How'd they taste?
This thread's got me planning to try it with some pinks.
Especially if you said they can grow in 90 °F peak temps.
I'll just line them all up in the garage and make Oysters for the whole neighborhood! :mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2:

You're killing me, that looks so tasty.

I'll keep mine inside for the summer then, but with such a short colonization time in the grocery bags....
Like I said, I got excited. My grain jars are in the PC right now. lol

yeah i mean the volume of substrate is much lower than a large bucket with straw. so don't expect the high yield. but for personal indoor grow its very easy. i like the ease of it. i don't have to prep any straw. and home depot has organic mulch as well. i updated the op with the link to the product.

While looking up grows for oysters, it seemed like EVERYBODY is using straw or something unnecessarily costly.
I'm glad to find this grow you did on mulch, because I can't find straw anywhere near me.
Not at feed stores, not at gardening stores, can't find them on a train, can't find them on a plane.....

All that's down here is hay, and I've read a large number of negative reviews about using hay and that it will never work.
So to find out that I can avoid the annoying pasteurization step AND the annoying source-the-straw step by using mulch...
I guess this is just a build-up to a big thank you for trying this out on supplies I already have around the house.

On a side-note, anytime I can recycle something (like grocery bags), I feel twice as good about what I'm growing.
I'm happy I may never know the lack-of-joys that come along with that pasteur step. lol

Thanks, again, Yu:dancer:

yes one of the reasons i use it. straw is cheap though when you have it available. micheals sometimes carries the small bales. but most of  the time the bales are older.

you can also use recycled news paper from this method. ive read the ink on newspaper is plant material based.

also, you don't even have to use the bleach soak. you can simply use warm water like this thread.

now the yields on newspaper are smaller than lets say straw. but if you do a large enough volume to match the size of substrate a 5 gallon bucket would have. yield could be similar. but i think large volumes of straw would be much easier prep than newspaper. you have to layer the newspaper at spawning. which is more time consuming than using large volumes of straw.

"Lowe's Hardware", "Home Depot", and "Wal Mart" all carry straw bales, and if they don't carry straw bales in store they can be ordered by yourself, or the store to be delivered to the store's location nearest you.

Damn man, sorry about that.  All that stuff can be ordered here in this hood in the fashion/manner described.  Never considered that one wouldn't be able to get those supplies shipped to certain locations in the country.

I just got my grain jars noc'd up today, so I'm going to try newspaper and mulch with Golden and Pink Oysters once they're ready.
I saw a youtube video of an old man in the woods giving lessons on layering newspaper with straw and I can't get it out of my head. Each, the newspaper and the mulch, are practically free, so whichever yields the best is the method I'll store in my notebook :smile:

Thanks for the advice, but they all give me the same response.
Something about a drought a while back that's changed the locations they send straw due to a shortage or something.
I'll just save Straw as something new and classic that I can try later on in life when I move on to another state :smile:
... a little something to look forward to.

I'm going to remember these recipes.
They all sound like they'd make some amazing tacos with the right sauce and peppers.
In about a month, I'm having a feast :thumbup:

man sounds like you need a heavy duty metal spray bottle. it took about a week for the 2nd flush to begin. the bags were dunked in water for an hour. then the water was poured off and the bag was placed back on the table.

I recently got a bunch of contams on my agar, which has never happened. I almost wonder if my spray bottle contaminated from just sitting there for so long. I spray my SAB down with it. :shrug:

Walmart has decent spray bottles for like 3 bucks. Threads on iso bottles nicely.

Never saw a need for an expensive industrial one. I wouldn't mind one of those pump sprayers that some guys on here buy from Home depot. I don't really mist my monos though.

do you mean you think the spraybottle full of iso alc contaminated?

hmmm. ive not had that happen. i just pour my alc bottles into my spray bottle. then use the sprayer to sanitize things like a SAB or work surface/gloves/arms ect.

i do keep the spray bottle on a draft free shelf.

if your worried use bleach wipes on the sab surface and warm soapy water.
