I made a shotgun fruiting chamber out of a 64 quart tote, it allows me to place my milk crate inside of it. I should have everything in place for the grow. I have a spot picked out for it already on my patio!

My jars are showing signs of myc growth. It may be hard to see in the pictures.

I didnt shake these jars when i inoculated them. I will wait until they are 1/4 way done then ill shake them once to distribute the myc and speed up colonization.

I made a LC using a microwave tek i read on here. I had a couple cc's left of golden mushroom lc left and wanted to make more. I used two layers of tyvek as a lid and held that in place with a rubber band.

It was boiled twice and allowed to cool over night, Then i placed a home made lid on the LC and injected it with 2 ccs of LC.



Here is some daily shots

I'm glad i am doing this much research before i start. i just got my straw sack in, its not going to be near enough. its just two pounds worth.

Even fluffed up that isnt going to be enough. do places like nurseries and home depot carry straw?

The feed store near me has plenty of straw.  Most nurseries around here don't seem to.  A bale of straw is huge though and I've never made it through one before it starts to compost.

Yeah im looking for just a milk crates worth. Dont need any where near a bale because of space issues.

i wonder if there is a wrong type of straw, i see some people use a certain type in their ponds to control algae.

Good luck on your grow man!
If you have some old cardboard and paper waste laying around, you can use that. You put it to good use, recycle, and get away without paying for substrate, it's a win-win! You have enough jars, make some strw bags, some cardboard and see how they compare!
I'll start some golden oysters on cardboard later in the spring, they are one of the rare species resistant to high temps.
Btw, you might find wheat straw in pet shop as rabbit bedding, it's usually relatively expensive, but is probably worth it seeing you don't need much.

ok so as long as its straw the type isnt a problem? I see rabbit straw is alfalfa straw, will that matter at all?

I like the cardboard idea. I was stripping some small squares the other day to test. I Always seem to have a boxes or two laying around that i can recycle.


I am way to cheap to buy poly tubing, so I will have to figure out another kind of bag. Any ideas?

Just spawn to the straw in the burlap bag that it came in.  Works great.

Oh really? can i cook the bag and still use it to grow? would i need to poke any holes in it or will the mushrooms eat through the burlap sack?

My plan is to soapy up some water, then sink the bag in the tub in tub and soak that for 2 hours. Then drain the water out and add a large stock pot of boiling water, maybe two into the tub. Ill leave that to soak over night with a cup of lime.

I will cover it with a lid and a towel and allow it to cool slowly.
After a nights soak, ill take the bag out and place it in a strainer and allow it to drip.

Then i will open the bag, introduce my spawn, mix the hell out of it, and re-tie the bag closed and place that in a tote for colonization.

Question:

How often do i water  the bag? I know i would mist it daily from the outside, but is that enough?

You don't need to soak in pasteurization temps over night.  In fact that will probably be counter productive.  Just do it for 1.5 hours or so.  The oysters will definitely grow through the burlap but if the weave is really tight you could also poke some holes.  This is what mine looked like:

http://chrissyt.smugmug.com/Mushroom2010/Burlap-oyster/15263332_pGvac#1141914845_z6Cfj

Hard to say moisture wise.  I didn't spray mine every day but my bag was pretty big.  if the burlap bag stays soggy it'll only cause contam issues.  It would be better to give it a good wet down less often so the inner straw stays moist but the bag has a chance to dry off.  Mold will have trouble getting a hold of dry burlap.

Awesome, you have taken a bunch off my plate! I will use what i have as a first grow and see if i want to produce a larger crop.

If i like growing the oysters then i will try on a milk crate level, then a laundry basket. That will give me plenty of time to secure straw.

I've been thinking about the straw substrate i will be using, I plan to boil a pot of water, submerge the bag in the water and place a weight on top of it. I'll add a cup of lime and let that cook for an hour at 160 F.

the reason im not using a tub in tub is just because i only have 2.2 pounds to soak and that should fit in my stock pot fine.

I love how much you can recycle stuff in this hobby, i bought some pillows and i get three large humidity tents for free hehe

I would try to follow RR's straw log tek as closely as possible:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12702122#12702122

If you do choose to use a pot on your oven don't put the straw in the boiling water and let the temp come down to 180f so when you add the pre-soaked straw the temp will be around 140-160f.

is it best to remove the straw from the bag and process it like RR does?
