Spent Ganoderma grounds...
    #18708494 - 08/15/13 10:25 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hey all... just kinda bouncing some ideas around in my brain.

I have heard of people using spent coffee grounds as part of a growing substrate.

I got to thinking... I've been finding a good bit of ganoderma the past few weeks. I have been making tea out of it in the morning and have been saving the spent grounds. Since this mushroom resembles a very wood like texture and feel when dry, I was wondering if it could be used in place of coffee or wood chips when making a substrate?

Has anyone tried this? Or am I completely off track? :laugh:

I'm relatively new to this stuff, and I haven't heard of it being done... maybe for a good reason.

Why, you ask? Because I was hoping that if I use the Ganoderma to grow oysters, the oysters may be able to absorb any left over goodness from the ganoderma.

Either way, let's talk about it. I'd like to know  why it didn't/won't work, and if anyone has tried this before...

If there are any actives in the grounds (which I doubt) the oysters growing from it would most likely just use the coffee as a food source and break it down. So I highly doubt that any 'goodness' will go to the oysters. I mean, you don't expect your shrooms to taste like coffee if you use coffee in your sub do you?

Wishful thinking!

Oysters are used in mycoremediation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoremediation), and I was curious if they could absorb some of the health benefits that ganoderma has.

Um, just eat both. I don't see how it could happen that way. My best guess is that anything left behind by the ganoderma would be broken down for the oysters food. But I don't really know anything about either of those species so this is all speculative.
