Wheat vs rye grain spawn.
    #14462792 - 05/16/11 03:38 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I am a newbie at this so please bear with me.

I have caned food for years have 2 23 Q PC and
experience using them. I have never grown mushrooms
except from a colonized straw bag that I bought off
the internet.

I would like to grow Oysters. I would like to practice
growing with scalability in mind, that is if I ever went
completely nuts and tried to grow in some volume. I would
already be used to that method.

So with that in mind I realize that rye is the preferred grain.
But where I live (Central California) its just not available.
I could probably get some on the internet but with wheat I can
get an almost unlimited amount in less than 1/2 an hour at a max
price of $14 a 50lb bag.

So on a small (Very small :smile: scale operation would the performance difference be worth the supply/cost problem of rye?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

different cultivators use different grains with success

i have never tried rye, some say its the best
but have tested wheat, oats wild bird seed
wild bird seed works great for me and is cheap and everywhere

I use wheat berries (grain)..  and they work great!  I don't even simmer...  just soak for 20-24hrs.

Wheat is close enough to rye. Better than WBS, and that's a great price.
Watch Roger Rabbit's grain prep video, do it just like that: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Grain-Preparation

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

That is what I do.

I have used wheat, WBS, and corn. They all work well, but the large corn kernels offer less nucleation points per jar when spawning.
