Shiitake 'Straw Strain' * 1
    #14461375 - 05/16/11 10:32 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Not bad, but not exactly great either. Medium size fruits, excellent flavor, fast to fruit.  These are only 5 days from stripping the bags off after an 8 week incubation. There's new pins forming now, so it doesn't appear to fruit in well-defined flushes, but rather a continuous stream.

Substrate is 50% organic wheat straw with the remaining 50% composed of Alder, Douglas fir, Lodgepole pine and Ponderosa pine sawdust(well aged), plus Douglas fir bark.  Supplemented with gypsum and organic oat bran.  Sterilized.  Inoculated with rye berries at a 1:20 spawn ratio.

Nice, I just went to a small mushroom farm here in Ohio yesterday and we were talking about this (Straw Strain) but the Farmer said he hasnt tried it yet. He uses mostly logs and hardwood sawdust. I didnt know you could use any pine for Shiitake. But im just starting on Shiitake now  got a block off him to start with.

Great photo RR, and thanks for including all the details.  I'm just now getting fruits from my 75 strain, but I may have to try other strains after this to compare.  Unfortunately there's a California outfit that is selling shitake for $4.99 a pound bulk nearby, so that won't be my focus.  But oysters are going for over $20 a pound at the store, and of course kings and others are not even available, so that will have to be my focus for selling.

By comparison, in the next town over from ours, the supermarket is selling the chinese import shiitake for $4.99/3.5 oz.  That works out to be over $20/pound.

75 is an excellent strain, and I still grow it commercially as well.  In fact, half the mushrooms we sell are either 75 or A-10 strains.

It's 'Straw' from alohamedicinals.com

I can only speak for the conditions these were grown under.

Colonization through browning at 70F, 8 weeks. Cold shocked at 40F to 50F for 48 hours. No soak before first flush. Fruiting temperature: 58F to 61F, Humidity: Raise to 95%, and then allow it to drop to 65% to 70% before spraying the crop and bringing the humidity back up to 95% again to repeat the process.  Light: 6500K LEDs on a 12/12 schedule.  Air exchanges:  24/7 fresh air intake, throttled down to keep the CO2 level between 800 and 1000 ppm.

I have a straw shiitake block in the fridge at a temperature of 40F for 48 hours now, do you think that is enough or is better more time for cold shook?

Looking good RR! I have some culture of 3782 on the way and would like to see how they perform on a mix like you are using. Any thoughts on that?

I have yet to locate a source for sawdust in my hometown since moving back recently from Northern Minnesota but the same goes for finding straw bales.

Very interesting datas :thumbup:
I'm now experimenting a 50% wheat straw / 50% oak sawdust substrate with a natural strain called S405 (provided by a Belgium company).
I just put the blocks in my FC after a 48h period in the fridge (at 6-7°C), I will see how it goes.
This strain can give fruits until 24°C, but I keep the temperature inside my FC at 19-20°C.

I cannot get organic straw or hulls and I was wondering if you would potentially sell it to me and ship it? Anyway possible? I am located in the United states..
