Growing oyster mushrooms on paper?
    #19121816 - 11/11/13 05:05 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I'm getting ready for my first grow. I know oysters grow well on straw but that's gonna be a pain in the ass to haul in my house. So could I go with shredded paper or just go with the straw?

If you go with paper make sure if it has ink, soy inks were used.  Other than that someone else may be able to give you an idea of anything else you should watch for.  In the past I've fruited oysters using phone books and I have a small stack i'm going to use sometime soon for personal use and fun.

Try cardboard; i just soaked some in water then added oyster stem buts and set it outside.  They fruited 3 times over the next few months.

Cardboard / paper can work pretty well.  Just be sure to squeeze as much water out as you can, paper will absorb a lot more water than field capacity and it might not colonize if too wet.

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