are preferred)? This Spring when the weather warms to a steady 50 I plan to put some Stor-Pods on my front enclosed porch and grow there as well.

CS2: A good mid-temperature range strain.  Fruits well on hardwood sawdust.  Produces small, but tasty fruits and lots of them.

720: Wouldn't even fruit last summer, no matter what I tried.  Once the substrates had been frozen solid for a few weeks, they fruit very well.  Excellent taste and texture.  Small fruits like CS2, but more of them.

Straw:  Somewhat larger fruits.  Fast to colonize and brown.  Fruits on hard and soft woods mixed with straw.  On plain straw it fruited, but it does better when straw is combined with sawdust.  Taste is good, but not as good as CS2 and 720.  This strain reminds me a lot of Shiitake 75.

For use on straw, try shiitake 75, and straw strain. 

The problem with straw logs is when you pasteurize straw, it's hard to add cereal bran without it contaminating before full colonization.  I think you might do better with shredded straw in filter patch bags, supplemented with rice bran and sterilized.  If you use straw logs, use a higher spawn rate so you get the supplementation from your grains.
