We have also been experimenting with SRA on lime straw and Shittake straw on lime straw.  We have also had great success with bigger flushes and overall yield by adding well rotted manure to the lime soak water.  It has no effect on contam.  In fact, we have run about 50 buckets at this point and had zero contamination including ones where we used slightly moldy spawn to inoculate.  What has not worked for us is using sawdust spawn.  It just sits there and never colonizes the straw.  Glad to see yalls results on sawdust.  we are going to try this soon.  Keep it up.  A woman came in the store today and asked if we ever "experimented".  I laughted and told her that growing mushrooms WAS a great big experiment.




Let us know how the straw goes for those 2.  Thanks for the tip with manure; how much are you adding again?  What are your thoughts on using bagged/dried chicken manure?  Sawdust span never worked well for us either with straw; when we tried years ago.  But for sup. sawdust, sawdust spawn is my favorite!  A woman came in the store today and asked if we ever "experimented".  I laughted and told her that growing mushrooms WAS a great big experiment.  :rofl:!




Amount of manure?  shit...  if varies.  it doesnt seem to matter what kind either, so long as it is well rotted.  we have used rabbit and horse.  havent tried chicken.  pelletized chicken might be a bit too rich compared to what we are using though so go easy. do a test run.

Here is one of the bags of rice hulls and wood pellets with 15% cotton seed meal. The rice hulls were lime soaked for 16 hers, drained then wood pellets added to absorbs excess moisture, and hydrated to field capacity with additional lime water, cotton seed meal, and gypsum slurry. This bag weighed about 6# 2oz. The bottom 1/4 didn't colonize due to too much moisture. This cluster was harvested yesterday from the outdoor greenhouse and weighed 1# 4oz. Always amazing the difference environment makes. These are the same species I'm also growing in the basement greenhouse.

Cute kid :sun:

Nice work!  How much spawn and strain did you use? And are rice hulls used as a supplement or as a base substrate?

Be really keen to hear an update on this if possible Aleon as I'm just starting out something similar.

One other question: How clean is your cement mixer? Do you clean it out/bleach it?

Thanks
