Chinese Elm for mushroom growing?
    #14496718 - 05/22/11 10:49 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I trimmed a bunch of our elms this spring and have lots I could chip or make sawdust or whatnot, but is the elm a good wood for mushies? I know oysters will grow on just about anything, but... what is elm? Hardwood, softwood? Could I mix with my oak and alder to extend my substrate for shittake and such? I only have enough wood for a few bags of the oak and alder.
The more I google it, it seems to be a dense (hard) wood
Anyone use this before?

Maybe you could get a hold of some hypsizygus ulmarus culture, the elm oyster :wink:
