Using ziplock bags with micropore tape.
    #19462878 - 01/23/14 02:35 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

Question for you advanced mycologists.

Ive recently got into mushroom growing and have a question.

Ive got a bucket of coffee grounds from a local coffee shop.

Ive been reading that you can sterilize coffee in the microwave.

Im very new to this so I dont have much equipment yet and was wondering if my following thoughts would work.

Here is my thinking:

Sterilize the coffee in the microwave.

Take sterilized grounds into glovebox with ziplock bags.

Fill bags, cut holes. Cover holes with micropore tape.

Inoculate bag (Ive got some recently harvested oyster mushrooms. Planning on using cuttings from the bottom of the stems). Leave an airspace in the bag for FAE ( Is this necessary with the microspre tape?)

I know the above idea is very crude at best and is probably far from SOP. Im just wondering if this is likely to fail or has a decent chance of success.

Can anyone offer advice? Maybe a modification to the proposed plan?

Im new - be gentile..

Thanks in advance

Sudo

Sterilize in a microwave?
No.
Pretty sure you can grow oysters with the pf tek, just substitute the brf with sawdust.

Here are the links to the material suggesting to sterilize in microwave:

http://www.ehow.com/how_12114997_grow-mushrooms-indoors-coffee-grounds.html

http://www.shroomery.org/8678/Growing-Mushrooms-In-Soil

Seems like it would work. Anyone have any experience with this?

So you cant inoculate coffee by itself? Ive heard of people adding bird seed. Is that whats needed?

Sorry, these one word answers are nice, but leave a lot of questions in my mind.

I appreciate your response! Thanks

sounds like you need to do lots more research. no one Knocks up coffee. and if you want to use bird seed you will need to use a pressure cooker. You can steam bird seed to but it takes eight hours.

Nice - Thanks for the response.

Im definitely green and need to learn a LOT. You can see where Im going with this. Can you point me in a direction or to another forum thread?

Those url's I cited claim that you can just sterilize the coffee and inoculate it. Very odd, but everyone has an opinion on the net.

Any advice is appreciated.

look up RR's lets grow mushrooms video. It's a good place to start. Other than that just use the search bar at the top of the screen. Just start asking random questions that come to mind and reed all you can. That's how I started.

i use coffee grounds in my substrate, but not sterilized, just pasteurized.  1-3 tablespoons per quart of sub.  get crappiest coffee u can find, i've only had nice coffee (i.e. starbucks stuff) contam



i use that for drinking AND mixing

follow what all those ppl said, read more.  u can;t inject coffee substrate, but u can spawn to substrate that are supplemented with coffee

Do you use the coffee 'raw' or do you make a pot first?

Dumb question, but I got to ask.

Thx

A lot of people soak their grains with half strength coffee.
