questions on newspaper tek
    #18777399 - 08/30/13 01:46 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Ive saved up some newspaper & remember reading that to help increase your yields you need to add wheat bran. i was wondering what the ratios are for newspaper to bran. bran is fairly cheap by me runs a buck something per lb so i should be able to supplement no problem.

also, when you add the bran do you put it in after you pasteurize or before? doesnt some of the supplement fall out when you drain the water after its finished pasteurizing?

or will just plain newspaper do the trick just as good, i know adding supplements sometimes doesnt improve things that drastic from just the plain sub

The general rule is -- "do not supplement (with high nitrogen additives)pasteurized substrates". Mushrooms grow linearly while bacteria grow exponentially. Mushrooms can only win a battle that bacteria doesn't want to fight. You can grow mushrooms in straw, wood, cardboard, newspaper and other low-nutrition substrates with pasteurization. If you want to add higher nitrogen substrates like wheat bran, you will need to sterilize, not pasteurize, your substrate. Otherwise bacteria will rule the roost.

Yes, as long as you run it for long enough to sterilize.  The larger the substrate, the longer you need to run it.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.
