King stropharia casing
    #14134687 - 03/17/11 12:37 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I cannot find much on king stropharia grows. I've got a small 6x12x8 (WxLxH) with 4" of king stropharia colonized coir/verm and I was wondering if casing it would be a good idea and what would be recommended. I've got a sgfc to fruit it in, but I was also curious if I could just fruit it in the tub kind of like the bucket o shrooms tek. I really appreciate any help I can get on this because I'm really looking forward to eating the suckers! Hoping to transfer the spent substrate to the garden as well.

Thanks for the help :laugh:

Yes, casing layer is mandatory. Pasteurized peat/vermiculite, just peat, peat-based potting soil all work well, and you should add some garden soil (before pasteurization) to the casing layer to introduce the microorganisms necessary to induce fruiting.
I think I saw only one report of successful indoor SRA fruits, and in that case the casing layer was left to "age" for a month outside.
But good luck!

The instructions that came with my kit said to use "garden dirt" lol.  I ended up using bags of topsoil from the store.  No pasteurizing or anything - just dumped it on.  I dug around in there a couple days ago because I cannot resist checking and the myc is going crazy.

Good luck with yours!

Hey Tangich,

I agree.  I read, in GGMM I believe, that one should do
a "low pasteurization" (perhaps my term) where the temp
is kept closer to 120-140 F so as protect some of the
desired microorganisms.

Take care,

JD

Be patient you'll be fine. And Mixing verm with your substrate is excellet for all species as it adds a CAC'ing effect.
