Oyster
    #14305135 - 04/17/11 08:52 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I understand that most people add grain sapwn to straw when doing oyster. Is it ok to just add Agar plate mycelium straigth into the straw as it consumes it fast along the way?

How is the yield?

Yield isn't the problem.  The problem is that you're missing the point of each stage of cultivation.  It's a process where you slowly build your culture out to larger and larger volumes until you are ready to fruit.

So for instance you take an agar slant, transfer it to a quart of rye grain and let it fully colonize, then spawn to straw.  Or if you want more do a grain to grain step to expand your culture out.  You're not going to save time by going from agar -> straw.  You're just going to increase contams because it's going to take a million years (hyperbole) for the substrate to fully colonize.  Yield will be the same for the same strain but again that's not really the point.
