First time growing gourmet mushrooms
    #14184155 - 03/25/11 09:20 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hi All,

First off - with the exception of a lone post back in 08 it's been about 9 years since I've been active on this site. I'm glad to see the Shroomery is still around. It's been years since I've grown psilocybes but I'd like to put my knowledge of the PF tek to work and grow gourmet mushrooms. I'd love to have fresh mushrooms to use in making risotto.

Has anyone had success growing gourmet mushrooms using the PF tek, or a modified PF Tek by crumbling the colonized cakes and casing them with coir or other material? If so, what type of mushrooms do well with this method?

Forgive me if there have been other posts like this but I wasn't able to find any doing a quick search. If there are similar threads feel free to point me to them.

Thanks, and it's good to be back!

Honestly can't say about growing gourmet mushrooms using the PF tek. I started growing Lion's Mane, Reishi, And King Stropharia spawn using RogerRabbit's Rye tek. So fast and easy, I never had any desire to try out the PF tek. I have lots of wheat bran and wood chips, as well as vermiculite and coir for experimenting with substrates. I'll probably stick to wheat bran mixed with wood chips in autoclavable bags, that should run well as soon as these jars are finished colonizing.

I certainly don't mean to knock the PF tek, I think it's a wonderful tek and I love to see people's PF cake grows. I think it's worth considering a grain tek though. Just a thought.

Good luck on your grows, you should take lots of pictures and post them up for us to see :thumbup:

(I should, too, come to think of it...)

RR shows in his video's growing lion's mane, as well as shiitake on PF style cakes..but replaces the verm with sawdust..

I'm doing my first attempt now of shiitake,(pf cakes like RR's video) as well oysters on sawdust/bran

I always nocc up grains and spawn to straw for oysters..
