Where do you all get sawdust for growing wood lovers?
    #18775353 - 08/29/13 09:55 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I would like to make mycelium blocks for shiitake and other wood lover strains but I am having trouble locating sawdust locally.  I Haven't really looked, but there are several Lowe's Home depot and the 7 cities area is just covered with stores. 

What wood lovers do you grow and where do you get the sawdust?  Also if anyone has found any way to grow wood loving strains without hardwood/softwood sawdust?  I think I heard about a tek growing shiitakes where you can make pf style cakes but insert broken up wooden kabob sticks.  I may try this until I find out more information.  I would like to grow Lions mane, shiitake, oysters and maybe some others if I can get any advice! Thanks all

Saw mills mostly, or ask logging companies where they take their wood, but you can always make your own by grabbing some dead hardwood from a forest and using a huge drillbit/drill and punching holes in the log until it's swiss cheese, then collect all the shavings/dust.

I grow Hericium, Flamulina, Ganoderma, Trametes, Wood-loving Psilocybes, Gymnopilus, this list goes on.

I make my own sawdust with an electric chain saw using canola oil for the bar.  Takes about 5 minutes to make enough sawdust for one bag.

I suspect we live in different environments!!

I got hardwood fuel pellets from lowes. add water, you got sawdust. I'm growing enoki at the moment, they seem to love it.

the only problem with that is that there will be many different types of wood (who knows if they come from treated wood) .

I bought a wood chipper off Craigslist. I run it through once for coarse chips, a couple times for fine. It takes a lot longer to sterilize then pellets but its cheaper and more convenient for me.
