Oyster Straw Basket Help RR tek
    #14362910 - 04/27/11 06:48 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Where do I store my straw laundry baskets?
What are they supposed to smell like?
What temperature is the room supposed to be kept at?

I'm starting to notice a wet hay smell.  Is that normal?  good / bad?

I really don't want them to contam, I think they do need more air like everyone says.

I don't want to drill holes in my buckets, let me know what to do, can I use plastic sheeting with holes?

This is proof of concept for oyster mushroom production so I'd like to know all the details of what you think and why.

I followed  RR laundry basket tek exactly.

Other details
I'm using blue oyster mushroom spawn. 1 gallon of white millet spawn per basket.

Round 1 bushel laundry baskets.

My straw was already in 6" pieces so I didn't shred it further.

I added 3/4 pint of gypsum pellets per basket.

Baskets were stored at 65F-70F for 48-72 hours.

Where should I store these baskets and what are they supposed to smell like.  It has been 2 days, the mycellium is exploding everywhere, from a few kernels that show on the outside, most of the spawn kernels are in the center of the basket like RR suggests.  I have each 1 bushel round basket in a large round 18 gallon tote, they have been like that for 48-72 hours loosely covered with plastic.

I'm starting to notice a wet hay smell.  Is that normal?  good / bad?

How should I store these baskets, out in the open,, or drill holes in the containers I'm keeping them in. or loosely drape plastic with holes in it over them.

any comments will help

Using millet and straw due to economics of growing edible mushrooms for the wholesale produce market.

millet is 30 cents per pound and straw is 6$ / bale...

Also is anyone spawning colonized straw to straw?  That would potentially save a lot of money.  Anyone tried that?
